FATE OF SICILY
ISLAND MAY BE BYPASSED IN ATTACK ON ITALIAN MAINLAND. ENEMY SEA TRAFFIC VIRTUALLY STOPPED. (By Telegraph—Press Association- -Copyright) (Received This Day, Noon.) LONDON, July 5. Mr Morley Richards, the “Daily Express” military writer, says the neutralisation of Sicily is in sight. There is evidence, he adds, that practically no traffic has crossed the Sicilian Channel from Italy for more than a week. This is the result of consistent Allied.bombing of the terminals of the Sicilian Channel rail ferry. Mr Richards says it is by no means certain that the taking of Sicily is in the Allied plan—that.might be considered expensive in relation to the island’s value. He suggests that Sicily may be passed for a direct landing on the Italian mainland.
