VIENNA, Dec. 5.--Two Greek gun
boats today were reported to be Wig
orously bombarding Valona, a city or
Albania The gunners aimed their
shells especially at public buildings
displaying the AlbaniaI flag, despite
the protests OF Isamil Kemail Bey.
provisional president of Albania. This
action on the part OF Greece, made
military experts believe that the pien-
ipotentiaries OF King George were sin
cere in their refusal TO sign the proto-
col for an armistice at Baghtche, and
that Greece meant to carry on active
warfare, singlehanded.
LONDON, Dec. 5.-The reported ac-
tivity OF Greek gunboats on the Al
bantam coast today, upset the calcu-
lations OF military experts watching
the war game. IL was apparent that
the Greeks were in earnest in de-
claring that they. alone, would carry
on the war with Turkey. II had been
reported that the ENJOYS OF King
George would sign the protocol for
an armistice within "a hours, and that
their refusal 10 sign with the other
envoys was just ruse to enable the
Greek navy. with the full understand
ing OF the Balkan nations, 70 keep q

Greece, all along, has coveted a
large slice OF Albania, which is that
portion OF Turkey In Europe lying TO
the north OF the Greek frontier. The
firing upon Valona today was taken
to mean that the Greeks refuse TO
recognize the autonomy OF Albania.
