can Navy.

been examining American submarine
chasers which have been In the Adri-
attic sea with a view to their purchase.
The Greek navy already had two for
mer American battleships and experts
In the service favor q further aug
mentation of the feet with American
craft.
A fleet of SO chasers was sent to the
Adriatic to cooperate with the crris-
ers Olympia and Birmingham and
eight destroyers in carrying out Amer
ica's role In the execution Of the pro-
visions Of the armistice with Austria.
The ctasers are now at Malta for over
hauling. but in the meantime the
Greek government Is making overtures
for their purchase. These proposals
may be entertained, as the close of
the war makes 1t probable that there
will be little further need Of the chas-
ers. which are particularly suited for
navigation In shallow waters like those
of the Greek archipelago.
