A Moscow official wireless message

put the Second Polish army entirely
out of action and cut the Third army
off from all communication.
The apparent purpose of the Greek
campaign in Asia Minor is to squeeze

them opportunity Of escape, military
authorities here believe. The landing
of Greek troops at Panderma under
the. guns of British warships was re-

An advance by the Greeks from Pan

already pushing back the nationalists.
Severe fighting was indicated by

that in recent fighting around Philadel-

Turks were slain by Greek cavalry.
The Nationalists were driven across
