Both are moderates.
Other bombs burst in front of
the residence of an army COM
mandant and Banovina palace,
peasant party headquarters. Win
'dows were broken but no casual

Union day services in some
churches were interrupted by
small bombs also.
tThe Swiss radio quoted the Yu-

in Zagreb on the lives of the CHIEF
of the province, has deputy, and
Vice Premier Mack. No arrests
were reported.)
Croat extremists demand the
separation of their territory, Croa-
tia, from the rest of Yugoslavia, a
kingdom welded after the World
war. Croatia formerly was part of
the crown lands of the Hungarian
section Of Austria : Hungary and
since its incorporation into Yugo-
slavia has been the scene of much
disaffection with what the Croats
called the dominance of the Serbs
in Yugoslavia. l

regarding it's attitude on the bor-

Relations between Thai and In
do.China have been tense since the
Bangkok government early in Sep
tember formally asked Vichy to
return two small areas in Laos,
western Indo : China state, which
France took from Siam by force
in 1907. Vichy rejected the claim.
Colonial officers here said they
would retaliate with their entire
strength against any major attacks
by Thailand along the trouble bor-
der. l
A Domei, Japanese news agen-
cy, dispatch in Hongkong said that
a Thai communique in Bangkok
reported skirmishes were continue
ing between French and Thai bor-
der patrols.
(The communique also said Thai
panes bombed two points IN lndo
China and evoked a strong protest
from the French.)
French colonial officials here
said the border situation had been
grave" since last Thursday,
when, they said, Thai planes
bombed Savannakhet and Thakhek,
two border towns, and killed three
persons.
The French said they retailiated
by shelling Kahon and that similar
retaliations would be taken in the
future, although Indo China was
avoiding any provocation toward
Thai and Was not taking the initia-
tive in military action.
(The Thai high command Satur-
day reported the occupation Of
three Indo-Chinese districts by it's
forces. 1t also said the raids on

tons on the heights above Pogra-
detz, supported by strong artillery
From Monday to Thursday they
threw big shells at the Greeks while
the Greeks pounded their positions.
On Thursday the Greeks opened
their main attack, charging the Ital-
ians with bayonets and hand gre
nades and finally crushing the last
important resistance.
Pogradetz was in their hands then,
but there was still a job of hopping
up the area before Pogradetz could
be counted safe. Therefore only ad-
vance units entered the city at first.
The larger forces followed after the
Italians had been pushed we'll back of
the immediate area.
In announcing the capture of Po-
gradetz, then, the high command was
simply following the practice eStab-
lished at the start of the war nearly
five weeks ago.
Many towns and villages are said
to have fallen into Greek hands
which have not yet been mentioned
in official communicates
In the central sector especially the
Greeks have made important gains
and are still advancing daily. The
countryside i: wild and mountainous
and there is little concerted resist

The Greeks in this sector are find
ing the Italians elusive. Correspon-
dents with the Greek army have been
told that Greeks pursued three Ital-
ian battalions through the noun
tains for days before they sighted
them Three times they caught up
with them and engaged the rear
guard, but each time the Italians
speedily resumed their retreat.
Some Greek units, officers sa ,
have penetrated a three or four-day
journey by mule into Albania.

LINE SABOTAGED

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-(RHA tele-

ration speech to the United States

day and Columbia Broadcasting
system said it was informed that
the line had been sabotaged out

the United States border.
The American Telephone and
company, however, said
its information was that an %electri-

CHS said it's correspondents at
Mexico City learned from COM

miles of the line were torn down

In the war at sea, two German
supply ships we're reported hit by
aerial and marine torpedoes, one
left in sinking condition and the
other sending out an S o S.
London's customary evening raid
alarm sounded tonight with a brief
accompaniment of anti-aircraft
fire.
Fires still smoldered in South
ampton and many shops and
houses were in ruins or badly dam
aged, but the ministries of air and
home security said casualties were
not "unduly heavy" and that the
homeless were being taken care of.
The communicates said the South
ampton attack was carried out by
"a considerable force of enemy
aircraft which deliberately at
tackled the center of the town.
In spite of extensive damage and
flood of emergency calls, however,
all services in the city functioned
well, the ministries said, and fires
were brought under control.
/. The first daylight alarm in Lon
don today came in mid-morning,
several hours after the all clear

second came a little later, and
then the third.
British bombers, the air minis
try said, were kept inactive last
night by the weather. l

Two Fascist successes also were
reported in East Africa against the

hnal analysis be decided at sea
despite the more spectacular ma
turf OF exchanges of aerial blows.
No Secret
One Warship could deal with the
auxiliary cruiser mentioned in Sun
days German communioue. but
many would be required to run
down such a quarry in distant
oceans. London no longer under
takes to keep it a secret that few
naval vessels can be spared for
such a purpose, even with the ac-
QUESTION of so destroyers from the
United States.
The raider presumably was the
same sea wolf which DESTROYED the
1852 ton merchant ship Port Bris-
bane and possibly the Maimoa, a
comparable vessel, a few days ago
in the Indian ocean.
One of its mines may have sunk
the American ship City of Ray
vile last month in Australian wa
tiers. The German communicate
stated that the claim of 70, 900 tons
did not include successes as a
result OF the cruisers mine laying
activity"
One or more other raiders ap-
pear to have been operating re-
Gently in the Atlantic as well.
Dealing with the war at sea as
a whole, including m e telling
blows from aerial bombs and sub
marine torpedoes, the statement of
MT. Cross was naturally of far
more significance than any parti-
san report on the activity of an
isolated enemy surface craft.
Heavy Losses
Since the pace of total war quick
ened last June, Britain has been
losing an average of co. 900 tons a
week, he said, stating frankly that
the rate at which we are building
SHIPS does not make up for our
losses"
The Nazis promptly asserted the
Inquire was far too low, contending
that actually the rate of d~estruc-
ton rivaled that of the later stages
of the World war.
Regardless of balance sheets, the
general situation inevitably sug-
gests a parallel with historic 1917,
when Britain also was losing ships
faster than they could be built,
bought Or repaired.
Admiral William S. Sims report
ed that Britain was facing defeat
when he arrived in London upon
this country's entry into war.
"Al this British confidence in
the defeat of the Germans rested
on a misapprehension,' he wrote
after the armistice. The Ger
mans, it appeared, we're not losing
the war-they were winning it."
Reporting to the navy depart
ment that he was fairly astound-
ed" by the secret official figures
shown him by Admiral Sir John
Jellicoe, Admiral Sims added that
surface raiders at this time were
escaping into the open sea, taking
advantage of the havoc wrought
by submarines close at home.
Only in the sense that the Kai-
ser's fleet dared not emerge from
its bases did Britain then control
the seas, Admiral Sims decided.
1t is ironic that in early 1917
Germany was supremacy confident
of victory by means of unrestricted
undersea warfare within three or
four months.
Admiral Sims reported that
German captives laughed at the
notion of a German defeat; their
attitude was that of conquerors,
not prisoners"
The course that history actually
took nearly a quarter century ago
must reinforce British hopes now,
in a comparable crisis. Minister
Cross in his statement said that
I'VE feel that we will eventually
conquer" !
