ARTILLERY DUEL

Athens, Nov. 8.(UP)-An artillery duel has broken out along the en- tire battle front in northwestern Greece and the Italians have start- ed a series of local attacks in Epirus, the high command communique said today.
 Official and unofficial reports ir- dicated that the artillery fire, which normally would precede an attack in force, was tntensifying steadily and had now become violent.
 "There is an artillery duel along the whole front" the coinmunique said. "On the Epirus front local attacks against our positions were repulsed."
 It was believed that the Italian attacks might be feelerS, intended to disclose weak spots along the line through whihc troops and tanks could be poured in mass for thrust toward Janina.
 It was asserted that a withdrawal admitted by the high command yes- terday at the extreme end of it's left flank on the Epirus front, was "purely of local interest"
 Establishment of British Royal Air Force headquarters in Greece was disclosed by an official British statement.

craft protection--both planes and gtli1s--that was blamed primarily for the defeat of Allied forces in Nor- way).
 About 300 Italian prisoners, includ- ing four officers, were reported to have arrived at Florina from the Koritza front.
 Tn addition to the Koritza front, where intensive Italian artillery &C., tion indicated that the F'ascists were preparing for a big push, the Italians were reported making some advances on the other main fronts.
 Tn the Fascist drive toward Janina 1t was believed that the Italian strategy was to cut the main road between Filiates and Paramythia. The Greeks were said to be retiring in that sector after blowing up bridges and roads to delay the Italians.
 The Italians also had made long thrust toward Janina along the main road from Argyocastror, apparently attempting to enter the Janina re- zion by way of the zalongo and 1tria valleys. The Greeks were reported holding their defense lines on the main road, however, about IA miles from Janina.

 Rome, Nov. 8.--(UP)-'Enemy" planes dropped three bombs on the railroad station at the Italian naval base at Brindisi during the night and two iflcendiary bombs dropped near 1t, the high command com. tnu1ique said today.
 The bombs caused only slight damage and there were no casual ties, 1t was said.
 Four of six planes which attacked valona, Albania, on the opposite shore of the Adriatic, were shot down by intense atlti.aircraft fire, the cotnmuniQue said, and 1t was believed that the other two were downed. Two pilots who parachuted were captured, 1t was added.
 (Brindtst is a chief authorization point for Albania and Valona, oppo- site, is Q big decentralization point.)
 Despite bad weather Italian planes bombed roads on the Macedonian, front of Greece near Lake Prespa and military objectives on Corfu Island, the communique said.
 In North Africa, 1t continued, Italian planes attacked an air port and military objectives in the Siwa Oasis, causing serious losses by bombing and machine gunning troop concentrations. Two grounded Brit. ish 1ysander planes were destroyed, 1t was said,

the fighting against the Axis, one cruiser, 8 destroyerS and torpedo boats and six submarines were add ed to the British effectives.
 Oflcial and unofficial reports inc dicate that already about 30 Ital- ian submarines out of a total of 104 have been destroyed. Unofficial esti- mates in the spring of 1940 claimed that over so of Germany's U-boats had been sunk.
 (Neutrsl reports estimate that re- placements have by now built up Germany's submarine fleet to 100)
 The problem of U-boat control grows daily more difficult as the nights lengthen and reduce the haz- ard of submarines leaving the new northern bases. Furthermore, new fleet demands arising from the op- erations in Greek waters is divert ing additional destroyers from pa- trol and convoy duties.
 In the sphere of naval operations, British sources see little reason to expect a clash between battle fleets, since Britain still possesses a nota- ble superiority in capital ships. Also, German and Italian battleships and cruisers thus far have distinguished themselves chiefly in flight, although the British have shown the great est desire on all occasions to engage, even against odds.

Searchcing par ties consisting of number of fire men and m mbers of the South End AC were organized and with the aid of searchlightS, search through swampland and brush in the vicin- ity of the home of the missing wo- man, until 2:30 Thursday morning was conducted.
 The search was resumed Thurs day morning. Police learned the wo- man was seen on Riverside Avenue about half mile from her home early Wednesday afternoon, travel ing in a northerly direction. A search of the cwampland, and woods through North Main street and East Plymouth, as well as search along the shores of the Old Marsh Pond, was conSucted Thurs day by state police and number If friends and volunteers of the miss- ing woman.
 Several reports received by the police during the day, placed the woman at various parts of the town. All reports were run down but no trace of her was found. Searchers ended their search shortly after 5 o'clock Thursday but resumed the search north of the Old Marsh pond this morning.

GREEK GUNS IN ACTION

Ohrid, Jugoslav Frontier, Nov. B. (UP)-Albanian authorities have or. dered civilians to evacuate ,Koritza, one of the major Italian military bases in Albania, because of con- tinuous bombardment of the city by Greek artillery, frontier reports said today. Greek guns emplaced in the Morova mountains were said to be shelling Koritza.
 Frontier dispatches said also that 10 Italian planes bombed LarisSa, Greece, this morning, killing one and wounding six persons. It was reported that 30 bombs were drop ped on Janina, killing two and wounding five.
 Reports of activity of Albanian rebels continued. It was said that rebels killed 21 Italian soldiers and captured 40 troopers and three ser- geantS and considerable stores of ammunition.

sources claimed today that on Ital- ian attempt to launch . blitekrieg in the direction of Salonica through Florina had been wrecked.
 The Greeks claimed that they had brought the Italian drive through Florina to c halt and that two crack Italian regiments, which had been entrusted with making an impor- tant thrust through to salonica, had been dispersed Of captured by Greek forces.
 Italian aircraft activity was said to have been restricted considerably because of the accuracy of Greek anti-aircraft fire and overcast skies on the Florina front.

British Bombers Hit Krupp Works Severely

concentrated attack on the sub- marine base at Lorient, Several airdromes in Germany and enemy occupied territory also were at- tackled. None of our aircraft is miss ing"
 In an earlier and briefer com munique the ministry spoke of the Krupp attack as having been "ex- ceedingly heavy.
 Use of the word exceedingly" in- dicated that it was of extraordinary extent. The ministry is sparing of such words.
 Over 800 British Raids
 Describing the aggregate of Brit ish air attacks to date the air min- istry disclosed that more than 500 separate attacks had been made on German occupied channel ports, in- cluding 40 on Boulogne, 35 on Calais, 3l on Flushing, 28 on Dunkirk and IS on Emden.
 It was said reliably that although the danger of an invasion of the British Isles had passed for the pres ent, the air force intended to further intensity attacks on the channel in- vasion ports until there is not even anchorage for rowboat."
 It had been forecast when Air Marshal Sir Charles Portal became chief of air staff a month ago that British counter offensive operations would be stepped up promptly.
 Since then there have been wide spread attacks on Germany, invasion ports and German airdromes in oc- cupied territory. Royal Air Force planes also have intensified attacks on Italy and have bombed the Naples area twice.
 The Krupp plant is one of the largest arinamentS works in the world. In 1918, toward the end of the last war, it employed l67,00O men.
 The air ministry in giving details of its attacks on Germany early Thursday morning named long list of objectlves attacked.
 An important eirplane engine works in the Spandau suburb of Berlin, railroad and freight yards northwest of Berlin. the important Rhine harbors of Duisbnrg, Ruhrort, Mannheim and Ludwigshafen; oil refinerles at Leuna and Hamburg. railroad junction at Preizsch, rail- road yards at Hamm, Mainz and Cologne: factories near Cologne and Dusseldorf. an airdrome at Bolltz and the dock area of Dunklrk, France, were attacked despite bad weather which compelled the British planes to fiy blind through heavy clouds and storms.

 The position of National Commit teeman Samuel F. Pryor, Jr., also was in doubt. Whether he could control several divergent groups in the party was question being dis cussed. He had trouble with these groups when Gov. Baldwin was "in", it was reported; now that defeat has occurred, he may experience ad- ditional worries.
 Two Names Mentioned
 Two names were mentioned in connection with a new state chair man. They were Rep. w. Ellery Allyn, Waterford, who did not run for reelection, and Rep. Charles s. Bissell, Suffield, who was a candi- date for national committeeman be- fore Pryor consented to run again.

 London Landmarks
 London, Nov. 8-(UP)-The Tower of London and the St. Clement Danes church in the Strand have been damaged in recent German air raids, 1t was disclosed today.
 The turret and one wall of the Tower of Lc:ldon were hit. Bombs tore down walls eight feet thick en- closing the warden's quarters. A section of the wall as large as To- ton truck fell into the moat.
 St. Clement Danes church was completed in 1882 from designs by Sir Christopher Wren. In its tower spire hang the bells of the nursery rhyme Oranges and lemons, say the bells of St. Clements"
 Each March 31 children of the par ish receive oranges and lemons.
 The original church on the site probably received its name from 8 settlement of Danes in the neighbor- hood. St. Clement Danes now is the unofficial church of the Danish col ony in London.
 The tower is on the bank of the Thames adjoining the boundary of the city. Once a citadel, never Seri- ously assaulted, it also has served as a royal palace, state prison and mint. It is regarded historically as the most interesting spot in England.
 The tower comprises an irregular mass of buildings erected at various periods and surrounded by double line of wall. strengthened with tow- CTS, and by deep moat. In the cen- ter rises the square Norman or white tower.
 At St. Clements Danes two bombs crashed within a few feet of the church on the side toward the law courts. The bomb crateTs almost oyerlapped.
 Iron railIngs around the church were torn down, several stained glass windows were shattered and the walls were pockmarked by large bomb splinters. The tower which contains the famous bells also was damaged.

ARMAMENT is EXPENSIVE

Economists have estimated that Hit
ler's Germany expended half of the ma
tional income, for Period of at least five
years, upon the development of the great
est military machine in the history of the
world -
1t is said that the rearmament of Ger
mary represents the equivalent of twenty
billion dollars year for five years Back
of this expenditure is the intensive organ
izatiOn of the entire German people into
the component parts of a fighting nation.
Nothing else interfered with the exigencies
of military efficiency.
1t is the unfortunate condition of
world affairs that forces the United States
to extend its defense preparations to record
proportions. If we are to remain free, in
a world that is largely dominated by ag-
greSsive tOtalitarian states, we must have
the power to meet their challenge. 1t is a
big order for a democracy and one that
must be filled without loss of time
The menace to the United States that
stems from a Hitler-dominated Europe is
directed against our economic strength as
well as our political and military position.
The German system of barter represents
the acme of business amalgamation, with
all Europe included in one super-trust, en-
dcwed with the powers of government and
utterly INSCRIPTIONS in its dealings with
the balance of the world.
Because Germany must export to pros
per, in times of peace, we might as we'll
prepare ourselves for an economic often
sive, even if the threat of immediate war
fare is remote For this reason it seems to
us that the United States is wise in prepar-
ing an economic offensive, designed to pro-
tect our hemisphere from the totalitarian
invasion.
The plan to outbid the dictators for
the resources of South America may cost
some money but it will be well-spent if it
prevents Hitler, Mussolini and, maybe,
Japan, from consolidating the advantages
that accrue to them through their present
military positions.

GUARANTEE HIS JOB!

In connection with this country's
mobilization plans for defense, Florida's
state superintendent of public instruction,
Colin English, has made a suggestion
which strikes US as a genuine contribution,
if only public opinion can be sold on the
idea
Why should we not grant civil leaves
of-absence for military service? sss.
When his country calls, man isn't
supposed to stop and think of his job, or
what he is going to come back to, when
the emergency is over. But others well
might stop and think for him. Why not
job assurance, on his return?
In business, in education, wherever
possible, why not say:
''You may not be asking us, but we are
telling you-that your job will be here for
you when you get back That is the least
we can do, who stay behind
Colin English made the suggestion in
formally, as educators and civic leaders
met in Gainesville at his call recently, to
discuss defense
As he said, the leave-Of-absence idea
is not a thing that could be written iEto
law, but should the idea catch hold, no law
would be needed; only imagination.
To say that men might enlist more
freely, on such an understanding, would
be in no way to discount their patriotism.
Nor would it impugn ideals to regard
job assurance as a contribution to morale.
1t seems to us only common sense. The
work man did before is the very founda-
ton Of what he has to come back to.
English's idea we'd like to see put to
the test of everyday discussion. 1t has
something American about it we like.

GOLD MEANS POWER

The gold standard of the United
States has passed the $4,000, 900, 900
level and some Americans, continue to
wonder whether it will prove a benefit
or not.
Of course, our supply of gold will not
do the nation much good as long as it re-
mains locked in the vaults at Fort Knox,
Kentucky. If the United States can de-
eide to use the gold stocks wisely, it will
be a tremendous asset throughout the
world.
To ascertain the value of our gold and
the keen desire of other nations to pos
sess it, all that we have to do is TO make
some arrangement for the other peoples of
the world to get chance at It.
