Embassy officials in Paris, seek

to have failed to penetrate the

The embassy was said to have pro.

Gals in Paris as soon as it learned
Mrs. Deegan was in custody. Ac'
cording to reports received here, she
was detained after German police
had invited her to go to a Paris
prison to visit British prisoners.
The last report received by the
state department here on the case
was sent from Paris on December
3, at which time the embassy ar-
parently had only indirect word that
Mrs. Deegan was comfortably
lodged"
The state department announced
that appropriate action" was being
taken by the Paris embassy.
Mrs. Deegan, a granddaughter of
a former United States senator from
North Carolina, Jeter C. Pritchard,
had been employed as a reception
clerk in the Paris embassy since
1885. She previously had lived sew.
eral years in Paris.
On the basis of information from
Paris, officials here assumed Mrs.
Deegan's detention was linked in
some way with the cases of the
British prisoners whom she was
taken to visit.

The resignation of Marshal Pietro
Badoglio, Italian chief OF general

the spokesman commented.
Porto Edda was plundered and left
in flames by the Italians, the Greek
high command said.
The occupation of the ancient
town, for 20 centuries an lonian sea-
port, appeared to have been without
material incident, and all the heavy
fighting in the southern sector was
about Ar%girocastro, which lies some
IS miles to the northeast.
The Greeks, who had not officially
claimed Porto Edda until long after
its substantial capture had been
widely reported, declared that Argi-
~rocastro must fall at any moment.
dispatches reaching the 4ugoslaV
frontier reported that Argirocastrc

COIlle
Today's Italian war bulletin from
the Italian high command reported
fresh Greek pressure in Albania
from troops withdrawn from other
borders, and some foreign observ-
ers took this to mean that the
Greeks feel their country is safe
for the present from German at
tack by way of Bulgaria or Yugo-
slavia.
Badoglio's military skill gave
M%ussolini his empire; II Duce
called on him to deliver the vic
tor y over Halle Selassie's ragged
legions, and Badoglio delivered
swiftly, where old Marshal de Bono
might have failed.
That triumph in 1896 revenged
for Badoglio the Italian humiliation
OF 1896, at Aduwa, which he had
witnessed as a second lieutenant
of artillery.
Then and then only Badoglio,
shoWered with honors, became a
member of the Fascist party.
He had been King Vittorio Eman-

KING he could smash them with a

another British ship perhaps had
taken up where she left off in the
chase of the Nazi vessel.
The fact that for the moment at
least there is peril in these waters
was illustrated late in the day by
the action of the British steamer
Ell Argentine in turning about and
tieing up again in the harbor here
after having sailed.
The Carnarvon Castle, naval ex-
perts here said, apparently
dropped the engagement upon be-
ing outdistanced by the faster Ger
man.

The fight was placed here by in
formed persons as some 1000
miles northeast of Montevideo.
ct was said unofficially in Lon
don that it was 700 miles to the
northeast, but either area would be
within the security belt.)
An interesting phase of the battle
was the strong supposition that
even as German shells were being
pumped at her, the Carnarvon Cas-.
tie had German prisoners aboard
On Nov. 80, she halted the Brazili-
an coastal steamer Itape 10 miles
offshore and removed % passen-
gers declared by the British to be
Germans. 1t seemed unlikely that
there had been opportunity in the
meantime for the transfer of the
%.
A similarly inconclusive engage
ment occurred last July % between
the 2 2 ,209-ton British merchant
cruiser Alcantara and a German
raider near the Brazilian island of
Trinidad. The Alcantara was hit,
was repaired at Rio de Janeiro
and then put out to e again. Her
men reported she had scored sew
eral hits on the Nazi.
The first and far the most dra-
matte instance of sea warfare in
these waters last December led to
the scuttling Of the German pocket
battleship Admiral Graf Spec. En-
gagged by three British cruisers off
Montevideo , she fled crippled INTO
the harbor. There, while the Brit
ishers waited outside to renew the
fight, she gave up the show and
was destroyed by her w men. l
