occupation of the Morava Mountain
range from which Italians were
shelled into retreat from Koritza,
and Of Mount Ivan and the ridge
of Kaf-Karit northeast of Koritza
toward Lakes Presba and Ochrida.
Completing its picture of the new
front line, the high command said
Greeks in the central - Pindus
Mountain-sector captured Leskoviki
and pushed on beyond the Albanian
frontier towns of Erseka and Borova.
Along the coast-in the Epirus
sector--the Greeks were reported to
have showed the last of the Italians
across the border from the Greek
frontier town of Filiates.
Captured Equipment Listed.
The Greek announcement that six
Fascist divisions (72,000 to 10000
mem had failed to hold Koritza de-
spite their strong concrete defense
positions guarded by barbed wire
indicated that the battle for the key
town was of greater magnitude than
limited in any previous reports.
The Greek high command said
captured Italian equipment in
cluded 80 large and small guns, IS
anti-aircraft guns, 20 tanks, more
than $50 automobiles, more than
/ 500 motorcycles and bicycles, con-
siderable quantities of munitions
and supplies of food and clothing.
Retreating Italians were reported
bombed heavily by Greek and Brit
ish planes swooping into mountain
passes jammed with troops. Reports
from SaloEika said British planes
alone were believed to have shot
down 40 Italian planes within the
past few days.
Greek accounts of the entry of
their troops into Koritza, which the
Greek press termed a liberated
Greek city," said the soldiers were
greeted outside the city by the
Mayor, priest and delegation of
citizens. Cheering citizens were
said to have lined flower -strewn
streets, decked with Greek flags.

u. !. Protests
Detention Of Pair
In nIndo-China
Action Follows Treatment
Of Vice Consul. Reporter
By French and Joponese

The United States today sternly
protested the detention of an Amer
ican Vice Consul and a newspaper
man in Haiphong, French Indo-
China, by japanese soldiers appar
emily in cooperation with French
authorities.
The State Department was advised
that Robert w. Rinden, American
Vice Consul at Hanoi. and Melville
Jacoby. a United Press correspond
ent. were threatened by japanese
soldiers after taking pictures of q
warehouse at Haiphong, where it was
reported that Japanese soldiers
were encamped under an American
fiae.
After considerable discussio n
among the Americans, the japanese
soldiers and French authorities, the
two; men were taken to the French
military headquarters, later return
ing to Hanoi the same day. The in
cident occurred Thursday.
Other Protests Planned.
Charles S. Reed, I'd. American
Consul at Hanoi. informed the de-
partment that he had lodged a pro-
test with the Governor General OF
French Indo-China and with the
Japanese Consul General at Hanoi
The department announced that
it was "telegraphing appropriate
American officials to make further
representations in regard to this
matter"
Officials declined to specify where
further protests would be lodged, but
it was presumed that the matter
would be taken up with the JAP
anese government at Toxic and pos
sihly with the French government
at Vichy.
In a formal statement the depart
ment related details of the incident
as reported by Consul Reed. Mr.
Reed said that Mr.. Rinden, acting

Britain Beginning to Near End
OF Her Financial Resources,
Lord Lothion Says on Return
Gold and Securities
VirtuuIIy Used Up,
Envoy Reveals
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. %. - Lord
Lothian. British Ambassador to the
United States, said today that Great
Britain was beginning to come to
the end of her financial resources.
He made the statement on his
return to this country aboard Pan
American Airways' Atlantic Clipper
after vacation in his war-torn
homeland.
1t was the only remark in half
hour interview at the La Guardis
Field Marine Terminal that was not
optimistic in respect to Britain's
situation in its war with the axis
powers
He said that 1941 would be diff
cult year" and that England needed
all kinds of war supplies, including
munitions, ships and perhaps fl
nance"
Questioned further, he added that
available gold and securities had
been virtually used up and that this
factor figured in 1941 calculations
The financial problem, he said, was
becoming urgent"
He expressed satisfaction with the
aid given England by the United
States, pointed out it was increasing
and added there was no feeling at
home that American assistance
was not enough"
Everything Possible Being Done.
At Hyde Park yesterday President
Roosevelt said that everything pos
sible to aid Britain was being done
at the present time and that it
should not be taken for granted
that consideration was being given
to expanding American assistance.
When he was informed there had
been some discussion of extending
credit to Britain-a move which
would require a change in the john
son Act forbidding loans to nations
in default on World War debt pay
ments-Mr. Roosevelt said there
had been no discussion of this in
the Government.
Under the rule of thumb policy
laid dawn by the President two
weeks ago, the United States and
Britain will share equally in Amer
ican production of planes, guns and
other war equipment
Confidence in ultimate victory is
high" Lord Lothian said. 1.-The peo-
pie have not the slightest doubt
that they are going to win and the
bombings have intensified national
unity. The people feel that they are
not going to be done in by Hitler,
but that they are going to do Hit
Ter in instead"
President Roosevelt's announce
ment of $3.50 split between this
country and Britain in United States
production of arms, he added, was
received in England with graft
tude and approval"

The high command told a nation
in holiday mood that its army had
left mot single Italian soldier in
Greek territory" and was driving
Italian lines of resistance deeper
into Albania from north of Koritza
to the sea.
Much Stores Seized.
The Greeks reported taking pris-
oners by the hundreds as they
pressed forward on the heels Of
their foe and said uncounted mill
tary stores were seized-guns and
equipment dumped by the fleeing
Italians in such quantity that il
clogged the mountain roads.
dispatches from Bitolji, across
the Yugoslav frontier, said bat
tered Italian defenders of Ko-
rita were fighting their way to-
ward Pogradetz on Lake Ochrida,
20 miles north of Koritza. They
said Pogradetz apparently was
the left flank anchor of a new
Italian defense line roughly 80
miles back from the frontier
along the whole 100-mile battle
front.
Like Koritza, which Greek
troops entered victoriously yes
terday with bands blaring and
soldiers marching over flower
strewn streets, Pogradetz guards
the main road northwest past
Elbasani to the port of Durazzo,
across the Adriatic from Italy.

Germans Torpedo
Three Freighters Off
Coast Of Ireland
One Ship Is Sunk in

Attack on Convoy
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-German
U-boats, striking at British lifelines
in an area west of the Irish coast
the new ship graveyard Of the North
Atlantic--torpedoed three freighters
today in what appeared to be an
attack on a convoy.
The 5,228-ton British freighter
Tymeric apparently went down
quickly, as the Swedish freighter
Anten radioed she had Tymeric sur
vivors aboard when she, too, was
torpedoed.
The British Blairesk, $500 tons,
reported she had been torpedoed-
nothing more.
Mackay Radio picked up these
terse messages, relayed through
English land stations from the
waters where scores of ships have
been attacked or sent to the bottom
"SSS Blairesk torpedoed in lat
itude 56.42 North, longitude 1914

"At 1853 GMT. (8:53 am. ErS.T9
Anten still floating"
The messages showed the 5,135-
ton Anten was struck on the same
spot where the Tymeric went down,
about 295 miles northwest Of Ireland
apparently after she had picked
up survivors in the icy seas. Crews
of the vessels probably totaled 110
men,
The Anten has been trading be-
tween England and Australia. She
was built in 1920; her home port
is Gothenburg.
