had been constructed across a river.
The trucks had churned deep ruts
of mud in the wet soil where the
new road sloped down TO the bridge
on either side.
Work on Road at Night.
Our headlights revealed scores Of
soldiers at work In the darkness.
Without even a lantern, they were
laying big rocks in the ruts. Their
hands were covered with mud. 1t
was midnight and the air was very
cold. Swiftly and increasingly they
passed rock after rock from one to
the other; then packed them into
place. Before daybreak this road
would have a good foundation.
I saw their mud-caked hands as
we rode by. They were the hands
of men who hold freedom at its
eternal value. They were the hands
which keep this advance into Albania
rolling on and on. Above all, they
are the hands with which Mussolini
did not reckon. They are strong
hands and, if you get what mean,
they are clean. All the mud in these
wild, lonely valleys will never change
that. 1t makes a difference when
people fight with clean hands.

War One Of Attrition,
Italian Radio Asserts

b. the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. THE Italian
radio said today that the axis had
shifted from blitzkreig tactics to
war of attrition. The comment,
heard by c. B. S., follows;
This is not a war which is be-
ing fought on one small front. 1t
Is not a war hich will be decided
by local successes. But it is war
which is being fought on two conti-
nents over the greatest war front
the world has ever seen.
"The British started off better
prepared for war of attrition than
the axis. But since the collapse of
the British Allies. one after the 9TH
er, it is the axis which is better
prepared for war of attrition. 1t
is the axis which is getting strong
er and stronger in reserves and sup
plies in relation to the British EN-
pire.
The axis has proved to be more
versatile in methods of warfare, be-
ing able to adapt itself to the needs
Of the moment. Thus, we have the
blitzkreig of some months ago and
now the wearing down tactics of
today.

teeth, and it is at the mercy of the

than most bombing raids and far
greater strain on the nerves, but
the advance goes on and on.
Sometimes you see dead horse
or mule lying in a ditch. Sometimes
you pass a deso1ate track animal
standing lone and abandoned and
almost too weak to move. Its back
has a wide cash of red flesh. You
understand that 1t has given all it
can give for the freedom of Greece
You wonder what kind of mystifica-
ton dumb creatures must feel over
the inexorable phenomenon which
is known as war.
In the daytime you see trucks
so thoroughly camouflaged that ztal-
! ian aviators could never spot them
and there beside the road men lie
stretched out on the damp earth
or hard gravel. They sleep from
sheer exhaustion and sometimes they
look like corpses.
Spring Up From Nowhere.
In the night, legions of men and
animals spring up from nowhere
and long lines of ghostly shapes
move past you, men prodding mules
to ope side or plodding silently
ahead. One after another, the dim
shapes move out of the blackness,
then vanish into it again, and the
mountains raise vague mounds of
darkness on all sides, the stars too
feeble above them to penetrate
down into these gloomy troughs
where the advances move on. 1t is
weird and phantomlike. You won-
der how many tens of thousands of
men and animals are moving on
ward like this night after night
and when, if ever, they will stop.
After many hours along these
roads, which lead up to various parts
/ of the front, and after mud and rain
and chilling cold, it seems remark
able that these Greek soldiers al
ways smile SO readily and perform
tasks of the greatest drudgery with
such universal Willingness.

time, but the advance extends back
ward over miles and miles, and all
the way up you see 1t as we'll as
feel it. Down in the tight, rocky
valleys and through the jagged ra-
vines, and over the rounded, lower
hills, it rolls slowly, doggedly on
ward, day and night.
On the main roads the advance
rolls on wheels. hundreds of lumber
ing trucks, scores of Red Cross am
balances, thousands of wagons and
carts, loaded with munitions and
supplies. In between plod long lines
Of track animals, horses and mules,
led by muddy footed soldiers. From
way back in Greece they keep COM
ing and coming until it seems that
everything movable is rolling up and
onward into Albania and that the
jaws of war will never be able to
digest all this conglomerate mass
of materials.
Dangerous Travel.

it is an unpleasant business. The

sharp curve is a gamble. On many

know that almost invariably the
Greek trucks take the curves in the
middle of the road or clear over or
your side. You also remember the
wrecked Italian trucks, bottom side
up and many feet below the road

have already passed This kind OF
travel is certainly more dangerous

but he was too lazy. He only made

He had little sharp eyes like a

cause he was afraid of catching cold.
Then there was the giant with

other. In many places you must
climb miles from the nearest road in
order to find them. Men and mules
alone are capable of treading their
way up and up to keep, the troops
supplied with munitions, and to
many rocky heights nothing larger
than machine guns can be trans
ported.
This explains why the decisive en-
gagements anywhere along this
front can be heard, but cannot be
seen.

mountain" a Greek colonel says.
He points across a deep gorge and
then to other ridges beyond. where
the Fascists are nested. From this

most incredible that any of them
should be taken when defended by
well-armed men. A feeling of won-

Here, as in Finland, soldiers do
things which verge on the super
human, and there is a eml-madneSS
about the war which is commensu-

Miraculous Advance.
But the advance into Albania goes
on day and night and yard by yard,
and somehow, eventually and mirac-
ulously mile by mile. If it were not
for the indomitable spirit of rough
clad little men, this warfare would
be just another ugly business. But
there is something here which rises
above the highest mountains and
also rises above suffering, hunger
and death itself. This is the thing
which, having felt, you do not forget.

CHAPTER w.
Witch of Hates Three Giant Sons.

Witch of Hates Three Giant Sons.
The three giants were very ILL
tempered. They were brothers, but
they didn't like each other. Each
tried to pretend he was the most
important giant in the world.
They were the three sons of the
witch of hate. She hated the world
because every time she flew near
a mirror she saw how ugly she was.
She used to break every mirror she
could find.
Once she saw the Fairy Queen
turn bare field into field of f1ow-
ers. "Humph, can do that" said
the witch. She tried it. Nothing
happened except that green snakes
crawled out of holes all over the
field. People ran away in horror
and set nets over the chimneys to
catch the witch.
She grew very old and when she
was dying she called her ugly sons
about her. Beside her couch stood
a big, iron cauldron in which a
black sirup was cooking. She
dipped three bottles into it, filled
them and handed one each to her
sons.
This" she said, "is a secret brew.
Keep it. When you want to make
people your slaves just put a drop
of my brew in their wells"
Rejoiced at Her Death.
She died. And the sons were so
evil that they were glad their
mother was dead. They quarreled
until they we're tired. Then they
went to sleep.
Now the three giants were quite
different.
There was one giant who thought
he was the sun. He liked to walk
about the mountains pretending
everything that saw him blinked at
his splendor.
He had a stomach like barrel
and no hair at all His big hands
hung almost to the ground. He
picked up every shiny stone he saw
and hung it around his neck.
Then there was the giant who
wanted to build a wall as high as
the sky. He spent all day in the
mountains. pushing rocks loose and
rolling them down into the valleys.
He always meant to build the wall,

WITH THE GREEK ARMY
SOMEWHERE IN ALBANIA, Dec.
If you can imagine an army
fighting its way over the most
mountainous and inaccessible re-
gions Of Idaho, Wyoming and Utah
in mid-January, you will have some
idea of the epic scale of the Greek
forces advance into Albania. Here
war seems quite as fantastic and
nature almost as sublime as they
were north of the Arctic circle in
Lapland one year ago.
This is IEurope's most primitive
country. Except for the Alps and
parts of the Pyrenees, these are
the boldest mountains on this con-
tMent. The Italians have built two
long military highways through
them since I first visited Albania,
II years ago, but otherwise hun
dreds of square miles of clad
peaks and narrow valleys remain
unchanged.
Only minor portion of the fight
ing is occurring along the few roads
which exist. All the vital combat
centers are on precipitous ridges
and lofty peaks, many of which are
from 5000 to 5000 feet high. Now
they are deep with snow. magnifi-
cent in their whiteness, but swept
by bitter winds and terrible with
cold. Far below, the communica-
ton trails are alternately thick
with mush or gritted with rocks
and boulders.
Battle Doggedly Onward.
All this is what the Greeks are
fighting against even more than
against the Italians. Nevertheless,
the Greek soldiers battle doggedly

While he was gone Lynn had an
insane desire to run away down the
beach, and she hoped fervently that
Mrs. Warren would come while Nc
Nair was at his car. But she did
not.
Terry came back with the candy
and they munched on it. Lynn was
hungry. A cool breeze had sprung
up and Lynn pulled on the white
beach coat which Mrs Warren had
discarded and given to her.

let me drive you home? This is

Finally, in desperation Lynn stood

held a deep bitterness which sur
prised Terry.

enjoying herself.
Terry was famous for his small
talk and he did himself proud this
afternoon. He told Lynn he was
waiting for his father to come from
New York with the family yacht,
that his sister was blonde like Lynn,
only not so pretty. And the admira-
ton in his eyes was very comfort

slipped away. She grew nervous.
Mrs. Warren was much later than
usual. Never had Lynn stayed so
long on the beach on Thursday.

Mrs. Warren saw Mr.. McNair?

talked faster. He pretended he no.

Lynn lived. But she was extremely
vague. The sun was getting low,
casting a more golden light on the
palm trees along the boulevard.
Where could Mrs. Warren be?
Mentally, Lynn figured whether the
so cents in her bag would pay for a
taxi.
Surely Mrs. Warren would not
leave her stranded here in her bath
