military and diplomatic aides at
Florence, were expected to decide
the the type of campaign against
Greece on a day+se-day basis.
Stubborn fighting by Greek de-
tenders in the mountains facing Al
bania was reported and even the
small Greek air force challenged
italian bombing planes as they
hurled explosives at the Athens, Pa
tras and other airports and harbors.
The position of Turkey and So
Wet Russia was unclear, but Greeks
were hopeful of support. At Istan-
bull, it was officially stated that
Turkey was not yet in the war but
was ready to defend itself.
The Axis Powers struck through
Greece Tin an effort to get at the
British navy in the eastern Medi-
terranean) after charging the
Greeks with aiding British naval
operations and demanding permis-
sion to establish italian bases in
Greece. The Fascist ultimatum was
rejected and a few hours later the
war was in progress in new field.
May Be Dragged In
Jugoslavia feared she might be
dragged into the conflict, especially
in view of reported British opera
tons to move into strategic Greek
bases and possibly land troops in
Greece. Although both Jugoslavia
and Bulgaria emphasized their de-
sire to remain neutral, it was be-
lieyed at Belgrade that the Ger
mans and Italians, would demand
permission to move troops through
Jugoslavia if the British land in
Greece. Most Belgrade sources said
such Axis demands would be re-
sisted.
There also were reports, by way Of
JugoSlavia, that widespread rebel
lion had broken out in Albania, re-
sulting in clashes between italian
troops and Albanian rebels in the
mountain border near Greece. This
uprising, it was suggested, was used
by the Italians as an excuse for at
lacking Greece.
The Fascist attack was said to
have been made by land and sea as
well as by air, but details were
meagre. The main land thrust was
reported in the Camurjia district,
just south of tn Albanian frontier,
and at Konispoli, opposite the i'm
portant Greek island of Corfu.
Italian Offensive
Military experts in London be-
lieved that the Italian offensive
would be along two lines:
Against Janina and along the
coast to cut off Corfu.
&Against Koritza and Florina,
toward the vital port of salonika.
The British presumably could beat

for six hours he decided to quit.
While on Ashley street, he spot
