London and the result of new tao
tics.
Returning flyers reported that nu-
merous fires in various sections of
London expanded to form a gigantic
flaming sea, covered by heavy clouds
of smoke from burning oil tanks.
The Nazi flyers, these sources said,
reported that anti-aircraft batteries
in London, which fired furiously at
the beginning of the attack, seemed
to be lacking in ammunition after
the first hour of the raid.
Called Glowing Inferno.
Later waves were said to have
flown over the capital at low alti-
tudes, observing the damage in the
glowing inferno" Flyers in these
waves said hardly any shots were
fired at them.
London's fires reflected in the sky
were visible as far away as bases on
the French side of the English
Channel, it was said.
The German high command re-
ported yesterday that one Nazi sub
marine sent two enemy" ships to
the bottom and another sank two
more for an aggregate bag of $4,000
tons.

Mrs. Hyatt's Christmas prepara-
tions have been under way since
last January. About rs coverlets,
pillowcases, bureau covers and
quilts knitted and en-
broidered-are ready for wrapping.
At night Mrs. Hyatt often lies

responding with three great-grand-
children is part of her routine. OF
seven children, Mrs. Simonds is the
only one living.
Mrs. Hyatt was born in Barnes

Hardly a charity organization in

Greek
Continued From First Pagel

=
vanguards is a military secret, but
officials say the rate of the Greek
advance is increasing week by week.
So far. two of Albania's six cities
with normal populations of more
than O,000-Koritza, the country's
third largest city, and Argirocastro,
the fifth-have been taken. Each
of them has two airdromes. The
Greeks also hold Porto Edda, one of
Albania's four seaports.
One estimate several days ago
placed the cash value of captured
war materials at about $l0,000,00
This does not include the booty
taken at Argirocastro.
In the drive toward Tepeleni, IS
miles north of Argirocastro, Greek
cavalry and machine-gun and bomb
attacks from airplanes were said
to be squirting the italian retreat
Another Fascist force was said to
have dug in at Klisura Pass, just
east of Tepeleni, in a fierce fight
with Greeks trying to smash through
along the road from captured
Premet. The pass is midway along
the road that runs 20 miles through
the mountains from Premet to
Tepeleni.
Fifteen miles west of Argirocastro
another Greek column was reported
pursuing Italians up the coastal
road to Chimara, Is miles north OF
Porto Edda, which the Greeks took
last week.
Progress Toward Elbasani.
The Greek high command also re-
ported rapid progress for Greek
drives toward the mid-Albanian base
of Elbasani from Pogradetz, across
Lake Ocfrida from Yugoslavia.
dispatches from the Yugoslav
side of the border said last night
the Greeks had captured noun
tain positions near the village Of
Radokal, nearly 10 miles north
of Pogradetz, and cleared the way
for a blow at nearby Lin on the
Pogradetz-Elbasani road0
Dispatches from the front re-
ported the capture of uncounted ad-
ditional prisoners and the seizure of
vast quantities of supplies which the
Italians were said to have abandoned
because of the spread of the Greek
advances.
Air reconnaissance reports said
north and south of the battlefront
roads were jammed. To the south,
Greek reinforcements being moved
up were said to be passing streams
of italian prisoners plodding to in
ternment In the country their army
invaded six weeks ago today.
Refugees Impede Troops.
r. A. F. reports said the north
Italian troop movements were i'm
peded by the jam of refugees toward
Tirana, the Albanian capital.
These British reports said last
night that Greek naval units last
Friday captured an Italian de-
stroyer left, damaged by British
bombs, in the harbor at Porto Edda.
At home, Greeks hailed the news
