unprepared and. therefore, now or
never can easily be destroyed -.
The year 1910 brought a decision
which, in similar extent and tempo
never before occurred in his
tory. ="
Hitler asserted that Minister
Churchill's "babbling revealed just
in the right hour" that he had de-
signs on Norway so that German
counter measures could be made
promptly.
''Lies and swindles" about the
situation in Germany, Hitler said

the war to the German border.

determination now to force a final
decision in the west" he declared.
Holland capitulated after five days
he said, the Belgian Army laid down
its arms 10 days later and but six
weeks after the western offensive
began there was no French Army
any more which would have been
able to offer any resistance"
Hitler said that If the British
contend now that France stopped
fighting unnecessarily, his retort Is
that the first to give up the battle
in the west were the British divi-
sions.
when We attacked, the British
Army had only one thought, which
was to leave the continent as fass as

and French to cover their retreat,
he asserted.

Improved Weather Aids
Greek Troops Drive

ATHENS, Dec. 81 (P.-Improved
weather conditions are speeding up
Greek advances against Italian posi-
tions in Albania, dispatches from the
front said today.
Greek artillery and aviation were
reported to be active, and in the
north sector a Greek bomber was
said to have blown up an Italian
ammunition dump and attacked
troop concentrations.
The dispatches said important
heights we're captured in the central
sector and many new prisoners
taken. Greek fighter planes were
reported to have shot down two Ital-
ian bombers, overtaken while re-
turning from raid in Greece.
The fighting in the Tepelini, Kill
sura and North Chimara sectors was
described as intensive. An observer
at the front said the battle in the
North Chimara coastal area was
lone of the major battles of the
war 1t has been going on day and
night for five days, even though
q heavy snowstorm ragged part OF
the time.
A Royal Air Force communique
said British plane shot down an
Italian seaplane in the Leskas Pre-
Vesa area.
1000 New Prisoners.
More than 1000 new prisoners,
including an entire italian battalion,
officers and all, were reported plod-
ding back to Greek concentration
camps from the Albanian battle
front, where the Greeks said strong
italian courterattacks had been
smashed
The high commands communioue
on the warfront situation late last
night declared the Greeks gained
in local successful operations"
despite recent heavy reinforcement
of the Fascists.
The Italians were said to be
fighting with renewed intensity in
an effort to regain positions wrested
from them in steady Greek ad-
vances.
The communique did not identify
the sectors where the Greeks were
reported to have gained ground or
say where the new Italian captives
were taken, along with field guns
and other equipment.
1t indicated, however, that some
of the prisoners were Alpine ski
troopers. Such troops, the high
command said, attacked Greek ad-
vance forces, but we're put to f1igth.
The troopers were said to have
kicked of their skis and scattered.
Dispatches from the front said
some Greek gains were made north
of Chimara along the coastal road
toward the Port of Valona and that
italians suffered heavy casualties
in counterattacks in the Klisura
sector, northeast of Chimara.

straight there, and when Bowser had

as fast as he could run.
no condition for a hard run and he
had no desire for one.
This particular morning Reddy
was very sleepy. He had been out
all night, his stomach was full, the
rays of jolly, round, red Mr.. Sun
were warm and comforting, and he
could think Of nothing SO good as a
nap on his special summing bank. So
he curled up there and without a
single uneasy thought he dropped
off to sleep. After little he began
to dream. At first it was a very
pleasant dream. An endless pro-
cession Of mice and chickens and
ducks and grouse were marching be-
fore him, and they were all for him
to the very last one. All he had to
do was to help himself. He was
trying to decide whether he would
begin his dinner with a fat mouse
and follow this with plump chick
en-, or begin with chicken and top
off with mouse, when he heard
faint sound and stopped to listen
while the ducks and the chickens
and the mice and the grouse con-
tinued to march past.
All this was dream, you know,
and to Reddy a very pleasant
dream, until that faint sound began
to grow louder and louder. And, as
the sound grew louder, the chickens
and ducks and the mice and the
grouse seemed to fade away. At
last not one was left, and his ears
rang with a great roaring, which
filled him with great fear. His
beautiful dream was becoming a
bad one. He wanted to run away,
but somehow he couldn't. All the
time that terrible roaring came
nearer and nearer. He gave
frightened little yelp, and then
why, then, his eyes flew wide open!
He was right on his private summing
bank. The rays of jolly, round, bright
Mr.. Sun were pouring down on him,
the blue sky was over him, and all
was as it should be, except one
thing-that dreadful roaring seemed
to have come out of his dream with
him.
For just a minute Reddy Fox
couldn't understand it. Then sud-
denly he recognized the voice of
Bowser the Hound, and he knew that
it was no dream. Bowser was on
his trail and very, very near. Spring
ing to his feet Reddy glanced hastily
behind him. Sure enough there was
Bowser and he saw Reddy. He
sprang forward and his voice seemed
to grow twice as loud. Reddy didn't
wait. He started for the Green For
est as fast as he could run. And as
he ran he muttered to himself:
