Greeks Fight Way
With Bayonets
Into Albania City

STRUGA, Jugoslavia, Dec. 10
(UP)-A message to the frontier
today said that Greek advance units
had fougth their way with bayo-
nets into one part of Tepelini while
another column repeatedly occupied
the coastal town of Chimara, on the
road to Valona.
The reports said the Greeks drove
into Chimara- after a battle on the
heights which surround the coastal
village and brief hand-to-hand
battle in the streets of the town.
Chimara is about 25 miles south Of
Valona on the old mule track which
follows the Adriatic coast and along
which Italian forces driven from
Porto Edda have been retreating
The Tepelini battle was described
as terrific. This town lies due
north Of Argyrokastron on the route
toward the important central Al
banian town of Berat.
Greek advance guards were said to
be fortifying themselves in Tepelini
and awaiting the entrance of the
main forces.

Greek mountain artillery was re-

These are the main Italian strong
holds IN southeast Albania. Tepe-
lini dominates the road. leading
west to. Valone and the coast. Xii
sura, eight miles east, is on the
road running north to Berat
(Reports at Struga, Jugoslav bor-
der town, said the Greek left wing
in that sector had cut the Tepelini-
Valona road. The Greeks were
said to have occupied Dukaj four
miles northwest of Tepelini on the
road to Valona, then to have ad-
vanced along the road to take Sal
ari after furious fighting. Another
Greek force was said to have reach
ed the outskirts of Telepini, where
it was thrown back by an Italian
counter attack Sunday morning
Latest reports at Struga said the
Greeks were on mile from Tepelini
awaiting reinforcements for an
other attack, and that they were
within a mile and a half of Klisura
where alternating attacks and coun-
-ter-attacks were made Sunday0
In the south coast sector the
Greeks were still advancing in the

Dismissal of Pierre Laval from

AT the same time, relations between
France and Great Britain ought

Changes of foreign ministers in
any European government always

Pierre Flandin will have his own

iprolongation of discussion and post

Laval was bittery antagonistic to
Great Britain. believing that the
British governments rejection OF
his idea for amity with Italy at
the time of Mussolini's invasion OF
AbySsinia was major cause of the
present war. Had he been given a
free hand in deciding Frances

Germany'S side.
Fllandin wants better relations

Laval'S personal resentments against
the British and before the war he
did not antagonize the Anglo French
entente. He is more amenable than
Laval to cooperate with Marshal
Petain because he is not the dictator

1t would seem that Petain is
developing political strategy based
on holding off the Nazi peace Of

commander he knows that the ulti-

When France surrendered la S t

leaders as if Great Britain, too.

now be changed in Vichy at least

How Greeks Storm

SIDE TELEPINI, Dec. 15.-De-
Notwithstanding one of the
worst blizzards 1 ever saw, watch
ed Greek troops converge today on
the outskirts of Tepelini and at
tack fiercely resisting Italian out
posts.
Frontier reports from Struga,
Jugoslavia, today said Greek troops
forced their way into Tepelini0
The Italians had withdrawn to
the outskirts OF the town and it
was apparent that they were pre-
pairing to resist the Greeks in a
battle from street-to-street n d
house o-house.
Greek and italian artillery fought
a duel-a blind duel because neither
side could see where their shells
were landing because of swirling
snow clouds that reduced visibility
to a few yards.
Once the Greeks have taken Tepe-
lini and Klisura the roads to Berat
and Valona will lie open before
them. These roads are good mill
tary highways. They were bull
by the Italians before and sine;

The road down the Viosa rive
