stances rationalizing their fate
From tre comparatively quiet, or
derly life of Bordeaux. I went by
train. by bicycle. and on foot al
most to Marseille and returned
through the heart of the unoccupied
zone
Amazingly enormous crowds are
fleeing the occupied region. Leaving
Bordeaux on an overcrowded third
class train. many rode on the steps,
even on the couplers. in the er-
roneous belief that Paris and the
northern departments of France
were more easily attainable via
Vichy.
Tiny babies, the aged. and the
crippled often were packed in cars
for IA hours at a stretch without
relaxation and without food ex-
cept for slim meals cf sandwiches
and conserves.
Crossing the elevated part OF
France known as the "massif CEN
trail" the engineer cut Off the
power at every hilltop and coasted
down to conserve fuel. The trains
/ boarded were conducto-less so
that the trip seemed as limitless
as on the New York subway.
No papers were required in the
zone occupied by the German troops
and passage from there into the
unoccupied region was unnoticeable.
The hopefulness of the passen-
gers was apparently justified upon
arrival at Vichy. where the pres
ence of the new French government
falsely indicated escape from the
rigors of being refugees.
The real situation is more ap-
parent at Clermont -Ferrand, where
the backwash Of refugees reaches
its high tide There extemporaneous
political forums operate night ano
day in all quarters Of the town.
The favorite rendezvous are the
restaurants where ten francs buys
five radishes, soup and bread
and the privilege to sit down In
definitely and discuss the pressing
problems of the town.
For meal times at noon and
o. m. sharp. seats are reserved

centers. The rooms are over-crowd'
ed. but bedding on straw is possible
in barns and garages for soldiers
and destitute civilians.

back from the Porto Edda sector.
One report said that the Greek
attack today was rapidly reducing
the Argyrokastron salient and that
the italians, withdrawing from the
town, had left only rear guard tc
hold off the Greek attack.
The main italian force is now
based on Tepelini, it was stated, and
Greek bombers are persistently at
tacking that base.
(The Greek radio was heard in
Budapest broadcasting that Italians
were withdrawing from Porto Edda
to Khimara, 20 miles up the old
coast road, and from Kilisiri, eight
miles northwest of Premedi, to Tel
epini, 18 miles west of Premedi. The
broadcaster said two Italian Bersa-
glieri regiments, sent in to rein
force the ArgyrokaStron sector, had
been disrupted" with the loss of
many guns and much equipment }

been captured with all their equip
ment in the Argyrokastron sector,

pected momentarily)
Reports reaching the Jugoslav
frontier said that Greek troops had
captured Porto Edda, main Italian
coastal base in south Albania, at

ported Greek troops in the outskirts

Greeks EncircIe
Fascist Troops

ATHENS, Dec. S. (UP) - Greek
armies battled to encircle the en-

while Greek dive bombing planes
hammered at italian communica-
tions in an effort to prevent stab
ilization of new enemy defense
| line.
A government spokesman said that
Italian barracks at Tepelini-noW
the main Italian base in the eX-
treme south-had been hit by Greek
dive bombers.
The barracks was said to be crowd

ed to the front in an effort to stem
the Greek advance that previously
had resulted in occupation of Pre-
nett, and carried Greek troops tc
the outskirts of Porto Edda ano
within few miles of Argyrokastron.
The Greek bombing attacks also
were said to have disorganized Ital-
ian communications. The only usable
bridge across the Biousa river was
bombed, the spokesman said.

isolated italian units now are COW
ering an Italian retreat on the en-
tire coastal or south front while the
18th Italian army corps is taking
up new defense line running par
allel to the mountain range between
Chimara, on the coast, and Tepelini.
The italian advance positions on
the coast were said to be at Fort
Palermo, near Chimara. The Greek
strategy appeared to be to thrust
through the mountains from the
Premeti sector in an effort to take
Tepelini and reach the coast in
time to cut off italian forces falling
