LONDON, April "a. CUP)-Brit-
ish troops ARE in their defensive
positions in Greece" it was said
authoritatively today in answer to
Nazi statements that British Greek
resistance had all but collapsed.
1t was said specifically that re-
ports that the British left flank
had been either turned or pierced
were untrue.
Ipformants said also that they
doubted reports that the Germans
had occupied the Greek island of
Lemnos, dominating the western
entrance to the Dardanelles.
Difficult as the situation admit
tedly was in Greece, authoritative
statements indicated that NaZi re-
ports had been greatly exaggerated.
Australian, New Zealand and
British troops We're reported fighting
hand to hand with the Germans in
a stubborn attempt to maintain
their shrinking line intact.
Dispatches indicated that only a
few Greek divisions remained on
the allied front and thus the Brit
ish Imperial troops were fighting
almost alone.

Mason Believes
Evacuation Of BEF
May Be Successful
BY j. w. T. MASON
United Press War Expert

Indications from the Greek battle
front Thursday that the British
are holding new defensive positions
along a shorter line imply that
evacuation from rear coastal points
may be in process of successful ac-
complishment. A short line, even
without great depth, might be held
Tor several days, especially if the
Germans divert considerable
number of their planes from the
fighting front to search for Anglo
Greek evacuation craft.
If the new defensive positions
west of Athens can withstand Ger
man pressure for the next few
day, it is possible that more Greek
and British troops might get away
than the original number of the
British expeditionary force that
landed in Greece.
Should that be the eventual out
come of the fighting, General Wa
veil will recover more than his
Greek investment in man power
and the Greeks can continue tO
battle the Germans in north Africa
Such an eventuality, however, re-
qulres more powerful allied rear
guard resistance III the final phase
OF the Greek struggle than during
the earlier retirementS.
The evacuation from Dunkirk
continued for nine days, during
which time 3350O0 British and
French soldiers were rescued. The
maximum number taken off in one
right is understood to have been
about 66O0O.
The removals were limited to the
peach between Dunkirk and La
Fame, less than 10 miles. The
number of craft, Of all kinds used,
is not accurately known but prob
ably was about 1000 or a few more.
Conditions for evacuating allied
troops from Greece are better in
some ways than at Dunkirk. There
are more places for embarking and
the German troops, for the pres
ent, are being held at more distant
positions.
On the other hand, German avia-
tors have gained in experience since
Dunkirk. They are the principal OBJ
stacles to evacuation which the
Anglo-Greek must face.
