Greeks on Heights
Dominating Valley
Leading 10 Va|ona
Lines Are Pushed North
OF KIisuro; 200 More
Prisoners Token
B. the Associated Press.

ATHENS, Jan. Sunday Greek
mountain troops fighting off fierce
Italian counter-attacks took more
than 200 additional prisoners and
pushed their lines north of strategic
Klisura to dominating heights COM
manding the valley leading toward
Valona, Greek government spokes-
man announced early today.
The Marine Ministry also revealed
that the Greek submarine Katsonis,
operating on Italian supply lanes in
the upper Adriatic Sea between Italy
and Albania, destroyed an Italian
tanker by gunfire after two tor
perdoes had missed. The attack oc-
Cured December 81.
Not single operation under
taken by the Italians met with the
slightest success" the spokesman
said in telling of the battles in the
klisura -Tepeleni sector, where he
said the Fascists suffered heavy
losses.
Heavy Artillery support.
These counter-a attacks had been
prepared for long time and were
supported by heavy artillery fire."
the spokesman continued.
They were part of a series which
began two days ago but met the
same fate as the others. The enemy
in fact was repulsed with heavy
losses as it sought refuge in trenches
and mountain shelters.
We pushed our lines northward
and occupied heights more than 5000
feet high"
The submarine Katsonis, under
1t. Commander Spanides, sighted
the Italian tanker off Giovanni di
Medua, northern Albania port which
the FaSclsts have been using since
the R. A. F. and the Greeks began
air attacks on Valona and Durazzo

Two TorpedOes Miss Mark.
The tanker quickly changed her
course and two Greek torpedoes
missed their mark so the Greek
undersea craft rose to the surface
and used its 3.9-inch gun from a
distance of about 1900 yards. After
few rounds, the Greeks said
the tanker caught fire and was
destroyed" amid strong explosions of
fuel and munitions cargo.
Premier Gen. Metaxas expressed
to the newspaper Mkt his confidence
in a Greek victory.
He declared Greece's war aim was
to secure the independence and
integrity of our country.
Our aim is the free development
OF Greece and of her moral and
material forces-not, of course, at
the expense OF other peoples.
"We will not tolerate. either, any
peoples who covet our rights to de-
velop freely. These are the aims of
the war which we are fighting. - ="

also tackled a 10 per cent defense

Inheritance taxes might be in

Loss of life among Norwegian seamen has "been smaller dur ing NorWay's first eight months of belligerercy than during the preceding ssven months of neu- trality" Norwegian Minister of Shipping and Supply Sunde wrote in a recent issue of the New York Journal of Commerce.
 He said more than 85 percent of the Norwegian merchant fleet fourth largest in the world, es- capped from enemy control last April. He said some 873 ships totaling nearly 100000 tons are maintaining Norway's interna- tional trade, important to the British-NorWegian cause.
 He admitted that losses of ton mage have been considerable"
 Income from the merchant fleet is enabling the Norwegian government to take an active part in the fight with Britain and to maintain naval, land and air forces with expenditures more than double the former peace time military budget for all Nor way.
