WASHINGTON, April 23.-The
President literally peeled down TO
his shirtsleeves today and went 10
work setting up the home defense
machinery which has been kicking
around the White House ante
chambers while aid to Britain got
underway.

dental docket by New York's fire.

NOT FOR LEADING SPOT

President stated that his two-hour
chat with La Guardia had been a
continuance of previous discus
sions on aspects of home defense
with which he is we'll acquainted
and that he had not and would
not be asked to nurse the latest
defense baby.
First public attention to the ma

Greeks Collapse
Laid TO Britain
Weak Support
BY CAPT. JOHN H. CRAIGE

L. =. Marine Corps Retired
Written Especially for Init. News Service
Surrender of the gallant Greek
armmies in Epirus and Macedonia
yesterday brought to disastrous
end the combined British-Greek
campaign.
A number of British and Greek
divisions and other units are still
fighting desperately. but these ac-
tions constitute only a military
aftermath. The forces that still re-
sist are hopelessly carved up by
the slender steel fingers of Ger
man PaanZer columns. All hope OF
counter attack is gone. Only ques-
ton now is how many British and
Greek fighters can escape to safety
by sea.
With the surrender of the arm
les of western Greece, the entire
left flank OF the Greek-British po-
sition caved in. The stroke that
brought the Greek collapse was
delivered by a German armored
unit that swept from the heights
Of the southern bank of the Wis.,
triza down the valley of the Arta
River 10 Yannina, capital of
Epirus, later penetrating TO the
Greek city OF Aria close 10 the
lonIan Sea.
VETERANS CUT OFF
This drive OF so miles completely
cut off the flower of the Greek
army that had been fighting the
Italians in Albania for the past
six months. In this force I'm AL
bania there were eight out of a
total of ID of Greece's first-line di-
visions as we'll as numerous forma-
tons Of less experienced troops.
What they did 10 the Italians in
SIX months war had made history.
While the surrender of the
Greek left flank was throwing
open the entire west coast OF
Greece as far as the Gulf of
Corinth TO German penetration,
Greek and British soldiers in the
east were fighting desperate de-
laying actions as they retreated
rapidly southwark before the Ger
mans along the principal Greek
railroad and highway leading to-
wards Athens and its port al
Poraeus.
One German armored column
slicing eastward was reported to
have reached the Aegean at Volos
and another to have appeared at
the entrance of the historic pass
OF Thermopolye. where LeonidaS
and his 300 Spartans died fighting
for Greece more than 1000 years
ago.

SLICED IN THREE PARTS

SLICED IN THREE PARTS
II these reports prove true. 1t
would appear that the retreating
Allied columns have been cut into
three sections. TO be hammered TO
pulp separately in accordance with
the German arnys formula.
Meanwhile. according 10 re-
ports. King George and his cabinet
have evacuated Athens for Crete
march aboard transports under
pittiless rain of German bombs
Only question seems TO be how
many can be saved from the de-
baCle.
Fundamental cause for the
quick collapse Of the Allied cause
in Greece was the small size and
inadequate equipment of the Brit
ish Expeditionary Force. When
British troops were being landed
dispatches referred to a force of
more than 100000 men. This
would have been few enough. but
II appears that only a small frac-
ton of that number actually dis
embarked at Greek ports.
Dispatches from Turkey, a
friendly neutral country which
should have sound information
recently put the British total in
Greece as between $4,000 and
5000 men. This sounds like
sending a Singer midget 10 fight
Joe Louis. The result was a fore
gone conclusion to men of military
education everywhere.
PREDICTIONS COME TRUE
This column has the gloomy
satisfaction of having predicted
the moves Of this Balkan cam
paign almost in detail long before
action started As long ago as
February, when the tremendous
preparations being made by Ger
many in Rumania and Bulgaria
were becoming evident, il was
predicted that April, 1871 would
see the opening of drive of
gigantic proportions in the Near
East. that Yugoslavia and Greece
would be dealt with first, with
Turkey on the spot when they
we're mopped up.
Ten days ago. when British and
German forces were making first
contacts, il was stated that the
course of events would be de-
termined by the size of the
British force in Greece. and that
If les sthan 100000 had been sent
another Dunkirk would ensue.
The second Dunkirk seems TO be
here.
II Is difficult for an educated
military man to understand the
easy-going complacence of British
officialdom and public opinion in
the face of the desperate situation
that took shape in the Spring
Europe was in flames, Hitler was
building armies of million and a
half men in the Balkans. Yet all
that Britain could send 10 oppose
this horde is three or at most four
divisions.
Repercussions Of the Nazi blitz
victories in Greece and Yugoslavia
are likely to be of historic inn
portance. Many nations the world
over were wavering in the bal
ance. awaiting the result Of this
first meeting of British and Nazi
troops since the Battle of France

Assessment
 Machinery of
 (iiyExp|ained

All taxes. it has been said, are necessary forms of evil Like other truisIns, this contention has been largely over-used.
 Even were it correct in essence, it could hardly apply to municipal taxes, based upon properly levied and capitalized valuations of real and personal property.
 In order to assure property owners of such valuations each year, the municipal government provides for a re-assessment of both real and personal properties to the end that any necessary al- terations can be made in the values placed upon them the preceding year, to record changes in owner ship and to place newly constructed properties upon the assessment books which are thus kept up to date.
 The assessment date is fixed as of June l. Prior to that time all persons eligible to pay taxes will receive forms upon which to list their holdings, both real and per-. sonal, and fix their own values upon them. These forms are sup posed to be returned by mail to the City Assessor by June 1.
 The importance to the property owner of making complete return, the nature of the form itself, and the uses to which the revenues are put will be explained in several articles in the Empire of which this is the first.
