DIARY OF The WAR

FRIDAY-Yugoslavia offered Hit
Ter economic and semi-military aid,
but not a right of way for Hitler's
troops to attack Greece. More British
troops arrived in Salonika. Italian re-
sistance was said to be falling apart
in Albania. Tepeleni was reported to
have fallen. Turkish forces, 100000
strong, were along Bulgaria's border.
British subs torpedoed five loaded
Fascist transports and supply ships,
and naval planes hit an Italian war
ship. Germans reported sinking of
$4,000 tons of shipping from single
British convoy. Berlin claimed the
first load from U. S. to Britain under
aid bill had been sunk. Germans
boosted that air raids to come would
be much worse than formerly.
SATURDAY-Anti-German feeling
in Yugoslavia's mixed population de-
layed any agreement with Hitler
Three ministers resigned rather than
accept the deal with Germany. Greeks
continued to try to break the last
Fascist hold on Albania British cap
tured a desert oasis, the last point of
Italian resistance in eastern Libya.
British made new advances in south
ern Ethiopia and repulsed Italian
counter-attack around Cheren in Fri
trea. Germans claimed $4,000 tons
sunk out of heavily guarded British
convoy off west African coast. British
heavily bombed German sub base at
Lorient.
SUNDAY-Yugoslavia appeared fl
nally ready to sign with Axis but
there were. signs of revolt and much
opposition to signing. Turkey was re-
ported to have offered aid to Yugo-
slavia if she resisted. 1t was reported
also that Russia had given the Turks
a free hand to aid Yugoslavia. Ger
many waged her sea war more fierce
ly and reported battleship squadron
in North Atlantic had sunk % Brit
ish ships; subs and airplanes had sunk
additional ships. Italian papers said
that Axis powers were out to over
throw American as well as British
democracy. British flyers attacked
Adds Ababa railroad in Ethiopia.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS were still
restless. Japan's foreign minister Wis
tied in Russia and was enroute to
Berlin. Italy celebrated the 22nd an
niversary of Fascism but Mussolini
did not speak. British seized Neghelli
in Ethiopia, a key town. Italy claimed

MT. LAKE PARK

That Park finance report didn't look
so bad to us. In fact it has rather "bol-
stored up" the courage of property
owners hereabouts, 1t was good re-
port. And the Maryland Chautauqua
sounds good, but so many things in
Mountain Lake have sounded that
way and finally dropped to mere
whisper that we must reserve our
criticism, until, as they say in Mis-
souri,, "Show me-"
And now comes the strangest story
of theft in the community. A radio
aerial was stolen from the cottage OF
Miss Myrtle Finnell. The radio worked
perfectly until Saturday when it was
discovered that the wire had been cut
and carried away. 1t was high in the
air and naturally the person who took
it must have been rather tall. But
the surprising thing is that the ariei
was there all winter, undisturbed, and
was stolen a few days after Miss
Finnell's return to the Park.
