 The high command reported sink ing of @ total of 37,000 tons of enemy shipping, making a total of about 160,000 tons which the Germans have reported sunk in Greek waters in the battle to close the door on the British forces. But the high command did not mention Nazi re- ports that the British had been smashed at Thermopylae or that the Germans had broken through the last Allied lines across the isthmus leading to Athens, about 80 miles from the historic pass.

According to Plan


 The official communique merely said that movements of the army in Greece were proceeding accord ing to plan" and that 24 enemy planes had been destroyed in heavy raids on air fields in Greece.
 The pick of the German army of the Balkans had been thrown at the British army defending Thermopy- lac pass, where Kind Leonidas of Sparta and 300 men died in @ vain effort to stop the armies of xerxes of Persia in 4s0 B. c. From Ther- mopylae the road leads to Athens over ground that Is increasingly flat and favorable for operations of the Nazi Panser divisions and air force.I A railroad line also runs to the capital.
 According to the high command, the British fought at Thermopylae in an effort to protect retirement of their main forces toward Athens to board ships for evacuation to Crete or Egypt. In addition to the ships sunk, the communique said that 12 other large merchantmen had been damaged severely and that @ large warship in Suda bay had been hit and damaged.
 "The attacked ships consisted largely of transports with detach- ments of British troops fleeing from Greece aboard" 1t added.
 The surrender of the Greek armies of Epirus and Macedonia re- moved the bulk of Greek fighting strength from the battle, the Nazis said, and left the British open to flank attack.
 "The Epirus and Macedonian army. surrounded by German and Italian troops, has laid down its arms internationally" said a special communique from Hitler's field headquarters somewhere in the Bal kans. (Rome dispatches estimated the surrendered armies at about 300.000 men).

Livestock Making
Big Increase
In Montana

numbers of cattle this year, during
1912 will help achieve MontanA's
Food For Freedom marketing goal
and at the same time help conserve
the states ranges and contribute TO

Lincoln county USLA Defense
board states.
"The progress that has been made
| in the past few years toward re-
storing Montana's depleted ranges Is
now being threatened by rapidly
increasing livestock numbers B. q.
Drake explained. "At the beginning
of 1941 there were 1878 900 cattle
| in Montana as compared with IL
year average of 1859 900 head. II
the 1871 increase is as large as that
of 1899 or 1910, the cattle popula-
ton on Jan. /, 1912, will be close to
a million and half head. This, plus
an estimate of four million sheer
lin the state on Jan. /, 1912, would
bring livestock numbers dangerous
ly close to the 1884 peak"
Probably our improved ranges
permit slightly heavier stocking

of the two should come while range
