a sort of wise, with the Italians at the
fore and the Germans at their back.
The Greeks, British and Turks in turn,
are making preparations to thwart the
German design. The Greeks
Greeks were reported moving civil
Ready ians from Eastern Macedonia
and Thrace, the part of
Greece lying between the Germans and
the Aegean, and bolstering with troops
and artillery their positions along the
narrow detiles of the Struma River,
which might be the setting for a battle
over the road to Salonika. The Greeks
are said to have six divisions in the
region of Thrace, and the British re-
portedly have armed these divisions in
part with munitions and tools of war
captured from the Italians in Africa.
Anthony Eden, British Foreign Secre-
tary, and Gen. Sir John Dill, chief of the
imperial army staff, completed talks with
Greek leaders at Athens on the defense
Of Greece from the expected German
attack. sThe R. A. F.. was reported in
Sofia to be photographing the Southern
Bulgarian countryside. Virginio Gayda,
the italian editor, reported that the
British had landed an almost complete
Canadian division in Salonika, although
the British themselves were silent about
their troop movements.
Britain was reported to be rushing
spare war equipment to Turkey whose
government mined the Dardanelles, while
Turkeys controlled press warned Hitler
that 100000 Turkish bayonets" are
ready. The prospect of a consolidated
Turco-Greco action against the Ger
mans seemed unlikely at the weeks end,
because the extreme irregularity of the
Greek terrain between the Struma and
the Turkish border of Greece led au-
thorities to conjecture that the Greeks
would not try to defend that sector If
the Turks act as they have spoken, they
will go to war when Germany moves
Jointly and cooperating with Greece,
but. for geographical reasons, not side
by side with Greece.
The foundations for these military
preparations were diplomatic moves. The
Vienna pact of March l between Ger
many and Bulgaria presaged the Bull
garian occupation by Germany. The

Germany last week. having CONSOLE
dated her diplomatic conquest of Bull
garia. sent II divisions, 10000 men, to
the Rhodope Mountains of Southern
Bulgaria, along the Greek border, from
where the soldiers could look across a
narrow stretch of Greece and see the

kitchens, supply trucks and oil tank cars

less than 100 miles from the Dardanelles,
one of history's most famous straits and
key for many years to Russian foreign
policy. Russia, whose exact relations
with Germany grew more unintelligible
than ever last week, has never per-
mitted, without a fight, threat by
third power at the Dardanelles.
The two most obvious targets for a
German thrust from Bulgaria are the
Dardanelles to the east and the bustling
cosmopolitan seaport of Salonika to the
south, in Greece. For Germany to gain
control of the Dardanelles would prac-
tically eliminate any further threat to
Germany from Turkey. would make Ger

African Front

The British success in Italian Africa
went forward last week on two general
fronts. BY the. weeks end the British
had made rapid progress to Fer-Fer in
the Somaliland- Ethiopian frontier re-
gion, and a slower advance to a point
east of Amanit on the Gondar road north
of the rather large lake of Gondar. which
is plainly to be seen on almost any map
of Ethiopia.
The week began with a notable East
African triumph for the British forces,
with the occupation of Villagio Duca
Degli Abruzzi (the village of the Duke Of
the AbruzzD, which is 80 miles north
of Mogadiscio. From the north at the
same time the British we're engaged in
a drive toward Cheren, Italian Eritrea,
with the support of r. A F. bomber at
tacks. Cheren is mountain stronghold
guarding the way toward Asmara,
Eritrea's capital, and the Red Sea coast.
The fighting was fierce AS the column
of troops north of Cheren and another
in the mountains west of
Allied the vigorously defended
Triumehs town put on pressure
from two sides, the Free
French" headquarters in London an
nounced another African triumph for
troops devoted to the British cause. Free
French" troops from Chad and the
Cameroons captured Cufra in the Libyan
desert, and were said to have taken
1000 prisoners. The Cufra region con-
sists of a group of oases in an area
in Southeastern Libya roughly the size
of Ohio.
Observers in Cairo said Mussolini's
Italian empire in Africa was on the
verge of tottering. with Eastern Libya
almost wholly in British hands. with
British African forces claiming control
of italian Somaliland and with the Brit
ish nutcracker operation being applied
to Cheren.
In the Mediterranean Sea along
Africa's north the British are getting
ready for the greater activity which the
nearness of spring suggests is coming.

On Tuesday the Soviet Union rebuked
Bulgaria for reaching her agreement with

a mystery. But it is an interesting con-
