MussoIini Heads
Desperate Effort
To Regain Success
By j. w. T. MASON

Reports of Mussolini's presence
in Albania suggest that the 1tal-
ians are taking preliminary action
for a new major offensive against
the Greeks to try to force peace on
Athens by their own arms instead
of having to call for active German
intervention. 1t would improve ii
Duces position at home II he could
gain a success in Albania without
German help, and at the same time
would relieve the Germans OF their
present embarrassing situation in
southeastern Europe.
There have been several recent
indications that Hitler wants to. give
Mussolini an opportunity to recover
some of his lost domestic prestige
by his own efforts. The reputation
of the Axis would suffer if Germany
were compelled to help Italy try to
conquer country as small as
Greece.
The fuehrer cannot wish this
development to occur, nor can II
Duce desire to have the world wit
ness his appealing for German as
sistance because his army is blocked
in Albania. Every consideration OF
home morale and every wish to in
fluence foreign public opinion must
cause both the dictatorS to hope a
Joint movement against little Greece
will not become necessary.
Reports from Athens the last days
have shown increasing pressure by
the Italian forces in Albania. All
these movements, however, have
been neld back by Greek resistance
or there would have been claims IN
Rome of important victories.
The Italians apparently have been
engaged in a series of advance en-
gagements, intending to feel out the
strength and disposition of the
Greeks. No large scale offensive
has yet been attempted, which
would mean continuous fighting
spread over a number of days. The
Italians seem to be waiting until
the roads are cleared of snow and
dried of slush before pressing for
ward with their major strength.

revealed in an official Greek
cOmmunique today.
The cOmmunique gave no de-
tails concerning the convoy other
than to report that the 1350-tO
Greek destroyer, Psara, had sunk
an Italian submarine which at
tempted to attack the convoy.
private advices to the United
Press yesterday said that a Brit
ish expeditionary force had ar
rived in Greece from Egypt. To-
days Greek report of convoy
in the Aegean is the second con-
vOy to be reported i'm that area
in the past few days. A British
admiralty report said that on
March 6 an Italian submarine
was sunk by British warships

Leave Unoccupied
France Americans
Told by Consulate

VICHCY, France, March 13 CUP)
The United States urged its na-l
ionals today to get out of unoccupi-
ed France as a crisis caused by food
shortages became more acute in
both the occupied and unoccupied
areas.
American consulateS circularized
all Americans by registered mail,
saying, the consulate desires to
impress once more upon American
citizens the desirability of return
ing TO the United States and the
governments concern regarding the
welfare of its nationals. 1t is once
again emphasized that neither the
government nor the state depart
ment can undertake the mainten-
ance in France of those citizens
who refuse to return to the United
States.
No reason was given for the new
appeal but 1t conceded with a SER
les of developments concerning the
food shortage, the British blockade
and American relief. The first A
merican Red Cross relief ship, Cold
Harbor, bearing milk, vitamins and
clothing for French children, was
being unloaded at Marseilles. The
government here announced at
noon it was satisfied results had
been obtained in the effort to loos-
en- the blockade. 1t recalled that
France had offered last August and
several times since to guarantee
that no food shipped into unoccupi-
ed France would reach Germany
and that Britain never had replied
directly. 1t was said that France
appreciated former United States
Ambassador William c. Bullitt's in
terVention.
Another statement said Gen. Au-
guste Nogues, resident general of
Morocco, had denied British radio
assertions that Morocco was send
ing wheat to Germany. Nogues was
said to have insisted that all wheat
sent to France SO far had remain
ed in France, and that all wheat
and cattle from Morocco had re-
manned in the unoccupied zone.

Greeks RepuIse
Furious Attacks
On Albanian Front

ATHENS, Greece, March 13. CUP)
The whole Albapian battle front,
from Lake Ohrid to the Adriatic,
has flared into action as Italy'S
spring offensive gains momentum,
with Benito Mussolini directing op-
erations from the front lines, the
Greeks reported today.
The Italians we're said to have
suffered terrific losses and to have
failed to take any ground in four
days on the offensive.
Captured blackshirts were quoted
that Mussolini planned to remain
at the front lines until Saturday
and that he was urging his gener-
ais to win a decisive victory for
his sake before his return to Rome.
1t was believed that Mussolini was
trying now to deal Greece the blow
which he had been threatening all
winter.

Hitler Promises

BERLIN, March 13 UP)-Adolf
Hitler, in a speech at Linz, Austria,
yesterday promised German victory
In the war and, after the war, "an
empire of labor, of social and COM

Germany, he said, must consoli-
date itself in the face of the
'hatred, envy and greed" of other
peoples and other states.
Paul Joseph Goebbels, propagan-
da minister, amplified Hitler's re-
marks on the postwar German
empire by saying:
This war is a decisive battle two
enemy worlds-the socialism Of a
young people as against the pluto
cracy of the old, rusticated world
Hitler and Goebbels spoke on the

of the absorption of Austria by
Germany.

Sarah didn't exactly understand
that he wasn't going to Chancellor's
with her until he mounted one of the

them. She tried to run and stop him,
but it was too late. They were riding

Sarah wore a pair of mans breeches,

her hair into a tight knot at the back

set off her figure.

Once she heard the thickets rustic.
But Cebe's hand. supporting her
shoulders, was steady, reassuring.
The red glare blotted out the moon
light. The crib and wagon were burn

gusbed into the sky. and she knew the
cabin roof had fallen.
She remembered the vast pride with
which Cebe had once looked upon the
house he had built with his own hands.
All these things were gone now.
The fury of the fire faded, and it
was safe to lift their heads again.
