STORY OF SURRENDER

"The unexpected diSlocatiOn
OF the Yugoslav front and the
rapid advance of German forces
on the MOnastir plain and our
consequent separation from the
YugOslav armies as well as the
threat to the rear of our troops
In Albania completely disar-
ranged the line of our forces
and obliged us to make vast,
hasty withdrawal.
"The rapid thrust Of German
mechanical units from Monastir
southwark and the resulting loss
of the principal route of with
drawal for the left wing of our
Albanian front obliged those
forces which did not possess
anti-tank weapons to turn off
toward the mountains, in which
withdrawal and provisioning be-
came probIematic.
FIGHTS WITH ITALIANS
THE principal body of our
Epirus forces which up to the
last moment VIGOROUSLY OPP
posed Italian forces of twice
their strength, also partook in
the general withdrawal move
ment, which was carried out in
good order despite obstinate re-
action of Italian forces, which
our troops counter-attacked sew
eraI times, even taking prisoners.
Moreover, numerous enemy
aircraft which attacked without
hindrance the w t h d wing
troops and their rear created
the most difficult conditions for
continuation of the unequal
struggle by the Greek forces on
the Italian front against the
Italian and German forces.
"As a result, on the evening
of April 90 these forces capitu-
lated to the German forces.
1T is confirmed that at the
time of their capitalization the
Italian forces had not succeeded
In entering Greek territory but
were being held by our troops

WASHINGTON, April 24.-Sec-
rotary of Treasury Morgenthau
today warned the nation that all

Morgenthau outlined before the
House ways and means committee
the principles behind the drive to
raise funds for total defense.
BOOST TAX RATES
He described the most I'M
portant features of the program
as an increase of income tax
rates, a lowering of the minimum
income subject to surtax. an in
crease in excess profits tax and
finally. new excise taxes ON a
number of commodities which are

Morgenthau urged the COM

Smart Gardeners Will Blossom Forth In New Practical Apron

Spring Is here, and the smell Of fresh each calls one gardenward with spade and trowel. New gar- dening clothes are in order. Here's practical apron that you can stitch up in no time. Trim 1t up, If you like, with bright colored appliqued figures.
 You'll need a yard of heavy blue denim, 35 inches wide. From one side cut two strips, inches wide, and seam them together into one long strip for the belt. The remain ing piece is for the apron itself.
 Use the binder gadget on your sewing machine to attach red bias binding to the bottom piece, which Is turned up 12 inches on the right side Bind the sides with bias tape and use straight stitching to divide the apron so that 1t has special pocket for garden gloves, trowel, gardening fork, pruning knife and any other pet gadgets.
 Make 6 long, narrow pocket at one side to hold 8 pair of garden shears. Then all you have to do Is to use the little gathering foot to shir the apron onto the belt strip, centering 1t to leave tie-strings at either erd. Keep right sides to- gether; turn the belt piece over; turn in one-half inch hem and stitch the whole belt firmly together. This will make good substantial belt long enough to fit any figure.
 If you applique designs on the material, use the zigzagger attach ment to your sewing machine and stitch the figures on before sewing up the apron.
