other planes fetched load after load
of troops.
1t was evident the line could not
long be held by the AnZacs despite
its natural strength. German forces
were massing at different surround
ing points IN heavy numbers. 1t
was reported on the night of April
% that 450 troop-carrying vehicles
were moving against the Anzac line,
apparently aiming TO attack it on
the west flank. 1t was also disCov-
cred that German troops had landed
on the northern coast of Euvoia
Island, presenting a threat from a
different point.
The imperial forces began to
withdraw on April %. 1t was
planned that the brigade holding
Bralos Pass should move back on
April "a, followed by covering
force commanded by an English
brigadier. l do not know how far
these moves were carried out ac-
cording TO plan, as communications
we're difficult in the mountains. II
will be many weeks before the full
story of the Greek campaign cen be
told. But one thing shines through
the fog of uncertainty which at
present cloakS it. The AnZacS have
never fought harder fight or met
defeat with greater honor.

massing in Bulgaria, but they felt
reasonably confident that the Anzac
and Anglo Greek forces already in
Greece could hold the enemy while
reinforcements crossed the Medi-
terranean.
Two Australian infantry brigades
were holding a central position in
the line north of the Haliakmon
River when the Germans attacked
Greece on April 6 The New zea-
landers were stretched out toward
the coast on the right; the Greeks
were holding the line in the noun
tainS on the left The natural
strength of the positions was ire
mendous, but the Allied forces
seemed dangerously thin.
The prospect became disquieting
when it was learned that no sub
stantial reinforcements were on their
way to Greece from Egypt Little
news reached us in the mountains
We heard the Greeks were falling
back in the north. This had been
anticipated and caused no dismay
However, the knowledge that the
Yugoslavs had failed to hold out
and had allowed the Germans TO
enter Monastir Gap was more dis
turbing. 1t meant that the Ger
mans probably could cut off the
Greek Army in Albania and might
even outf1ank the Australian-New
Zealand -English-G Greek line based
on Mount Olympus.
Withdrew to New Line.
I discussed the general position
with one of the most responsible
Australian commanders on April II
and asked him how he regarded the
prospects. He said, "Oh, all right,
but you like to see a man or two
about and some equipment" His dry
comment typlfied what many other
observers were thinking.
That was the day on which plans
for the first withdrawal were being
carried out Engineers were pre-
pairing to blow up roads and bridges
and units were packing up for a
backward move. Withdrawal to a
new line south of the Haliakmon
River was made the same night
1t was successful, considering the
difficulties. One Australian brigade
had heavy fighting and New Zealand
units were also in the thick of it.
German armored forces were used
against the Anzacs, though not
extensively German tanks also
assailed the Greeks on the left. 1t
was reckoned that at this stage the
Germans were using two armored
divisions in addition to motorized
infantry against the Allied line.
The Allies only armored force was
a single English brigade The Nazis
had not thus far shown their air
strength over the front line, although
they had carried out series of heavy
raids on the Greek ports, including
Piraeus. Our troops saw the first
dive bombers in large numbers on
April 13. 1t was the beginning of
an air blitzkrieg which grew daily
more intense, until a journey of even
a few miles on the road between
Athens and the front line became a
perilous adventure.
We saw some R. A. F. planes before

BERLIN, April 80 CP).-Germany
claimed today destruction of At
enemy planes in the past two days
and told of a destructive harasSing
aerial sweep reaching over Malta in
the Mediterranean and England and
her shipping lanes.
Acknowledging loss of only six
German planes in that period, the
supreme command and other Ger
man sources reported a new over
night bombardment of the South
western England naval base of Ply
mouth as well as industrial plants,
barbors and airports on the SOUTH
east coast.
The r. A. F. dropped fire and
explosive bombs on the university
town of Heidelberg, on the Rhine,
last night, it was reported.
Heidelberg is about 10 miles
from Mannheim, armaments CEN

1900 New Housing
Unit AIIocations
Slated Next Week
Palmer DiscIoses Plan
After Conference
With President

Charles F. Palmer, co-ordinator
of national defense housing, told
White House reporters after con-
ference with President Roosevelt to-
day that allocations for $4,000 new
housing units will be made by the
Federal Government early next week
Legislation authorizing an addi-
tional $l50,000,000 for emergency
housing was signed by President
Roosevelt last night, with today's
consultation being the first step in
undertaking the supplemental pro-
gram. The added appropriation will
make possible the construction OF
approximately 5000 home units. in
Guiding the $4,000 to be allocated
next week.
Mr.. Palmer said 77,000 units now
are under construction, at a total
final cost of $293 100000 The hous-
ing agencies still have approximately
S34 100000 of unallocated funds
from their earlier appropriations, a
sum which will be allotted soon.
Mr.. Palmar said the new defense
homes are being complete at rate
of about 1000 per week.
After conferring with Mr.. Palmer,
President Roosevelt turned today to
the even more pressing problem of
speeding merchant shipping into
British service.
Called into consultation on this
matter were Chairman Emory S
Land of the Maritime Commission
and Harry l.. Hopkins, director of
the lease-lend program. The Mari
time Commission already is super
vising two emergency ship building
programs and also is directing the
reconditioning of Older vessels which
might be transferred to emergency
service.

Farley in Haiti Rejects
Caribbean Union Plan
Nv The Associated Press.

NV lnt ASSoclateu FreSb.
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, April
30.-Supporting the viewpoint of
the United States, the Third Con-
ference of Caribbean States yester-
day refused to adopt proposed
statutes to set up regional union.
A suggestion by Isidro Fabela,
Mexican delegate, that the Carib-
bean nations might form regional
union of their own if the United
States refused support was followed
by a conference vote to refer the
question of statutes to the respec-
tive governments until the 1912
conference in Mexico City.
The United States opposed the
statutes, but Secretary Hull in
Washington Monday emphasized
American willingness to refer all
problems affecting two or more
Western Hemisphere republics to
the Pan-American Union.
John Campbell White, American
observer, did not vote on the stat
utes question, but delegates of El
Salvador, Costa Rica, Nicaragua,
Guatemala, Colombia and Hon
duras balloted against consideration
at this time. This was sufficient
to kill the issue for this conference.

Four-Hour Assault
Made by kazis on
Plymouth Again
London Expresses Fear
Thot Large Number
Of Persons Died
BY the Associated Press.

HS lIle hSSuCldltu fIcSS
LONDON. April 30.-What re-
mains of once fourishing Plymouth
was the target of Nazi raiders in a
blistering four hour assault again
last night-the fifth in eight nights
which German planes have swarmed
over the Channel portland the gov
eminent expressed fear that "a large
number of persons may have been
killed.
Eight of the raiders were claimed
by the British, however, as downed
in overnight attacks on Britain-at
least five of them over Plymouth.
Authoritative reports listed five shot
down by anti-aircraft guns and
three by night fighting planes.
Poor visibility hampered the Nazi
bombardierS in finding particular
targets and, as a result, many bombs
fell in areas already wrecked in
earlier raids. Among buildings badly
damaged was home for the aged.
Virginia born Lady Nancy Astor
sent this message to Lord Woolton,
Minister of Food:
Speaking as Lord Mayor of Ply
mouth, the worst blitzed town in
England, I want to thank you for
the help your ministry has given.
1t has been magnificent and l am
most grateful to you"
The Food Ministry has sent fly
ing food conveys" to feed people in
some of the hardest hit areas
A British communique said flights
of Nazi bombers also dropped eX-
plosives at scattered points in South
west and Southern England, East
Anglia and South Wales. In South
Wales, there were number of cas-
ualtieS, and some persons were
killed.
r. A. F. night fighters were cred
tied with destroying three German
bombers during the night. Two of
the raiders were shot down over
England, and the third was sent
crashing as it was about to land at
its base in Northern France, the
Air Ministry said
