Southern Albania is considered 50
far a tossup.
While the Greeks still are keep
ing the initiative, the Italians
aided by Arctic weather conditions
are reported here as putting up
their best resistance since the Greek
counter advance began.
The Fascist stand around Tepe-
leni, 80 miles southeast of Valona,
and Klisura, about II miles east Of
Tepeleni, especially has given
grounds for the belief of some here
that the Italians may succeed iii
staving off the disaster which
threatened a few weeks ago.
May Shorten Lines.
If the present fighting goes against
the Italians and Greek troops oc-
cupy Valona and Elbasani, military
experts said they expected the
Italians to make a last stand in
Central Albania on shortened line
between Tirana, the Albanian capi-
IdI, anu Ddl dDLo, Sll dGCSlC pOl "CSJ
of Tirana.
The Italian command was said to
be confident its forces would be able
to hold that line and thus would not
be obliged to face an Albanian Dun
kerque at San Giovanni di Medua,
tiny northern port.
The battle for Valona, it was be-
lieved here, will decide whether the
Italians ever again can aspire to re-
sumo the offensive.
So long as the Fascists are able to
hold the Valona -Elbasani line. it was
considered strategically possible for
them to reorganize for fresh attack
in the spring.
Would Dash Hopes.
If they are forced to withdraw on
the Tirana-Durazzo line, they could
entertain scant hope of regaining
the initiative. The problem of sup
plying the army through Durazzo,
subject to frequent air attacks,
would in itself preclude any further
large scale Italian operations, COM
petent observers said.
There was some speculation on
the possibility that the British
might eventually attempt to send
an expeditionary force to reinforce
the Greeks in Albania with the OBJ
ject of establishing a Balkan front
for the invasion of Central Europe,
similar to that carried out from
Saloniki, Greece, during the World
War.
This possibility was considered
here one of the contingencies the
German command had in mind
when 1t decided to send a powerful
army into Rumania.

United States officials asserted
that the five marines had been held

had been injured by Japanese gen.

were innocent of any wrongdoing.
The marines declared they had

japanese civilians. When the gen.

American version of the incident.
they menaced all marines present

One of the five marines was said
by American sources to have been
floored and kicked in the face by the
gendarmes.

After delivering the demands, Col
Turnage told the Japanese that
unless they were complied with he
would not consider the incident
closed but instead would carry the
matter to higher authorities. The
japanese indicated yesterday they
wished to regard the incident as
closed. Tonight. however, they re-
fused to discuss the issue
Despite the American contention
that the five marines were not to be
blamed for the affair, marine au-
thorities limited the liberty of all
marines to their own clubs and pri-
vate houses as a precaution.

Human vision is accomplished
in some mysterious way by light

O'Clock at Masonic temple.

The public is cordially invited
to attend.
Probation After DEATH" is
the subject of the LeSSon-Ser-
mon which will be read in all
Churches of Christ, Scientist,
on Sunday, April 27.
The Golden Text is: God has
both raised up the Lord, and
will also raise up us by his own
power. Il Corinthians 6: 14).
Among the citations which
comprise the LeSson-Sermon is
the following from the Bible:
Now when Jesus was risen early
the first day of the week, he
appeared first to Mary Magd-
alene, out of whom he had cast
seven devils. And she went and
told them that had been with
him, as they mourned and wept.
And they went and told it unto
the residue: neither believed
they them. Afterward he ap-
peared unto the eleven as they
sat at meat, and %upbraided
them with their unbelief and
hardness of heart, because they
had seen him after he w2s
risen. mark 1919, 10, 10, 14).
The Lesson-Sermon also in
cludes the following passage
from the Christian Science
textbook, Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures" by
Mary Baker Eddy: Jesus IN
changed physical condition after
what seemed to be death was
followed by his exaltation above
all material conditions; and this
exaltat1on explained his ascen-
sion, and revealed Enthusiastically
a probationary and progressive
state beyond the grave. Jesus
was the way; that is, he marked
the way for all men," Up. 49,.

All that night the Maays chopped into the

pistols were issued to the crews and they came up
to the Friendship which still swarmed with trium-

her with their cannon while the third vessel
pounded the mud forts ashore.
The Malays put up little fight, the loads OF

their countrymen they found little but heaps of
dead: the wounded managed to fall into the river
and drown or escape.
Later more survivors of the Friendship ar

were allowed to get away with the massacre
