Mystery Forces

Bv CLINTON B. CONGER

ROME, Sept. 30. (UP)-A mys-
terry army called the allied Land
Forces of the Adriatic" is waging a
mystery campaign which may go
far toward breaking the already
weakened Nazi grip en- Albania and
YugOSlavia
The strength, composition and
designs of the army are secrets the
Germans would like to know. The
Allies are leaving to the enemy the
task of finding out those things, and
consequently are saying nothing of
the invasion across the AdriatiC by
sea and air, announced two days
ago.
(The British radio quoted Ankara
and Sofia adviCes as reporting new
Allied landings in Albania and
Greece. 1t said the locality of Berat
south of Tirana, the Albanian capi-
tai, is in Allied hands, and para
chutists dropped at various places
in Greece
A fortnight ago I landed with
British CommandoS-a unit of the
an island. Now
am permitted to report in general
terms something of what operations
in Albania and Yugoslavia are like.
ALTA is the title of the command
which, with the Balkan air force,
directs tally based operations
against the NaZis in YugoSlavia, AL
bania and Greece.
1t does not indicate any estab-
lished body of troops, but may COM
prise anything from a handful of
British CommandoS or line regi-
ments trained in amphibious oper-
aticns-now reinforced by British
air-borne units--to divisions, corps
or even an army, if higher head
quarters should so direct.
Also operating under ALTA is the
hush hush Americana British special
Balkan service. Originally it did the
secret agent type of work in the
Balkans. Now it has grown into a
fighting arm as well, which accom-
panies the Commandcs or para
troopers.
