The Italians are still on the run “in reverse”, and continued disorganized route, in the face of the valiant fight being staged by the inferior-number Greek army, is the talk of all Europe today. The Albanian stronghold Koritza was taken over by the Greeks this morning, when the yor of the city, together with what few residents were left aft- er the Italians vacated, came for- ward with a white flag of truce of and asked the Greek troops to take possession of the city. Italian advices this morning admitted the fall of Koritza, dis- closing further that a large num- ber of troops were slain in the battles surrounding that city The siege of this important city has proceeded for the past eleven days and its fall has been immin- ent for several days. Premier Metaxes of Greece ad- dressed wildly cheering throngs in Athens this morning, reperting the fall of Koritza. He stated that “our heroic troops have tri- umphantly” entered Koritza. The whole city joined in the cele- bration of the Greek victory; British Soldiers present being feted in grand style. Italian prisoners, held in de- tention camps outside Athens, were informed of the Greek suc- s. Some of them of anti- ist beliefs cheered the news, causing outbreaks among the men imprisoned. Further danger for the cause was announced by military heads, who claim to have cut the Italian supply lines. Premier Metaxes warned his people this morning not to be too confident of the army’s abil- ity to continue their successful driv He warned that the Ital- ians would yet deliver their most powerful blows against Greece. Observers in London were quick to point out the successful maneuvers engaged in by the Greeks—maneuvers which saw mobile units combatting tively against the axis-power form of mechanized attacks. This, Italian Greek now coastal effec- | they stated, wouid serve as a les- son to Great Britain. Meanwhile — developments in} Berlin pointed to further trouble for the Balkans, as Rumanian diplomats arrived there to con- fer on further support for the axis cause. Premier Antonescu was included in the delegation. It is felt certain that Rumania will enter into similar agreements with Germany ard Italy, the same as Hungary. Advices from Istanbul today contirued to warn the a powers from further aggression into the Balkans. The warning was believed as a_ bolstering measure for Bulgaria’s benefit— to guarantee that Turkey will fight any further spread of war in the Balkans. SAMOA PP???

Harry B. Turner, editor and publisher of the world’s largest (size of page) newspaper, The In- quirer and Mirror, of Nantucket Island, Mass., recently visited s city. While here he wrote a of articles describing the similarity between Key West and sourcefulness of Key Nantucket and forwarded them to his paper. Following is the first of the series: Just why we happened to take a trip down to the ‘southernmost tip of the United States we do not quite know. Possibly it was because we are not one of the “Florida enthusiasts”, who seem to think it the only part of the country worth visiting—that aside from Nantucket. Having seen America first and having glimpsed the wonders of the Canadian Rockies and the de- lights of all the National Parks, we determined to jump off from the tip of the Florida peninsula and see what has been done with the miles of “keys” or little is- lands stretching out many miles into the ocean—out to the little city of Key West. It was there we stood on the southern-most tip of the United States and looked across an ex- panse of ninety miles is, towards ‘club last night at the Den on' ;Seminary street, Lion Geral {Saunders presiding.
