Tension in other countries of the Balkans slackened off to a considerable degree today, as it was announced that “back . to normalcy” status had been or- dered for Bulgaria. No more blackouts would be held through- out that country, it was stated, and demilitarization of much of the army would follow in the wake of the belief that the axis- powers would not force agree- ment claims at this time. Reports reaching London today told of an important naval en- gagement in the far-end of the Meditterranean Sea. Two British patrol ships, of destroyer type, sighted a larger Italian naval unit, and firing, at long distance, followed. The meager reports stated the Italians turned. and fled as soon as firing started, and ‘succeeded in outdistancing the British ships. Rome dispatches stated . Mus- solini had: issued orders fot <an increased aerial gampaign in Al- bania, believed to be the fore- runner of a_ definite reinforce- ment maneuver to bolster Italian lines in the fight against Greece. The Battle of Britain slacken- ed off considerably last night and this morning, with unfavorable weather the controlling factor. Only reconnaisance planes were heard over London and other cities last night, and no bombs were dropped. Royal Air Force action against Germany, likewise held doWu by the weather, consiSted of similar flights over Nazi-land and France. L. P. ARTMAN RETURNS HERE L. P.
