ITALIANS RETREAT TOWARDS ALBANIAN
COASTLINE
THE ITALIANS ARE BEING DRIVEN BACK TOWARDS THE SEA AND NOT TO FURTHER LINES INLAND, ACCORDING TO INDICATIONS GIVEN BY LATEST REPORTS FROM THE FRONT RECEIVED IN ATHENS LAST NIGHT.
The Italian retreat appears to be facing a general westwards direction and this is re- garded by informed military observers in Athens as far more important than the cap- ture of individual small towns and villages.
Most of the towns occupied by the Greeks so far have been theirs before the troops actually invested them. Hench the importance of the Greek thrust up the Viosa Valley beyond Premeti along the road to Klisura.
The Italians are retiring as them to the source of the Skumbi rapidly as possible on Chimara, River. a port on the Albanian const some 30 miles north of Santi Quaranta.
Vigorous fighting by infantry and artillery has taken place in the past 48 hours in the neigh bourhood of Argyrokastron.
The British and Greek ́air forces have been participating actively, bombing enemy con- centrations, mechanised : CO- lumns, barracks and encamp. ments.

This, together with moves to the west and north-west from the region of Moshkopolis, is keeping the entire left wing with- out rest, but reserves of willing- ness on the part of the troops seem boundless. They have com- plete faith in their cause.-Reuter.
