GREEKS SMASH COUNTER-ATTACKS
(From Reuter's Special Correspondent in Greece)
THE GREEK ARMY CONTINUES TO RE- TAIN THE INITIATIVE; ALL ALONG THE 80-
·MILE BATTLE FRONT IT IS FIGHTING SUC- CESSFULLY AND ALL ITALIAN COUNTER- ATTACKS HAVE BEEN REPULSED.
The left wing of the Greek army, accord- ing to the Greek spokesman in Athens last night, is continuing its advance towards Chi- mara, coastal town on the Adriatic, 20 miles`· north of Santi Quaranta.
Further to the right the Italians at some places put up very stiff resistance before they were fin- nlly dislodgd from their positions with heavy losses.
The Kalians employed crack Alpine corps in keen fighting in the coastal sector around Tepelini, where a colonel is understood to
have been killed and many of his
men taken prisoner.
Greek troops, taking advantage of the Italian retreat from Argy rokastron, have advanced along the hills bordering the Drinos. Val- ley and are now approaching Tepelini,
