Through Rumour
THERE IS NO CONFIRMATION FROM THE GREEK OR BRITISH COMMANDS IN GREECE OF A RUMOUR DERIVED FROM GERMAN SOURCES THAT THE ALLIED LINE HAS BEEN BROKEN IN THE MOUNT OLYMPUS SECTOR AND THAT THE PLAIN OF LARISSA, IN CONSEQUENCE, HAS BEEN LAID OPEN TO THE GERMAN AD- VANCE, SAYS A BRITISH WAR OFFICE COMMUNIQUE.
Heavy fighting, however, is taking place in more than one sector of the Allied line, the communique adds.
Well-informed circles in Cairo stated yes. terday that operations in Greece consist main ly of "feeling forward" by the Germans, whe are endeavouring to ascertain the disposition of the British forces by means of patrols.
There are no signs yet of a major attack, it was added.
