GERMAN STRATEGY IN THE BALKAN CAMPAIGN
"In Greece we were hopelessly outnumbered in tanks and hopelessly outnumbered in the air and also, until the later stages, our troops were left without any fighter sup- port whatever," said CAPTAIN CYRIL FALLS, military correspondent of THE TIMES, when he broadcast from London yesterday on the lessons to be learned from the German strategy in the Balkan campaign.
"I may, perhaps, begin "Please don't think I am indulging this talk today by admitting a lot of wishful thinking again. that I have often come to the Personally, I don't think there will be a respite of any kind as the microphone to talk to you in

KWAN CHAP HANDICAP (THIRD SECTION) This is a very poor class of race horses and in reviewing the handi- cap weights, it appears to me that National Triumph should just about get the better of Eagle with The Mermaid as may choice for third place. Cloudy Star is about the only one that may cause a minor upset and snatch a place.
NAM WAN HANDICAP This six furlong sprint should see a good tussle, between Lovely Star and Portrush, but in view of the 24 lbs difference in weight it is quite on the cards that Portrush will reach the finish line first. West Lake should be able to hold on to third place against Royal Highness and King's Worthy, the remaining two entrants in this
race.
