ITALY, GREECE NOW AT WAR Appeal Made To Britain
Italy and Greece are now at war. The Greeks are defending their frontler against an attack by Italian troops in Albania and Italian planes have bombed a civil nerodrome and other objectives In Greece.
War between the two countries became inevitable yesterday morning when, at 3 a.m., the Italian Minister in Athens personally delivered to the Greek Premier, General Metaxas, a Noté accusing Greece of violating her pledge of neutrality by favouring Britain and demanding, the right to occupy certain strategle points on Greek soil for the duration of the war, :
When the Italian Minister added, in support of the Note, that if Greece did not comply the Italian troops would march at 6.m. General Metaxas replied that he must consider that sintement virtually as a declaration of war and announced that Greece would reject the ultimatum. He and the King of Greece subsequently made proclamations to the people and general, mobilisation was ordered.
An appeal for "certain assistance" was then despatched to London, where the War Cabinet promptly met.. Greece is hailed as a new ally and it is authoritatively announced that Britain will honour her pledge and give immediate aid.
Alliens, Oct. 28. The first Greek High Command communique xaya--“Italian forces attacked our covering troops an the Albanlan frontier at 5.30 a.m. Our forces are defending the soll of the Fatherland."

London, Oct. 28. It Is understood that the War Cabinet, following a Foreign Office announcement to-day that the Greek-Government-had-ap- pealed to His Majesty's Govern- ment for certain assistance in the defence of Greece against Italy, is considering the appeal and that a reply will be given with- out delay.
10
There is reason to believe that the details of the assistance to be given to Greece In the event of her being attacked had alrendy been worked out between the two governments.
The Foreign Office statement was DR follows.
"News reaching ometal circles in London to-day confirmed the report that at 3 a.m. the Italian Minister in Athens presented an ultimatum to the Greek Government expiring at 6 am. The details of the ultimatum are not yet known in London,
but 1. is understood that it demanded cession of certain strategic points.
"The ultimatum has been reject- ed by the Greek Government and the Prime Minister of Greece has told the Italian Minister that he re- deckuration gards the ultimatum as a
of war. The Greek Government has appealed to His Majesty's Gov- ernment for certain assistance."
United Press and Reuter.
Probable British Action
London, Oct. 20. Well-informed circles sald to-day that Britain's fulfilment of her guarantee to Greece was a certainty.
The The British Press, including Times, has been anticipating British occupation of Crete and other strate- gle Greek Islanda if Italy moved against Greece. This would appar- ently be a simple operation as the
said. "If the news that 'n state of war exists between Italy and Greece Is true it can only be regard- ed as wanton aggression by Italy against Greece," he said. "There is no truth whatever in the allegations put out by the Stefan! News Agency dealing with action taken by Greek troops, nor is there any truth in the news spread from Tiranu as there has been no incident at all on the Greco-Albanlan frontier."-Reuter,
