Concentration of Troops In Scoplje
Claimed Im Athens
AIDING GREEK INSURGENTS
↑
Athens, Dec. 20. Allied military authorities have received highly confidential report that large numbers of Yugo-Slav troops have been concentrated in the Scoplje area of Yugo-Slavin.
An Allied diplomat said on Friday that the concentra- tion was probably connected with the Greek complaint against its Balkan neighbours before the United Nations Security Council. The confidential report said that heavy movements of ammunition trains southward through Scoplje to Devdelija immediately north of the Greck border on the Vardar River, had been noted for three weeks. It added that normal highway traffic from Scoplje to Devde. Hja had been' stopped since December 6.
The report said: "It is nation said that its Intelligence ser- mreasonable to believe that the vice had been informed that mediate support from Canada's
