Another Important Greek Capture

LATEST BLOW to Italy's hopes of a swift advance into Greece is the capture by the Greeks of the village of Zimjal Waere, on Lake Chrid, according to information receiv- ed in Belgrade last evening from the Greek- Yugoslav frontier.

Many of the Italian soldiers captured by the Greeks, it was added, complain of having been "betrayed by the Albanians."

The claim that Greek detach- ments have attacked and occupied a height in Albanian territory was made yesterday in an official com- munique issued in Athens.

At various points the Greeks made prisoners and captured mor- tars, machine-guns and other weapons.

Six heavy Italian bombers raided Diraeus and Phaleron Bay yesterday morning. Four

raiders, none of whose bombs bit military objectives.
