It is now clear that when Italy declared war on Greece she was strong enough for an immediate offensive. Her Koritza divisións alone included 24,000 veteran Al- pinis. They were later joined by the Centaurie division of tanks and motor-cycle units a total of 25,000 picked men.

SLEPT SOUNDLY- NEAR BOMB
Ronald Wrightson, nineteen- year-old Merchant Navy cadet.. slept peacefully at his parents* home in a London district when he came home on leave,
The previous night an attempt bad been made to bomb his ship. and Ronald had been on duty at his gun station. He had travelled throughout the day and was tired,
He was not surprised when he found that his parents were out- They were not expecting him. A.A shell splinters were falling, so he broke in through a win- dow. After a meal he went to sleep.
When he got up he went to the front door and looked out on deserted street.

There was an unexploded bomb in front of the Wright son home. The district had been cleared, and the bomb was expected to explode at any minuta.
"I don't suppose I should have slept so soundly if I had known;" sald Ronald,
