THE FOURTH DAY OF THE BIG GREEK OFFENSIVE AGAINST THE ITALIAN CENTRE IN ALBANIA CONTINUED YESTERDAY WITH UNABATED FURY.

The Greek troops, states Athens radio, are pushing on with the utmost determination.

Two mountain ranges where the attack was launched have now been almost com- pletely cleared of Italian forces.

The Italians, who have been driven from a net- work of machine-gun posts cunningly concealed in deep cavities in the rocks, are stated to be suffering very heavy casualties, with whole detachments being wiped out.

One of the principal units defending the ap- proaches to Tepelini, key-town to Valona harbour, endured particularly severe losses.

Nearly all effectives of the 7th Black Shirt bat- talion were also killed.
