After repulsing two Italian at- tacks on the left wing and heavy |dive-bombing by Nazi Stukas, the Allies have successfully retired to their new positions in the moun- tains, manlaining an unbroken line, says an Athens cominunique. Heavy losses were inflicted upon the Italians, with the Greeks set- ting traps for the pursuing Fus- cists and taking numerous prison-
ers.
