Differing Figures

The Germans and the Italians are unable to agree on the mumm- her of Greek troops that have sur - renderci.

'I'he German News Agency,

which says that the armistice

rame into force at six o'clock last evening, says it was signed near Salonka, and adds: It is estimat ed that between ten and twelve Greek divisions have surrendered. The Italian Agency says the surrendered forces number be tween sixteen and eighteen divi- the greater part of the Greek Army.

Vichy Estimate

In London, it is stated that au- thentic figures of the extent of the capitulation are not yet forthcom- ing. The military commontator of the official Vichy news service says that 100,000 Greeks have surren- dered, including the troops engag- ed on the Albanian frontier since December.

This, suys the commentator, ac- counts for the greater part of Gen- eral Papagos' forces and leaves only a few Greek units in line co- operating with the British forces. He thinks that the surrender lays open an area bounded by the Pin- dus Mountains, the Gulf of Pa- tras and the Ionian Sea. Reu- ter.

WED-LEFT HIM NEXT DAY

A husband whose wife left him the morning after the marriage in July, 1936, was granted a de- cree nisi on the ground of deser- tion by Mr. Justice Henn Collins in the Divorce Court yesterday.

Ho was Malcolm Finlayson MacFadyen, of York Road, Ilford, Essex. His wife, Anne did not contest the suit.

According to Mr. MacFadyen's case he was a barman when the marriage took place, and his wife a barmaid. They spent the night together and next morning he took her to her work, but had not seen her since.
