Last-Man Battle

In Konitsa

Athens, July 14:

The Greek High Command said today that an or- ganised fighting force of more than 1,000 sol- diers, including parts of an international brigade, crossed into Greece from Albania and launched a dawn attack on Konitsa, six miles from the Albanian border.

Rumours that Konitsa had been captured were

denied. Two companies of some 200 men were defending the town and official sources said they would fight to the last man.
