The Athens afternoon papers announced that the Italians have left the Ostroritza mountain, west of Koritza and are forming a new line in the Tommi mountains. These mountains constitute the main protection for the Italian stronghold at Berati.

The noon-time Greek papers reported from the front that an Italian gencral has committed suicide. It is believed in Athens, though not confirmed, that it is General Visconti Brassi, who calculated that 200,000 men were sufficient to carry out the blitzkrieg against Greece.

A London report says that | according to the Athens cor- respondent of the "Exchange Telegraph," the latest reports from the front show that the Italians are now evacuating El Bassan and are also retreating from Erseka towards Berat, and from Linskoviki and Kakavin towards Delvino,

The same correspondent de clared that the Italians evacunt- ed Argyroenstro on Sunday and that Greek advance guards this morning were but a few miles from the aerodrome.
