that Greek troops holding the. Italian
Offensive on their northern frontier
had taken 800 Italian prisoners.
\ Italy's war machfue, operating in
the mountains lees than 100 miles
northwest of this strategic city, was
reported here to have been held by
the stout defense of the creek Greek
Evxone troops. _
Taking advantage of the lack of
Italian air activity, Greek military
authorities mobilized every vehicle
with wheels and rushed soldiers and
material to tha front in a manner
reminiscent of the Paris
army of 1914.
The first Greek soldiers wounded
in the early action have begun to
arrive at the baae hospitals here, but
the defenders' thus far are
considered surprisingly 'few.

Here in Salonika, the people alter
nately watched the sea, hoping for
the-approach of British warship*, and

Italian bombers. The public is calm

coming and going of military vehi
