A home correspondent says that the first Yugoslav vessel flying Marshal Tito’s flag has arrived at a British port. It is an 8200-ton merchantman which sailed originally for the Yugoslav Government in Cairo, but changed her flag at a North African port. It now flies the blue, white and red of Yugoslavia with the red star of Marshal Tito’s forces in a white field. <“ln Slovenia all enemy attempts .to keep our units off the main communication lines have failed,” says a Yugoslav communique. “During the last few weeks our troops have exercised strong pressure on the railway line between Lubljanaand have recaptured an important railway junction on the LubljanaZagreb line. • “In Croatia our troops are slowly gaining the initiative. The German offensive in Lika Province has been stopped. In eastern Bosnia all enemy operations have collapsed. After two months of fighting the Germans have lost over 3000 killed and wounded.
