GREEK GUERRILLAS
BLOWS AT COMMUNICATIONS Eec. 9 a.m. LONDON, Sept. 1. Operating in close liaison with the Allied High Command, Greek guerrillas destroying Axis communications recently captured a key pass in the Pindus Mountains, says the Istanbul correspondent of the Associated Press of Great Britain. Nearly 5000 Greeks are fighting in specially formed companies, and 100,000 others are ready to join them immediately they' receive arms from the Allies.
The Italian withdrawal from some areas of Greece and the German concentration on strategic districts have virtually liberated considerable portions of inner Greece. The Greeks in some places have even elected town councils and mayors and are living without Axis • interference. The guerrilla actiyities are keeping the vital Athens-Salonika railway constantly broken. Patriots are destroying bridges and tunnels immediately the Germans repair them.
