NO RASH ADVENTURES

BRITAIN RELYING OK MILITARY ADVISERS LONDON, September 20. ((Received September 21, at 1.50 p.m.) Mr Chamberlain said the achievements against the submarine campaign after a fortnight of war exceeded anything the British Navy had accomplished, even over much longer periods in the last war. Concluding, he said: “I want my final word to be one of warning. We, as the Government, will not be rushed into courses which the military advisers, with whom we work in the closest possible contact and mutual confidence, do not approve. There is no sacrifice from which wo will shrink. There is no operation we will .undertake unless our responsible advisers, our allies, and wo ourselves are convinced that it will make an appreciable contribution to victory, but we will not rush into adventures offering little chance of success and calculated to impair resources and postpone ultimate victory. Military history teaches that that leads to disaster.” ALBANIAM-GREEK BORDER ITALIAN TROOPS WITHDRAWN ROME, September 20. (Received September 21, at 10 a.m.). It is officially stated that Italian troops have been withdrawn from the Albanian-Greek border, providing evidence of “ complete reciprocal trust.” EXCELLENT RELATIONS ATHENS, September 20.
