SAID TO HAVE MADE LIMITED PROGRESS f

On Parts of Greek Frontier GERMAN PROPAGANDISTS BUSY ATTEMPTS TO UNCOVER BRITISH PLANS In their attack on the Greek frontier from Albania, a 8.8. C. broadcast'reports, the Italians are said to have made an advance of six miles along the coast, but it does not appear that the main Greek defensive positions have yet been reached. Fighting along most of the front continues to be confined to skirmishes, but the Italians are reported to be developing an attack towards Florina, a town ninety miles from Salonika. Rome reports state that an offensive has been launched on the south-western section of the front. The German propaganda machine is busily engaged in endeavouring to show that the hearts of the Greek people are not in the struggle, and is endeavouring to extract information by alleging that Britain is not giving effective aid to Greece.

The Nazi assertions are'belied by every report from Greece, and Britain is developing in secrecy her plans to assist that country. It is declared that the Greek people are fully with their King in his declaration that they will fight on, whatever may befall, with full confidence in ultimate victory.
