ANOTHER HEIGHT

CAPTURED BY GREEKS IN ALBANIAN TERRITORY. MORE PRISONERS & GUNS TAKEN. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day. 10.5 a.m.) RUGBY, November 5. The latest Greek official communique states: “On the Macedonian front another height in Albanian territory, in addition to those already announced, has been occupied by our forces. “Following upon actions at various points on the front prisoners were captured as well as howitzers, machineguns and other materials. “There is nothing else remarkable on the whole front except air action by the enemy. Our aircraft carried out bombing raids and machine-gunned, with great success, concentrations of lorries and enemy troops at various points on the front. Reconnaissance flights also were made. Enemy aircraft bombed the towns of Piraeus, Patres and Volo, as well as a number of small towns and villages, without achieving any military gains. There were a few people killed or wounded among the civil population and no damage was done to military installations. “In aerial combats and through antiaircraft fire, five Italian planes were brought down. One of our planes did not return to its base.”
