KORCA IN PERIL
KEYPOINT OF ITALIAN OPERATIONS COLLAPSE OF OFFENSIVE ' POSSIBLE. SNOW FALLING IN MOUNTAINS. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 11 a.m.) LONDON, November 5. It is reported from Belgrade that the fall of Korea, the keypoint of Italian operations on the northern front appears to be imminent. Planes are attacking the town, the fall of which would lead to the collapse of the Italian offensive against the eastern gap in the mountains guarding the road to Florina. It will also seriously affect Italians operations on the central front. The Greeks have captured the village of Zemjalwaere, on the cross-roads to Korea and Lake Chrid. The Greeks are reported to have captured much military material, including many tanks. The Italians are bitterly complaining that the Albanians betrayed them. A message from Athens says snow is falling in the mountains on the northern front, and is expected greatly to impede the Italian offensive if it continues. It is officially stated in Belgrade-that three unidentified planes bombed Monastir, in Yugoslavia, hitting the railway station and damaging the airport. Two persons were killed and five were wounded.
