FATE OF ARGYROKASTRON NOT CLEAR THE GREEK OUTFLANKING MOVE. LANDING ON MAINLAND NORTH OF CORFU. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.5 a.m.) LONDON, November 26. The position at Argyrokastron is not clear. Some Greek troops are believed to have been landed on the mainland by ships northwards of Corfu, where thev have got behind the Italian flank and cut off the enemy communications. The Italians are sending all the reinforcements possible to Albania. Italian prisoners now reaching Athens are much inferior to those taken earlier. Greek reconnaissance units pushed 10 miles westwards of Moscopolis and found no Italians there, but captured the colours of three Italian battalions. The Associated Press of Great Britain Athens correspondent says-bayonet charges foiled the Italian effort to stem the retreat to the Adriatic. The Italians brought in their crack Forty-Second Division, direct from Rome, but the Greeks overwhelmed the counter-at-tack, and are continuing to advance.
