It is revealed that 150,000 Black Shirts participated in the disas-; troiis counter-attack on the central sector in Albania on Friday and left 1000 dead on the mountainside. The Greeks have now resumed the push northward of Kelcyra and captured new points of vantage. Farther westward they have attained their objectives, inflicting very heavy casualties and capturing a considerable amount of arms. The principal topic of conversation in Athens is the Albanian weather, which it is believed will be the main obstacle to a Greek advance to Valona and not the resistance by the Italians. Torrential rains normally last till March.
The Italian bombing of the cathedral at Salonika yesterday afternoon has aroused intense indignation in Greece. Three bombs hit the building, one penetrating the cupola dating from the fifteenth century, and ten other bombs fell in the cathedral courtyard and sur-rounding-streets.
