DEFENCE OF VALONA
ITALIANS PREPARING DESPERATE STAND I CONSTRUCTIONS OF NEW DEFENCES ENEMY SUFFERING VERY HEAVY LOSSES. |By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright i LONDON. February 11. The Athens correspondent of “The Times’’ says that both sides in Albania appear to be developing new tactics. The Italians have suddenly begun to display an unwonted taste for night operations, wldie the Greeks are reviving their tactics of the early days of the war. Prisoners assert that, the Italians are hastily constructing fresh defence to the south-east of Berat, leading southward and then westward to the coast to the north of Himara. This is evidently the line on which the enemy is intending to make a desperate resistance for the defence of Valona. Prisoners also declare that the Italians have lost more men in the last fortnight than during the rest of the campaign. The fiftieth Italian counter-attack in the Albanian campaign has been repulsed by the Greeks, the 8.8. C. reports. The Italians were driven back with heavy loss.
