ENEMY THRUSTS
OPPOSED STUBBORNLY AT ALL POINTS OBJECTIVES INDICATED. ATTEMPT TO REACH PLAIN OF THESSALY. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 9.47 a.m.) , RUGBY. April 17. The force of the German onslaught is made clear by the following Greek comment on a communique cabled last night: “The Germans yesterday threw the whole weight of their military mechanism against the Greeks and their Allies. Upon them they are exerting extreme pressure. A battle has been launched along the whole front, from Mount Olympus to Koritsa. The German pressure is heaviest at three main points—the region of Grevena, in the south, on the River Aliakmon and in the west 'at Koritsa. A German column, operating in the Grevena area, is trying to push forward towards Kalabaka, in Thessaly. Another force, from Cozani, is pushing south of the Aliakmon, while a third is advancing by Valacho and Klisura towards Castoria. It is stated that they have reached the old Greek-Albanian frontier. The Germans were stubbornly opposed all along the line.”
