EUROPE CROSSED
■ ■ ■ — , BY TWO BRITISH SOLDIERS AFTER ESCAPE FROM PRUSSIA. ATHENS AT LENGTH REACHED. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) LONDON, May G. Mr Eden told the story of two British soldiers who had been captured in northern France and were transferred to a prison camp in East Prussia. From that camp they escaped and travelled all through Poland, across Hungary, through Yugoslavia and through Greece to Athens. They could speak no word of any language but their own. “They are at this moment. I believe, with their units in the Western Desert in Egypt,” Mr Eden said: “That journey was not only a fine feat by the men concerned, but it was only made possible because in each one of those countries there are thousands, nay millions, of people longing for an. op-1 portunity to help the British to victory! because Herr Hitler, though he may! rule the minds of these people,, cannot rule their hearts."
