AXIS DEFIED
BY PATRIOTS IN NORTHERN GREECE TOWN HELD FOR SEVERAL DAYS. MURDERS IN REPRISAL. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.45 p.m.) LONDON, March 18. Greek patriots occupied the town of Padigani and held it for several days, says an Ankara message. German and Italian troops recaptured the town only after stiff fighting and the employment of planes. The Italian troops also had to retake Kastoria from the patriots. One hundred and fifty citizens of Kastoria were executed as a reprisal, and 500 hostages were taken. ’ The people of Athens, openly demonstrating against oppressive German measures, recently marched to a Government building, that of the Ministry of Labour. The Italians were only able to quell skirmishes in central Athens with the aid of tanks and bombs.
