IMPORTANT RAILWAY
4 FUT OUT OF ACTION BY GREEK GUERILLAS. 4 (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, July 18. It is now known that the successes of the Greek forces on the night of June_ 20 compose the greatest single disaster Germany has suffered through resistance in any occupied country. The demolition of an important railway bridge over the gorge at Thermopylae was supplemented by the destruction of three minor bridges farther north on the line to Salonika. As soon as the Germans began repairing the most northerly bridge a fourth was blown up, preventing them getting repair materials from Salonika. Thus the only railway to southern Greece will be out of action for some weeks, if not till the “falling of the leaves.”
