READY TO BEGIN
BUT NOT FIGHTING YET GENERAL MIKHAILOVITCH IN YUGOSLAVIA AWAITING ALLIED LANDING (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 10.45 a.m.) • LONDON, October 4. General Mikhailovitch has admitted that the partisans are the only forces fighting the Germans in Yugoslavia, says “Reynold’s News.” The partisan forces (the People’s Army of Liberation). under General Tito, have been fighting heavy battles against the Germans. They occupy large stretches of the Adriatic coast and have penetrated into North-East Italy and Austria. “My army has not fought and.will not fight until we get orders,” says General Mikhailovitch. “I am ready to begin when the Allies give their promised signal. It would be an unnecessary spilling of blood to start fighting alone, without real Allied help, munitions and materials. I have told the British and Americans that my army will begin fighting when the first Allied divisions land in Yugoslavia. What we shall then accomplish will ■ completely overshadow the partisans’ performances."
