DISQUIET IN BRITAIN
OVER STATE OF AFFAIRS IN DODECANESE. LIMITED FORCE LANDED AT KOS. LONDON, October 8. “It was not expected that every Allied venture would prove successful m the Mediterranean, or elsewhere, but there is no denying that the state of affairs in the Dodecanese is causing disquiet in the public mind,” says “The Times” in an editorial. “The question is being asked why the garrison which landed at Kos should not have been stronger than the 1000 men—such is the German estimate —who had. to face a strong hostile expeditionary force from Greece. “There was certainly a considerable friendly Italian garrison, but whatever the future value of the Italian .forces, they have to undergo a period of recuperation and reorganisation before the moral and material shocks to which they have been exposed. The Allies meanwhile would do well to rely strictly on their own strengh and their own resources.”
