Balkan bailie field
At this writing- the outcome It
the titanic struggle in the Balkans
is still undecided though the end
seems gravely near.
The Italians were asserting late
Thursday that the entire British
Greek front was collapsing; but
Reuters, British news agency, de
clared that the line, though under
heavy pressure, was still intact.
Reports from the Larisa sector,
scene of some of the bloodiest
fighting, declare that the Germans
are .recklessly throwing away men
in their ceaseless attacks on the.
Australians who are bearing the
brunt of the defense of the area
south of Mount Olympus. Athens
reports still declare that the An
isacs are holding fast, and there
was an intimation that the allies
were making a "do or die" stand.
Meanwhile the wai in the west
flared to new heights. The nazis
unleashed one of the heaviest air
attacks of the war against Lon
don Wednesday night, and one
which the Germans declared to be,
the biggest air raid of all times."

The Luftwaffe rained death on
the English capital for eight hours,
in which 400 nazi planes dropped
more than 100,000 incendiary and
high explosive bombs.
The German high command de
clared that the raid was in re
prisal "for the English destruction
of the cultural and historic center
of Berlin on April 9." Aside from
the question that might be raised
regarding the cultural significance
of Berlin under the nazis, the
statement is interesting in that it
is one of the few admissions of
damage by the RAF that has come
out of Germany.
Only five German planes were
reported brought down by the
English anti-aircraft guns and
fighter planes. This evidence of
German air superiority in the
west, combined with the rapid
march of events in the Balkans
and North Africa makes impera
tive a speeding up of the adminis
tration's strenuous effort to ac
celerate the flow of munitions and
other implements of war to the
beleagured enemies of the nazis.
