the Greeks and also of any military power that Britain might be able to throw into the conflict at the moment. Furthermore, it was believed that the Italian reverse might have brought closer the long-threatened Axis offensive in the Mediteranean which may have been thrown out of gear by the Greek resistance but which may become more important than ever to the Nazi-Fascist combination as a result of the fall of Koritza. Both sides appeared to have suffered heavy casualties in the 11-day battle there.
Italian Retreat Resembles Rout
Along the coast Athens said that Spartan infantry had infiltrated behind the Italian positions and cut the highway to their southwest base of Argirocastron, 15 miles across the Albanian frontier and just south of Porto Edda, the main entry port for Italian supplies in south Albania. The Greeks said thatethe Italians, realizing their communications were cut, were retreating in something approaching a rout. If Argirocastron fell to Greece the Italians would be stalled thoroughly at both ends of the line on which they had hoped to slash their way into Greece. London, paying high tribute to Greek initiative in driving the Italians back across the Albanian border, said capture of Koritza should end for the time being danger of a successful Italian thrust to Salonica from Albania. The possibility of an Italian turning movement from the coast which would cut across north central Greece and split the country was reduced by the Greek successes on the Epirus front. : However, London and—presumably—the Greek command had their fingers crossed because of two alternatives which are open to the Axis. These are joint Italo-German operations through Jugoslavia to open up a new front in Macedonia, just north of Salonica, and a possible German or German-Bulgarian drive
lacross the Bulgarian border which probably would threaten
Thrace and Turkish control of the Dardanelles as well as the strategic port of Salonica. Van Papen Goes to Sofia Franz von Papen, ace Nazi negotiator and Germany’s Ambassador to Turkey, was in Sofia today, apparently engaged in confidential discussions with Bulgaria's top officials. Balkan listening posts predicted a Bulgarian ultimatum to Greece or a grant of permission to allow German troops from Rumania to sweep through Bulgaria and attack the Greek Macedonian frontier. Turkey made plain with her press and radio warnings that she was alive to this prospect. But it still was not clear whether Turkey would consider her position sufficiently threatened by an attack on Macedonia by Germany, Bulgaria, or both nations, to come into the war at the side of Greece and Britain. : : It was Rumania’s day in Berlin. Premier Antonescu and Sturdza were expected to sign a document proclaiming her adherence to the new Axis order in Europe or possibly to the tri-partite alliance. 0 Next on the list are Slovakia and Bulgaria. Jugoslavia is the only Balkan nation not on the Axis diplomatic list—a factor which underlay the fears that Germany and Italy might demand the right of transit for their troops to attack Greece. Italy’s war communique made evident that the war in
phase. Ettore Muti, Fascist Party secretary who had been feared lost in his warplane over Greece, turned up again. He said he had made a forced landing in Greece but managed to take off and return to Albania.
German activity in the United States was stated to be “three short laughs.”

NC Democrats, Here to Caucus, Cite Precedents on Patronage.
By NOBLE REED Democratic minority members of the Legislature, organizing their leadership in caucus meetings here
today, expressed little concern over the prospects of losing State House patronage to the Republican majorities. ; They claim that ambitious: G. O. P. leaders, wistfully eyeing large patronage plums, are destined to run into some “legal stone walls” if they attempt to infringe upon the cen-tury-old powers of the Governor's office, : The Democratic Legislators were smugly pointing to legal precedents regarding a Governor's control over state government and disclosed that they had a battery of attorneys digging up some pointed court decisions. Claim ‘People’s’ Support Laws giving the Governor certain undisputed powers in running the government have been on the books for 150 years, backed up by endless Supreme Court decisions, they contend. “The people of Indiana will not condone the ‘scuttling’ of the highest office -of their state and we are not worrying about the prospects that Mr. Schricker (the Democratic Governor-elect) may be reduced to a puppet,” one party leader said. The minority Legislators, speaking specifically, referred to the State Highway Commission and the Alcoholic Beverage Commission as departments “wholly under control of the Governor.” - They pointed out that all laws creating these departments and all the regulatory amendments in connection with them gave the Governor complete control over them. “The people expect to held the Governor responsible for the departments,” they said. “A division of power would result in confused ‘buck passing.” The Legislators were to choose their caucus chairmen and minority floor leaders of both Houses this afternoon following a luncheon meeting. Mentioned for the Senate minority leader post were Roger Phillips of New Albany, Charles H. Bedwell of Sullivan and Claude McBride of Jeffersonville. Senator Thomas Hendricks of Indianapolis has been mentioned for Senate caucus chairman. :

the possibilities Mr. Mason
United Press War Expert
The Greek capture foday of Koritza; Italy’s most important field base in Albania, must lead tq, reorganization of the Fascist plans of campaign against ~ Greecetand may stimulate revolt among the Albanian tribesmen gravely increasing Italy's difficulties. If Mussolini receives no help it is well within
that he must choose between aban-
doning the Greek war or lessening his commitments elsewhere or calling more troops to the colors, It is disconcerting to the Italians that the Greeks have shown a
stronger offensive fighting spirit than the Fascists. First in defensive tactics within their own territory and now in offensive operations amid
the Albanian mountains, Greek leadership and Greek military elan have been superior to their opponents. : Mussolini apparently has erred primarily in taking on a more ambitious program of conquest than his present military strength allows. In his speech last Monday, Il Duce said the Italian armies now total 1,000,000 men. That number is not sufficient for such grandiose enterprises as the Fascist General Staff has envisioned. At the top of Mussolini’s list of future accomplishments promised to the Italian people is the defeat of Great Britain in North Africa. A huge army must be required before any such major offensive can be started. In addition, Jugoslavia’s uncertain position necessitates keeping large Italian forces near the Jugoslav boundary. When the requirements of the campaign in Greece are added to these other demands, it is certain that much more than 1,000,000 troops are needed. However, Il Duce has assured the Italians that there will be no general mobilization. Indeed, parts of his speech last Monday already have caused speculation concerning the domestic reaction in Italy if important additions are called into the Army from civilian occupations. It is reasonable to believe that the Greeks may well outnumber the Italians along the fighting front at present. ys
Mussolini's predicament could be relieved if Hitler were to aid him by sending a fully equipped mechanized striking force" through Jugoslavia into the Greek plains which run from the Jugoslav border to Salonica. But all evidence to the present suggests the Germans are not yet in a rescuing mood. The Fuehrer wants Continental Europe for himself. The less impressive Italian military power becomes in the Balkans, the more can Hitler visualize his own supremacy. What effect the Greek successes will have on Bulgaria is questionable, for the time being. By remaining on the defensive in Albania, the Greeks could detach an important number of divisions, flushed with victory, to add to their strength against the Bulgarian frontier. The Bulgars must have an increased respect for Greek military capacity, which may produce an attitude of caution. In addition, the reaction in Turkey to a Bulgarian offensive against Greece is not positively known; nor is the feeling of Russia. The Greeks must have taken into consideration possible Bulgarian belligerency when they decided to resist the Italian invasion. Greek generalship has shown surprising capacity in the Albanian area. It may well add to its reputation if the Bulgars strike, especially since British aid has had time
