It seemed likely that additional troops will be moved into Iraq and brought north for possible opera-| tions on the Syrian border and into Syria in event the Germans arrive there. |

i i Warns of ‘Surprises’ | The rapid unfolding of German i plans for an offensive into the Middle East was matched by new indications of possible estrangement between Russia and Germany, coin-| cident with Nazi moves toward the] (Dardanelles, Soviet warm water | gateway.

48.000 Now Evacuated

The newspaper Pravda had re-| ported that 12000 German troops had arrived in Finland. These re-| ports were described in Helsinki as “considerably exaggerated.” In Berlin reports that German trade deliveries to Russia had been halted drew the equivocal comment that deliveries are ‘the same today as previously.” It appeared that Britain wili soon have the bulk of her war-hardened Greek Expeditionary Force available to reinforce her Middle Eastern garrisons. Some 80 per cent of this force of 60,000 men—about 48,000 have been evacuated successfully. | | They will require rest and re-fitting before going into the line of battle |

again. |

In addition Cairo announced that | “almost all the Greeks who wanted | to leave their homeland” to con-| tinue fighting the Axis had been | evacuated. It was said that no figures were yet available as to the size of this new “army-in-| exile,” but some military men had | ' previously predicted that the | British might be able to take off a greater total army than they | breught to Greece. | Nazi Casualties Called High | It appeared that the maximum | British casualties in Greece would | be 12000 men and the figure may | be reduced somewhat by scattered | final evacuations. Against this) figure was set British estimates that | the Germans suffered possible 75000 to 150,000 casualties in the Ralkan campaign.

Dissenkion Reported |

Vichy heard reports that Rome and Berlin are disputing on the di-| vision of Balkan spoils. The dispmte apparently arose over Italian demands for larger slices of Jugoslavia and Greece than the Nazis are inclined to allow. | Continuing the final mopping-up| of Greece, Italian parachute troops] cecupied the islands of Cephalonia and Zante off the Greek west coast. | The Royal Air Force attacked | Berlin in the course of a night of heavy raids that included attacks upon Kiel, Hamburg, and Emden. | In Tokyo the extremist press! started a campaign to force the Government to “harden” its attitude toward the United States and Britain and speed up the drive into] the South Pacific.
