Greek confidence grew apace as , the first downpours of the four- month winter rainy season made slush of snow in the mountain pass- es, deepened the mud in the lowland roads and threatened to bog down mechanized war. Principal gains announced today by the b.gh command were in the * Pindus Mountains, central section of * the border battlefront, where the " Italian Alpine division was trapped in an attempted drive toward Met- sovon, northeast of Ioannina. What was left of the division was reported retreating in disorder, leaving behind uncounted dead and almost all its equipment--even med. ical supplies. "With this large unit," a com- " munique declared, "the enemy plan- ned to deal a quick, decisive blow at our forces in Epirus . .. We launch- - ed a series of counter attacks which " we pressed with stubborness over hard terrain and through bad 1 weather conditions... 5 Enemy Overthrown "After a flerce fight the enemy © forces were overthrown, and, hast- ening to esfpe complete encircle~ ment, retreated in disorder, hotly _ pursued. In their flight they carried away with them other enemy forces ' which were landed at Valona (Al- bania) and rushed by motor car to . . . support their retreat. "Eenemy losses in dead and wounded were very heavy. A large number of prisoners was taken and a great quantity of all sorts of war material not yet counted, fell into our hands, To the west, toward the coast, where the Italians startéd their first wedge into Epirus almost two weeks ago, the Greeks were said to have stopped another Italian attack over the week-end, annthilated two bat- talions, and forced the invaders back under heavy artillery fire. From heights overlooking the en- circled Italian base at Koritza, at the opposite end of the battlefront. additional Greek Guns hauled into position through ice and slush were reported to be continuing a steady bombardment, reducing Italian de- fences for a final assault. Gunned From Behind The Athens radio alleged Italian prisomers reported that Albanian troops, fighting alongside Italian units, had been machine-gunned from the hack when they retreated. The radio gave this summary of the situation over the week-end: "The Italians tried to invade Greece from thyee different points, from the Koritza-Phlorina Road, from the Pindus road, and from the west. "The Pindus road had been con- sidered by the Italians as more suit- able for a blow at the Greek army. The Greeks frustrated the Italian attempt and dispersed the Italian army of the centre . . . the advance along the coast line in the western sector -- an advance whose object was to unite this column with the central army--was rendered prob- lematical, and the failure in the northern sector as a result of our occupation of important positions in front of Koritza bars this column's movement to Macedonia." Unfavorable weather brought a let-up in Italian air ralds. Two towns on the Greek Island of Crete were reported bombed yesterday. A Greek spokesman pointed to the change in Itallan commanders in the campaign from Albania and sald it indicated the view at Rome that the drive has been a failure. (Gen. Ubaldo Soddu, Italian undersecre- tary of war, was sent to Albania Saturday to take charge of the cam- paign.) The first American Red Cross contribution for war relief--$5,000-- was received by the Greek Red Cross yesterday. Greece's Premier, Gen. John Metaxas, replied with a letter of thanks. New Fascist Commander Rome, Nov. 11, (AP) --Gen. Ubal- do Soddu, 57-year-old veteran of every Italian military campaign since 1900, has taken command of the Fascist invasion of Greece, ap- parently under instructions from Premier Mussolini to get the broken effcri back into high gear. General Soddu, Mussolini's un- dersecretary of war, went to Al- bania in a change which the Fas- cist editor Virginio Gayda declared yesterday meant the campaign would be speeded at once. (British dispatches Saturday from Athens said captured Italian officers reported that Gen. Visconti Prasca had been in charge of the Italian campaign in Greece). At the same time, the Italians announced their first use of cavalry in the battlefront mountains. Mounted detachments were .claim- ed to have struck swiftly into the northern Epirus in the vicinity of the Vojousa river, ahd tc have cap- tured Greek artillery and arms. (This was at variance with Greek reports which said the Italians were checked on all parts of the front and driven back in disorder some points) A communique yesterday claimed that a British battleship and air- craft carrier were struck with heavy bombs in a fierce attack by Italian bombing formations in the central Mediterranean. (There were no British reports of such an action). Strengthened anti-aircraft fences were claimed to have beaten off British bombers which tried to attack Naples early yesterday. Bombs were dropped, however, at Cremona, famed for its viclin mak- ers, in the vicinity of Mt. Vesuvius, between Naples and Pompeii, and near Torre Annunciata, macaroni centre. (No details were available London immediately of the Naples attack), SOVIET PREMIER ONWAYTOBERLIN FORNEW PARLEY Suggest That Turkish and Dardanelles Problem Will Be Discussed Berlin, Nov. 11. -- (AP) -- Soviet Russia's premier-foreign commissar, Vyacheslaff Molotoff, sped toward Berlin today for discussions which some sections of the German press suggested might centre on the prob- lem of British-guaranteed Turkey, guardian of the Dardanelles. Informed sources said Molotoff was expected to reach Berlin some- time tomorrow forenoon. Foreign Minister Ribbentrop will accom- pany the Soviet entourage on the main part of their train ride through the eastern Reich to the capital, these sources added. The National Zeitung stated last night, a short time after Molotoff left Moscow by rail amid consider- able ceremony, that the Turkish question lay within the scope of conference, scheduled to open early this week, perhaps tomorrow. Because of the controlled nature of the German press this assertion took on the aspects either of a de- liberate untruth or an authoritative declaration of what was to come up in the discussions. Dienst Aus Deutschland commented that Molo- toff's visit, made on Germany's in- vitation, indicated that the Berlin- Rome-Tokyo alliance "had found a welcome reception" in Moscow. (From Rome came word that Italy's Foreign Minister Clano might attend the Berlin conference, although their was no mention of this in Berlin or Moscow. Rome observers also mentioned the pos- sibility of a discussion of the Turk- ish question, as did neutral sourc- es.) All press comments on the Ger- man-Russian discussions, however, were tempered with the caution that nothing too revolutionary should be expected. (Molotoff; accompanied by a staff of 33 experts on foreign affairs, in- ternal affairs, commerce, aviation and industry, left Moscow at 6:40 pm. (11:40 am, EDT.) yesterday. Also 'aboard 'the train were Count Friedrich Von Der Schulenberg, German ambassador to Moscow and Karl Schnurre, head of a Ger- man trade delegation which has been in Russia for a year. (In the Russian capital, discus- sions on what would be considered at the conference centred about the inclusion of Japan in the Rome- Berlin axis, Germany's position in at de- | in | Rumania next door to Russia, Italy's invasion of Greece and the status of the Balkans and the Near East.) It was considered certain here that Hitler would receive the Rus- slan premier--making his first trip outside the Soviet Union--before Molotoff begins his discussions with | Rivoenirep, Discussions between the two last year resulted in the non- aggression pact between Germany and Russia just-/before the out- break of war. The official announcement of | Molotoff"s acceptance of the Ger. man invitation Saturday might said the trip was designed to "continue {and broaden the constant exchange | of opinions" between the two coun- | tries. RUMANIAN QUAKE TOLL INCREASED (Continued from Page 1) and set raging fires in rich Ruman- ian of! fields. Property damage many. millions of 5.000-square-mile area the three-minute tremor left thousands injured, and terror-stricken, Tens of thousands of German sol- diers quartered in the kingdom pitched in swiftly to help Iron Guardists, firemen, police and Ru- manian troops in the rescue work, which- was hampered seriously by broken 'communications, including almost complete suspension of rail traffic because of collapsed bridges and buckled tracks. (Some neutral military observers considered the damage might con- stitute a stiff blow to possible Ger- man plans to move large numbers of troops through Rumania for a Balkan campaign. They also point- ed out the damage to oil flelds might slow down the flow of Ru- manian ofl to the Nazi military machine.) Centred In Focsani The quake, whose epicentre was in Focsani, a city of 50,000 in the Eastern Carpathian foothills about 100 miles north of Bucharest, struck at 3.39 am. (9:30 p.m. Saturday, ED.T.). Focsani and Galati, g city of 102,- 000 population on the Danube, were believed to have been the worst hit cities. Bucharest's newest and most modern gpartment building, a 10- storey structure, collapsed at the very beginning of the quake and officials estimated 300 men, women and children were trapped in the wreckage. Rescue workers shovelled franti- cally in an effort to reach groups trapped in an air raid shclter be- neath the 20-foot high pile of rub- ble. By some freak, the telephone in the shelter worked long enough Jor a call to police headquarters for 1elp. Thirty bodies had been recovered last night, from the wrecked build- ing and 15 persons were brought out barely alive, Two others were found conscious, "It took about two minutes for the building to fall" -a newshoy who saw it related "All that time I heard, the horrible sound of human screams. Then came sudden silence." Campina, a * thickly - populated town about 100 miles northwest of Bucharest, was reported to be "in ruins," with fiérce fires raging in refinery. plants, including those, of Romana-Americana, a subsidiary of Standard Oil Company of New Jer- sey. Ploesti, an important oil centre nearer the capital, also was hard hit, while hundreds of roofs and mounted into dollars in the affected by which homeless large buildings collapsed in Bra sov, histotic German Transylvan- ian city, killing some and injuring a great many. 4 Nearly all theatres and public buildings were reported levelled in the hard-hit cities of Galati and Focsani, and scores of bodies were said to have been located already at Galati, a Rumanian submarine base, The cathedral, Greek church, largest factory and rail- road station were reported in ruins there, The entire centre of Focsani was reported wiped out and one of the towns destroped completely was Panciu, not far from Focgani. Nearly 100 prisoners in the peni- tentiary at Dostana died when the prison was levelled. The Military Academy near Tergomista was wrecked and the roof of Rumanian army headquarters in Bucharest collapsed. Panic-stricken residents of the capital were afraid to go home for fear further shocks would shake down tottering buildings. | Many sought safety in fields and Yo and invalids spent the night in the city's parks, miserable un- der a drizzling rain, The Royal Palace suffered some damage, but Xing Michael and Queen Mother Helen were outside the quake area, at the summer place in Sinaia. BRITISH SKIPPER SCORES NAZI SUB (Continued from Page 1) fore a woman or child. There was no need, as perfect ordes was main- tained. Crewmen stripped the gun aft for action as the U.hoat rose to the surface in perfect position for a shot at the British ship. The undersea craft was only 1500 yards away and the British seamen sent four shots at her in quick succession, all being near misses. Although she was not hit, the German U-boat did not linger, submerging immediately and not being sighted again. The ship was attacked by a Nazi dive bomber when at sea only a day and a half. Still in the convoy at the time, the Britisher was not damaged, but saw another ship hit by a bomb and turn back to Eng- land.- She made port, passengers sald, Another vessel was hit but not seriously damaged and continued her voyage. Joseph Williams, a Montreal ef- gineer who crossed the Atlantic six times since war broke out without being on a ship that went down, was one of the passenger+ leaving the ship here. The others were English youths, John Parry- Evans, bound for St. Thomas, Ont.,, and J. E. Dart, who will spend the rest of the war with his grandmother, Mrs. PF. H. Dart of Halifax.

Men were trans- ferred from other departments to take the place of the 38 as "we are on war work for the British Government and the wheels must be kept turning." Ottawa Is Watching Ottawa, Nov, 11--(CP) -- Labor Department officials said they are watching the situation at Chrysler Corporation of Canada . plant at Windsor, where 24 former employ- ees were arrested under Defence of Canada regulations. As far as could be learned here, arrests, made when men allegedly disregardéd an order to break up a picket line at the Windsor plant, were made on local authority. Labor Department officials said the department had a representa- tive in Windsor who was in touch with the situation.

That is, they re- membered to avoid preventable ac- cidents generally. One week ago, The Oshawa Dally Times detailed a reporter with a portable typewriter to go to the police station and take down a re- cord of accidents which ranged in seriousness from incidents involving no damage to a hit-and-run fatal- ity near Greenbank which brought province-wide police action and ar- rest and arraignment here on Wed. nesday of the alleged culprits. Only two local accident reports were filed with police up to 9 am. today. About 9:45 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 10, Howard Beamish. 15, 86 William street west, was involved with a car allegedly driven by Felix Babiarz, 577 Ritson Road South. Damage es- timated at one dollar was done to the lad's bicycle. The car, it was stated on the report, fared 100 per cent worse. Repairs said to be ne- cessary will cost $2.00. The boy stat- ed that he was unhurt. P. C. Spence investigated. At 7:05 am., today, Sgt. Bowman investigated an accident in the lane« way of the Central Hotel. Those ine volved are Jack Timko, 119 Eldon Avenue, Diamond taxi driver, and Arthur Wren, 176 Burke street, drive ing a truck.
