destroyer, the -1870-ton Mohawk,
was acknowledged.
The disclosure that the great ac
tion a last had been) joined in
' Greece came in an announcement
of the British war office which
said that fighting was heavy "in
more than one sector" and in ef-
' feet denied reports attributed to
the Germans that the nazis had
carried out a damaging break
through on the allied right.
The Greek ! command's Bight
commnnlque - acknowledged a
nasi smash deep into the center
of the eeantrj which had reach
ed the area ef Grevena and was
menacing the important rail
head ef Kalabaka, $ miles to
the sooth and 90 miles within
Greece. m
The Italians, cooperating -with
the' Germans from Albania, were
acknowledged to , have made ad
vances south of Corizza.
All this, and the statement of
the British war office, made it
dear that the allies were hard put
to it on both their right and cen
ter. Italian dispatches pictured the
struggle in Albania which the
fascists are seeking to regain from
a Greek foe faced in the homeland
with a more powerful antagonist
as the most widespread since
the beginning of the Italian-Greek
war last October.
The Greeks, Kerne claimed,
were everywhere In retreat be
fore "a tide of troops and arms
. spreading toward the south on .
all roads leading to the Greek
border." Hundreds of thousands
of men were declared to be en
gaged although this squared 111
with a seemingly casual report
Of the Greek high command
that Italian attacks In Albania
had been thrown back with
heavy fascist losses.
The capture of Split, Yugosla
via's main Adriatic naval base,
likewise was claimed by the Ital
ians in a 240-mile thrust from the
Italian-Yugoslav frontier.
In Africa, British imperial and
axis forces fought bitterly about
the Egyptian border village of
Salum and the British anounced
heavy attacks on Fort Capuzzo in
Italian Libya. The British fleet
went back into the struggle with
strong suporting bombardments of
, both areas.
British Informants in Cairo
implied that both Capuzzo and'
Salum were in British hands;
the Germans. In effect denied
this by declaring that British
armored car assaults upon Sa
lum, supported by warships, had
been thrown back.
In east Africa, the British
cleanup went on and British mili
tary headquarters anounced that
the Duke of Aosta, the Italian
viceroy of Ethiopia, had dispatch
ed an envoy to the town -of Dire
da wa presumably either to nego
tiate for the surrender of his 75,
000 fascist troops or to arrange
lor the evacuation of Italian worn
en and children.

Nazi Culture
Destroys Self
Says Speaker
The culture of national social
ism can never be a great culture
and will eventually destroy itself,
Emanuel iBeller, Austrian youth
who escaped after two months in
a nazl j concentration camp, told
Rotary club members at their
luncheon i session at the Marion
hotel Wednesday.
Hitler has destroyed all great
individuals in Germany, Beller
said. "Unless we have great indi
viduals i we cannot have a great
culture." ;
Hitler, who Beller said is merely
a symbol,: has sown the destruc
tive element so thoroughly in the
Germans that, even should the
Germans conquer, the destruction
will continue. "The destruction
will go on until Hitler is de
stroyed,'' he said.
National socialism was the end
product; of a Germany which had
turned entirely to material aims,
Beller said. This grasping ideal,
he declared, led to unemployment,
and poverty, creating great gaps
between one part of the people
and another.
Hitler, reached power in this en
vironment, he said, by creating
suspicion and destroying family
lines so! that the entire nation had
no confidence in its former leaders
and friends.
Beller, now a student at Lin
field college at McMinnville, is a
native Of Vienna.
