Greek Naval Officers Bitter
Athens — The torpedoing of the
Greek steamer Angheliki on Saturday
near Piraeus, with
many
Greeks
aboard, was carried out without warn
ing, it is said here. This action is be
lieved to indicate that since the cap
ture of Constanza the German sub
marines have obtained a new supply of
benzine, enabling them to
resume
operations in the Mediterranean.
Greek naval officials are particularly
bitter that the attack seems to have
been made within Greek territorial
waters, only a few miles from Salami,
where a formidable allied fleet has
been stationed since September L
The loss of life is now said to reach
200, though tbe full number aboard the
Angheliki is not known.

When
