ATHENS, Dec. 2.—(A)—Capture of 5.000 Italians, the
largest mass of prisoners yet taken by the Greek army was
announced Monday from the northern front.
Their surrender, dispatches said, was the signal for a
general retreat of other Italian forces in the area, leaving a
huge gap in the Fascist center.
Fresh Italian troops, rushed to bolster sagging defense
lines, earlier had been reported being smashed back with
the regiments they came to reinforce and the Greeks claimed
“important” new advances all along the Albanian battle-
front.
Mention of the exact place where tl • front was reported
smashed was forbidden by military authorities. They per-
mitted mention merely that it was in the north.

docks at Lorient and the power sta-
tion. jetty and drydocks at Brest were
reported attacked, as well as a mili-

where bombs were said to have fallen
"among the barracks buildings and
warehouses on the quayside.”
"Another aircraft of the coastal
command made a successful attack on
the gas works at Asbjerg, in Den-
mark." a communique said. "An ex-
plosion followed the bombing and
flames covered the whole area ”
