GREEK LINE NOT REACHED
(United Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 10.40 a.m). LONDON, October 31. It is authoritatively stated in London that the Italian advance from Hobispol is the strongest point of their attack. The fighting in that area seems to be an affair of outposts. The Greek defensive line has not yet been reached. There is no information of landings by British troops. The British United Press correspondent at Rome states that a dispatch from Agyrokastron says that bad weather has broken, and light Italian units, advancing under a violent artillery barrage, opened up a big attack. An Athens message says the Greeks counter-attacking north of Janina are reported to have retaken a hill from the Italians, also considerable equipment. Greek bombers attacked an Italian supply line. A report from Belgrade says that the Italians are shelling Janina, and that heavy fighting continues near the Greek-Yugo-slav border.
