MACEDONIAN FORTS. Under Pitiless Attacks By Dive-Bombers. United Press Association.—Copyright. (Reed. 5 p.m.) LOXDOX, April 11. Some Greek forts on the Macedonian frontier are still holding out. They were subjected to day-long pitiless attacks from dive-bombers, while loudspeakers attempted to cajole them to surrender by flattering their bravery and declaring that the German? had no quarrel with the Greeks. One Greek garrison counter-attacked and captured a height from the Germans. The German forces to the westward appear to be developing a pincer movement towards Fiorina, tiding blitz tactics. with dive-bombers blasting a path f<»r the army and numerous attacks bv tanks. Fast mechanised units find out the weakest point, on which the whole fury of the attackers is launched. A ca-dc from London states that the f!re«.k force® in Ka«t Thrace are still offering desperate and heroic resistance to the Hermans.
