ITALIAN BLUNDER
Prisoners’ View Of War Against Greece (Received December 27, 10.5 p.m.) NEW YORK, December 26. An Italian prisoner, Major Cambolio, a veteran of the Libyan war, told the United Press of America’s correspondent with the Greeks in the coastal sector that “this campaign was a worse defeat than Caporetto and was largely due to the breakdown of the Italian transport system.” Another prisoner, Lieutenant-Colonel Borsini, said he and most Italian officers regarded the Greek campaign as a blunder “since it threw the Greeks into the British arms, which might decide the whole outcome of the war.” Major Cambolio asserted that the Italians, since the initial allied bombardment were frequently without food and their clothing was inadequate against the terrible cold.
