MORE ALLIED TROOPS IN DODECANESE
Italo-German Battle In Rhodes
LONDON, September 23. More troops are being sent to the Dodecanese islands, according to Turkish reports, which say that British warships are moving in and out of the islands and that Allied planes are using the newlyestablished airfields. The Allies occupy four of the Dodecanese islands —Castelrosso, Kos, Leros and Samos.
The British forces by-passed the Ger-man-held Rhodes, the main island iu the Dodecanese, to land on Leros, Kos and Samos. Landings ou other islands are expected soon, as a preliminary to a thrust against the Balkans from the south-east.
In Rhodes fierce fighting is said to be in progress between Germans and Italians.
