LONDON, December 30,
The Athens correspondent of "The Times" says that new successes which the Greek communiques modestly disclaim as "local operations" have in the last two days placed the Greeks in positions of strategic importance which are liable to paralyse the Italians' plans and ruin the Italians' chances of a counter-offensive for regaining the initiative.
The Italians have been prevented from re-forming behind a stationary front. The Greeks now occupy over a quarter of Albania, arid if the weather permits of a similar rate of advance they might conquer a further quarter before the end of January.
