RUGBY, March 25.
Last night's Greek communique said: "There was artillery and mortar activity at various points on. the front. In the legion of the Rivers Apsos and Aoos (Viosa) enemy local night attacks were repulsed with serious losses to them. Another local attack in the same region wets also repulsed, and resulted in the enemy, beyond suffering losses, leaving in our hands 50 prisoners, of whom two were officers.'"
The story of Sunday's fighting, told in Athens yesterday, shows that the Italian troops were again attacking strongly and being repulsed anew with heavy losses. The Italians, it was said, showed remarkable determination, despite their losses, but had to withdraw in confusion. Prisoners say that the Italians are preparing new positions.
