CALL FOR UNITY

KING OF YUGOSLAVIA

LONDON, October 8. King Peter's first public reference to the disruption among the Yugoslavs was made in a broadcast from Cairo when he called upon the Yugoslavs to forget ancient grudges, cease the present quarrellings, and unite behind General Mikhailovitch and the other leaders for the battle of liberation. "I am sure the majority of my people have been deeply concerned at the lack of harmony among the Yugoslavs in their own country and outside," he said. "Our dispute will profit only the enemy. There have been mistakes in the past and now we are' paying for them, but the day of deliverance is not far off." A war correspondent with, the partisans, or People's Army, has- sent a dispatch to London telling of the determination of the men who are fighting to throw off the German yoke. The army has grown by tens of thousands since the collapse of the Italians, and in their ranks are fiery patriots who are waging war from the Adriatic Sea to the banks of the Danube. Fighting with a lack of arms, they have scored daring victories and withstood heavy reverses. The commander-in-chief is a mysterious figure known as Tiso.
