Reuters Cairo correspondent says the official spokesman of the Yugoslav Government said that 17 officers and a large number of men have already signed up to join Tito. The correspondent adds that it is confidently believed in Cairo that the. figure is much, higher. Paris radio states that Axis troops last week stormed the town in which. Tito's headquarters were situated and captured all the headquarters personnel and all the documents there.
