EXPELLING BRITISH
■ AMBITIONS OF GERMANS t ' SEAMEN GO TO ITALY THREATS TO GREECE (Reed. Feb. 25, 9 a.m.) LONDON, Feb. 24. A correspondent of The Times on the Italian frontier states that German troop transports continue to go to Sicily and southern Italy unceasingly. Many German sailors, not be- , longing 1 to any ship, have gone to the south of Italy, presumably to take over at least part of the Italian navy. A correspondent of The Times on the German frontier says that military officers in Berlin explain that the offensive agairist Britain includes the expulsion of the British forces from the Continent, including Greece, because until the possibility of a British occupation of Salonika is eliminated the Rumanian oilfields will not be safe from the Royal Air Force. It is suggested in German military pircles that Greece might be induced diplomatically to assent to a separate peace, but if Greece does not consent she must be overcome by a German march to Salonika.
