EVACUATION SIGNS
NAZIS IN SALONIKA TRAIN TRAFFIC OBSERVED (11 a.m.) RUGBY, Oct. 29. Royal Air Force pilots reported on Saturday that Salonika was covered with smoke from demolitions, and it was evident the Germans were preparing to leave the city, says a correspondent in Greece. German evacuation trains have left Katerini on the way out. One pilot reported nine trains in the Katerini station and trains every few miles between Katerini and Salonika.
Royal Air Force medium bombers operating from Greece are impeding the enemy’s evacuation. “Our forward units in Greece have reached the ai'ea of Kazani, 45 miles from the Yugoslav border, where they are harassing the retreating enemy,” writes a Rome correspondent. “On Sunday afternoon many enemy guns and mortars were silenced when our artillery bombarded German positions close to the town.”
