Unsuccessful Italian Counter-attack
Heavy Snowfall Checks Operations “WOLVES or TUSCANY” HAVE BAD TIME United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. Received Monday, 10.50 p.m. LONDON, Jan. 20. The Italians yesterday unsuccessfully eounter-att&cked beyond Klisura. The Greeks allowed the attackers to approach before firing a sudden hail of bullets and the confused Italians thereupon hastily retreated after wildly throwing a few grenades. The Italian artillery did not attempt to support the counter-attack. A heavy snowfall on most of the front restricted operations to local Artillery' duels. A Greek communique states that in limited local operations numerous prisoners and abundant material were captured. The spokesmen said despite the snow the Greeks further advanced their lines. Two regiments of the “Wolves of Tuscany" have been destroyed.
