Greeks Increase Tally of Successes
Received Wednesday, 9 p.m. LONDON, Feb. 19. Vigorous fighting marked the sixth day of local Greek offensives in Albania, especially in the central sector, where the Greeks increased their tally of successes against strongly-fortified and stubbornly-held positions. The Italians are rushing up reinforcements in an attempt to stem the Greek advance, but the Greeks captured a stronghold nearly 6000 feet high. The Greek Press Ministry described this and other captures as highly important. The Italian casualties continue abnormally high. A Rome message says that members of the 1921 class hitherto exempt, also other groups, are being called up on February 27.
