LOYAL JUGOSLAVS
SUCCESSFUL TACTICS SORTIES FROM STRONGHOLDS (Rec. 11 p.m.) LONDON, Jan. 27. Successful tactics by loyal soldiers of Jugoslavia are causing concern to their German masters, according to information reaching London. Serbian Chetniks, seizing the opportunity afforded by heavy storms throughout the Balkans, swept out of the mountains and fell upon snowbound Germans and Croatians at several places, killing 450 Germans and more than 200 Croats. A powerful Chetnik band, raiding far into Croatia, attacked and occupied Karlovalz for 31 hours, killing the entire Ustachi garrison of 300 men, afterwards falling back into their Bosnian strongholds under cover of the storm.
