PRESUMED LOST
JUGOSLAVIAN GENERAL PASSENGER ON TORPEDOED SHIP (Rec. 0.20 a.m.) NEW YORK, Apl. 13. Survivors from an American cargo passenger vessel torpedoed on March 29 were landed at Lewes, Delaware. It is revealed that one of the passengers who is presumed lost was General Milo Djukanovic, a Jugoslav'. The Jugoslav Legation at Washington said that General Djukanovic was en route to the United States in order to rally volunteers for the Jugoslav military unit to fight with the Allied forces in the Near East. General Djukanovic recently commanded Jugoslav forces in South Africa. When the Nazis invaded Jugoslavia, General Djukanovic was assistant commander of the very important naval base at Boka Kotorska. He refused to capitulate, and remained at his post until forced to escape to Greece in a little training submarine.
