COVENTRY

LONDON
Strong

forces
were
over
England
again
last
night.
London
had
an
alarm
but
escaped
actual
bombing.
Thousands
of
bombs
were,
however,
dropped
on
the
Midlands
and
south
and
southeast

towns.
Coventry
was
once

upon,
the
raid
here

for
several

and
resulting
in
considerable

and
quite
heavy
casualties.

GERMANS
TAKE
SALONIKA
ATHENS
German
troops
entered
Salonika
today
following
evacuation
by
the
Greeks.
There
is
no
indication
a"s
yet
that
British
troops
have
been
in
action.
Observers
in
London
said
"the
position
looks
dark
and
will
continue
o
until
it
is
clarified."
The
break-through
to
Salonika
makes
the
position
of
the
eastern
Greek
defenders
critical.
In
German
quarters
it
vat
claimed
that
they
had
already
surrendered
after
being
cut
off
from
the
rest
of
the
country.
However,
the
surrender
did
not
take
place
until
after
bitter
fighting
by
the
Hellenese
against
overwhelming
odds
In
which,
for
a
little
while
at
least,
the
Greeks
actually
assumed
the
offensive.
In
Yugoslavia
the
important
Industrial
and
military
centre
of

evacuated

resistance

to
