Fifty Thousand Fascists Put Out Of Action Mussolini Slinks Home authorities claim that, during . eight days of intensive action In j the Klisura-'f epelini sector of the ' Albanian front, 50,000 out of an ' estimated force of 120,000 Ital- ' fans have been put out of action even though the Fascist were under the personal direction of Premier Benito Mussolini himself. No less than 15,000 of these are claimed to have been killed with the others either wounded or captured. The Greeks also seized huge quantities of weapons and supplies. Indeed the Greeks, it is said, have been using almost entirely Italian weapons captured from the enemy. Following the debacle of his effort in recoup Italian prestige, Mussolini, bitterly disapnointed at the smashing of his offensive, has now tfipned quietly back to Rome. He had spent from March 3 to 14 on the Albanian front and had nt the finest Fascist fi'htine; resources into the batle against the Greeks but without success tn preventing the collapse.
