Since the Nazis joined the Italian troops in the Libyan sector previous sensational successes by the British have been wiped out and much territory formerly won is now inaxis hands. - iBALKANS: Nazi PowerThe sudden onslaught of the Nazi troops on five fronts against Jugoslavia and Greece came with terri-:fying swiftness and in the early days of the conflict it was evident :that a delaying action was the most jthat the Greeks could offer, and that sthe Jugoslavs, prepared mentally, but unprepared physically to resist, icould do little but harass the advance of the invader.Hungarian troops were also or-•dered to enter Jugoslavian territory .separated from Hungary after theing virtual evacuation of the port by Greek troops. British troops have not yet gone into'vaction.”One of the five fronts on which the Germans attacked was around Skoplje, in southwestern Jugoslavia, a vital railroad link between the. Greeco-British and Jugoslav forces. Early in the conflict;German panzer divisions captured'*- Skoplje, and drove a wedge through'The Vardar valley.

Chester county comprises the fox-hunting domain of Lord Halifax’s host, W. Plunket Stewart, and so faithfully has Mr. Stewart adhered to' the British tradition that Chester county is often called the Leicestershire county of America, with its hunts comparable only to the Melton, the Mowbray and the Quoin of Leicestershire—the same comprising, all the superlatives of fox-hunting in England.In 1911 Mr. Plunket—a hanker when he isn’t riding to hounds— began searching for the perfect hunting domain.
