Rushing out into the street, he

------
In Greece, the situation is no better. There is a
virtual state of war between the British and the Elas.
The
British gover~ment has been obliged to send
reinforcements to Athens, which are now under
way.
The
ancien
.
capital
has been comparatively quiet all day,
but there are fifteen thousan Elas, well
equipped
and
well
organized fighters, opposed to the Popendreou
government in the city and the outskirts.
The northern
part of the country is controlled
by the Elas.
