In case Yugoslavia should enter the war on the Allied side, "D'Impere" continued, it could be easily neutrealized by Italian action, while attacks against Turkey and Greece could be launched from Monastir and other points along the southern Yugoslavian border. Military bases in Greece are within easy reach of Italian aircraft from their aerodromes in Albania and the islands of the Aegean, the paper observed.
The daily said it was highly possible that Hungary and Bulgaria would join Italy in the war, opposing Yugoslavia, Greece and Turkey. In this event, it added, Soviet Russia, because of her relations with Germany, would be sympathetic towards Italy.
A major battle would be fought in Egypt, where Britain would resist Italian attempts to wrest control of ihe Suez Canal, giving Libya an important role to play in the conflict.—Domei.
London, May 28.
The German advance in the Flanders sector Tuesday threatened not only to separate the British, French and Belgian armies in the northern "gap" of Belgium and France from the rest of the Allied armies but also to cut these forces off from their own chief bases and sources of supplies, according to reliable military quarters here today.
These quarters admitted that the fate of the northern Allied forces may hinge on the result of the war's bloodiest battle now underway near Courtrai and Menin.
Should the German break through the line from Courtrai to Menin they could probably link up with armour Nazi divisions besieging Calais, thus encircling the Allied northern armies.
The terrific pressure the Germans are extending in their drive to the French and n coasts was indicated today by the arrival of a British officer and 12 of his men at southern English port. These men made a narrow escape from a French seaport town, where their divisions were hard-pressed by the advancing German troops and planes.—United Press.
