Over the Wire

The reelection of President Roosevelt far overshadows in probable ultimate effect on the international situation any current military or diplomatic activities.

Neither side in the European war has the slightest doubt but what the action of the American electorate will result in maximum United States aid to Britain against the Axis powers. The effect upon the morale of the warring peoples is certain to be strong.

Albanian Invasion Denied

Reynolds Packard, United Press manager in Italy and correspondent in the Ethiopian and Spanish wars, reported from the fighting that he personally saw Italian forces penetrate Greece at a number of points in some instance for "many miles"--and that he was convinced the Greeks had not entered Albania at any point. Italian operations were handicapped last week by rain and mud, Packard said, but now were advancing in force along the entire front.
