« Deen largely dependent on external supply. Great quantities of arms, ammunition and other ro.ilitary atores have come across the. border, notably during times of heavy fighting. Strongly held positions of the guerrillas have protected theír vital supply lines from Bulgaria, Yugoslavia and, in particular, from Albania. In recent months, there has been less evidence of receipt of supplies from Yngoslavia by the guerri1las; 1

« Frequently moved at ·will in terrítory across the frontier for tactical reasons, and have thus been able to concentrate their forces without interference by the Greek army, and to return to Greecc when they wished; 1
