(Internitiontl) Visit Recalls Only Three Members Living Of World War I Draft Board Greeks Report 110 Guerillas Killed To Date Claim Kulgarian Frontier Crossed ATHENS, July 19. U.R The Greek Army reported officially today that it had killed 110 and captured 70 others since Sunday. Additional casualties were Inflicted by the Greek Air Force, a ipokesmun for the Greek general staff said.

He set Greek Army casualties at nine killed and 11 wounded. Me figures guerilla losses were lower than those by Rightist political iources, and his account of the fighting varied from that given by Defence Minister Napoleon Zervas. The Army spokesman, who could not be named, said there was no evidence that an "Inter, national brigade" participated in the guerilla attack. He said the issault began from Albanian ter--ltcry. but was made by Greek guerillas who previously had fled into Albania.

(In Sofia, authoritative Bul garian sources charged that 200 regular Greek Arm soldiers enured one mile into Bulgaria, "in cessantly firing." (The Greeks kidnaped a Bui-garian civilian and then with-lrew to Greek soil, the Bulgarian sources said. The alleged was reported to the Al lied Control Council and to the Russian United States and British legations.) The Greek Army spokesman said that the anti-government guerillas who fled into Albania received all the food and am munition they could carry, and exchanged their broken-down weapons for better British-made arms. He estimated that guerillas now in Greece totaled 5.000 or 6,000. Under the present circumstances, he said, these guerilla bands would not have a chance against an organized army. Zervas, both a politician and former guerilla fighter him self had complained that the Army had left northwestern Grece and particularly Ioannina Yanina) unprotected.

This, the Greek Army spokesman denied. He said that guerillas in north western Greece now were scatter ed into small groups, but stilt seem to be under a single com mand."
