Thrace to be Evacuated

LONDON, TUESDAY--The Greek army yesterday "held its ground" against the Greman blitzkrieg along the Bulgarian frontier, although two Greek forts were captured by the Germans, a broadcast army communique said early today.

The evacuation of all western Thrace in the path of the German rive has been ordered "on account of military operations," the Greek high command said, and the removal of civilians is proceeding in orderly manner.

The Athens radio indicated that the two forts might have been taken by parachutissts
