Retirement in Servia oo.
London: - Reuter’s claims to
have authentic information that
the Allies have decided not to
withdraw from Saloniki, Denial
is contained in a despatch from
Athens-to the effect _that, the
Greek government was seeking
to negotiate an advance from the
German gdvernment. The special
correspondent of Reuter’s with
‘the British headquarters staff in
the Balkans thus describes the
retreat of the Allies:

‘The evacuation of Doiran and
Gievgeli is completed. The Fran-
co-British are slowly retreating
towards Greek soil, taking time
to destroy tunnels and bridges,
The Bulgarians aré’ within five
miles of the Greek frontier, pre-
paring to cross, Greek: troops
are moving towards the threaten-|!
ed point, with the object of dis:
puting the Bulgarian .invasion.
In, the retirement, fighting in a
fog, thé Allies abandoned eight
field'guns, A British cpunter-
attack repulsed the énemy, the
Dublins, .Connaughts and Mun-
sters' charging with the bayonet,
The Bulgars left eizht thousand |
dead and wounded on the field.”’

Reinforcements Arriving

Paris: A despatch to the
Havas agency, dated Sunday says:

“An intense’ action continues
along the Entente-Allied fronts,

north of Doiran has noticeably
‘improved, thanks to the arzival
of reinforcements from Saloniki,|_
