 Reports Are Conflicting.
 LONDON, July 9-Out of the wei ter of conflicting stories from the Bal kan battle fields it is almost impossi- ble to sift the truth. This is markedly illustrated tonight in a dispatch from the day telegraph correspondent at Cskup, dated Tuesday night, reporting that there had bardIy been any fight Ing in the last few days, while the Bel grade dispatches report further Servian victories and the latest advices from the Servian capital asserting that the Bulgarians who invaded Servia were driven back across the frontier. There seems to be little doubt that General IVanoffs army is steadily retiring be- fore the victorious Greeks, and it is reported that the Bulgarians have evacuated both Kavalai. where the Greeks fleet is operating and Dedea Ghatch

This is so because of the uncertainty of the policy of Roumania. which is now reported to be ready to attack either SerVia or Bulgaria as the oc- casion may demand in order to pre- vent the disturbances of the Balkan equilibrium
 The problem of dealing with the dead and wounded is proving serious The nursing resources of Belgrade are woe fully insufficient and all accommoda tiOns are distressingly oVertaXed. + is stated that the ServianS permitted a pause in the operations for allowing the removal of the wounded and the of the dead as well as car rying out all sanitary measures for preventing the spread of cholera.
 The Greeks have made urgent repre- to the European govern ments against the massacres and mitted by the Bulgarians on the un- armed villagers of Rogdanza, Nigrita, Guevghel. and elsewhere, which is a of the international laws of war
 The Greek official statement asserts that instead of the 30,OOO alleged by sists of 12O, 900 men.
