Serious-Bloodiest of Balkan
Battles

London, July s.-After ten days of
ed and disabled in the Balkan strug-
gle was Sunday estimated between 80
600 and 10000 This estimate is said
to be conservative.
The Servians have lost more men
than in the whole previous campaign
and semi-official statements issued at
Belgrade have the appearance of an
intention to prepare the public for
news Of a disaster.
A Belgrade dispatch, describing the
five days operations between Vardar
and KWivolak, says that after holding
greatly superior force in check the
Servfans were obliged to retire Thus
Krivolak fell into the hands OF the
Bulgarians
Another semt-ot1icial communication
says the Servians lost $4,000 killed
and wounded and the Bulgarians 90

There is heavy fighting also be-
tween the Servians and Bulgarians to
the south Of Istip and in the neigh.
Dorhood OF Kotchana. About 100000
men are engaged and the losses on
both sides are engaged 10 be terrible.
Desperate fighting, with fiuetuating
fortunes, IS proceeding along the Var
dar and Bregalinitza rivers, which

Bulgarians.
Bulgarta's strategy appears to be
to hold the Greeks in check probably
with comparatively small forces. while
she deals with Sarvia. This assump-
ton, If correct, would explain the vic
torious advance OF the Greek army.
