THROW AWAY THEIR
LIVES FOR BRITISH
Three Regiments Sacrificed Them
selves in order to Permit Main
Army to Retire.

LONDON. Dec. 13.-(S:35 p. M
How two companies of the royal lnuls-
killing fusiuiers. another of the
irish regiments forming the British
divisions which are making fight
ing retirement from Serbia, sacrificed
themselves to cover the retreat OF
their comrades is told by the wounded
who have reachd British headquarters
in Macedonia.
The British. according to the cor
respondent of Reuters Telegram com
pany in a dispatch from the British
headmarters, were outnumbered ten

we'll supplied with guns and machine
guns. Last Monday morning they
were awakened by heavy lombard

hail of shot and shell on them

of their fire.
The Bulgarian infantry then ad-
vanced to the attack i'm massed torma-
ton and We're severely punished but
the scarcity of British guns did not
permit them to take proper toll of the
advancing Bulgars. The British
emptied their rifles rapidly into the
crush and tried to stem the tide with
bayonets but were overborne by sheer
weight of numbers and the position
was lost. Similarly the second line
was lost and the British fell back on
the third line of defenses.
Two companies of Inniskillings,
however. held on To the ridge known
as Kevis crest and kept back the Bull
garians the whole morning although
they were supported only by rifle fire.
Hardly a man escaped but their stand
impressed and delayed the Buigars
thus giving the British much needed
time to complete defensive dispositions
in the third line where the Bulgars
were finally held up for four days.

adds, having suffered heavily have
since then attempted ~ strong Of

but that will be a crucial test.
\ Mr.. Taft scommendation, bas-

and even at the sacrifice OF some

by the prestige OF his extensive
experience, should serve to set al
rest the doubts that have been
aroused in some peopleby the in
sistence with which the champi-
Aons of this cause, and that, have
sought to show that this govern
ment has shown favoritism in
it's dealings with theforeign pow

: charges have come from b o t h
sides and by offsetting each 9TH
er have constituted, by heir very
contradictoriness, their own ef-
affective disproof. Advocates Of the
Teutonic cause have laid the ac-
cusation OF discrimination at the
door of this country because it is
exporting food and munitions oi
war to the British Isles whereas
Germany is unable to secure any
of these shipments. These advo-
Gates have overlooked the fact
Athat the United States is not re-
sponsible for the British domin-
ion of the seas. which has been
maintained by that N a t o n
through decades ofvast expense,
and that to place an embargo on
these products now, with Eng
land in possession Of the oceans,
would be an act Of gross parti-
Asanship though it would have
been permissible at the outbreak
of the war, before the dominion
of the seas hal been established
in actual warfare.
Advoc tes of the cause OF the
Allies, on the other hand, h a v e
criticised thegovernment because
it did not protest the violation

did not lift its voice against al

even intimated that the United
