London, ngland.-The Ger
mans, who are reported to have
been heavily reinforced recent
ly on the western front, are
making determined drives at the
positions in the Champagne dis
trict which We're taken by the
French in the great September
offensive. The intensity and
magnitude of the German drive
is expected to increase rapidly.

kaiser Interested In Recalls.
Washington, ID. C.-Emperor Will
liam has taken a personal Interest
in the Withdrawal. of Captain Boy-Ed
and Captain Franz Won Papen. the
attaches of the German embassy here.
State department officials have been
informed that as the attaches were
personally appointed by Emperor
William, he personally probably will
give the orders for their withdrawal.
The officials considered it probable
that the Berlin foreign Office We're
prompted to ask what caused the ac-
tion of the United States in declaring
the attaches persona non grata so
that when the report of the incident
was made to the emperor it may be
complete in all details. The belief pre-
vailed in official circles that Ambas-
sador Bernstorff would not be able
to inform Secretary Lansing that the
wishes of the United States would
be complied with before Saturday at
the earliest.
Allies Pressed in Balanks.
London, England the Serb
ian armies in retreat behind the AL
bantam and Montnegrin frontiers, it
is reported that the bulk of the Ger
man and Bulgarian armies are being
concentrated against the allied arm
les holding the southeast corner of
Serbia Heavy fighting has been in
progress there for the last few days.
There are no confirmation of the
hints from various sources that the
French troops have been forced def
initely to abandon the positions held
by them since the beginning of the
campaign.
The fall of Monastir and the south
ward progress of the German and Bul
garian forces, however. have placed
the northern wing of the French eX-
pedition i'll precarious situation and
a withdrawal from the angle formed
by the Vardar and Cerna rivers ap-
parently has begun. The constant ar
rival of fresh forces and war mater
ials at Saloniki gives evidence that
the Allies have no intention of aband-
oning their efforts in this region.
