Upon the co-British Forces
in Macedonia by Their
Enemies.
ENGLAND is VERY ANXIOUS
Grave Doubts Voiced as to the
Ability Of the British to Re-
pei the Bulgars.

LONDON. Dec. 10.-The Bulgar-
fans. heavily REINFORCED and we'll
supported by artillery. are renewing
violently their attacks upon the Brit
ish Franco forces in Macedonia. Their
assaults have gone through all the
preliminary stages, and are now APP
preaching the climax Of intensity.
Although pursuit of the Serbians
still continues 1t Is apparent from
the proportion, which the Macedonian
conflict is assuming, that the major
part of the Bulgarian army has d.
verted its attention to the allies. The
outcome Of the battle now in prog
ress. Is awaited with great anxiety
In England, as 1t will determine in
a great measure the immediate fu-
ture for the Entente powers in the
Balkans.
The numerical superiority of the
Bulgarian forces already has been
demonstrated in the initial encoun-
tiers with the British. Grave doubts
are voiced here as to the ability of
the British forces to repel the in
creasing momentum of the Bulgarian
attack. There is no indication, how
ever, that the British or French have
found 1t necessary to withdraw fur
Their than the positions mentioned in
recent official communications. With
the Bulgarians in their positions at
Demir-Kapu and advancing west of
Vardar in the neighborhood of Pc
trovo, south of Strumitsa station, the
French wedge in Macedonia is threat
ened from both sides. The allied re-
treat toward the Greek border thus
far has been accomplished in good or
der without serious losses.
Resistance of the Montenegrins has
lost nothing Of its stubbornness and
the plight Of the Serbians fleeing into
Albania is said to be growing less ser
ious. But military affairs in these
sections have become of compare
lively small Importance and have lit
tie bearing on the main situation,
which since the Serbian retreat, has
shifted southwark.
Hard fighting continues on the
western front where the Germans
have been compelled to relinquish all
but a small part of the advanced
trench captured by them east of
Butte-de-Souain. There have been no
important developments on the other
front.

ALLIED TROOPS SOON

LONDON, Dec. 10-What seems to
be an intimation that the troops Of
the Entente Allies contemplate evac-
uating Serbian territory II they have
not already done so is contained IN
a statement declared in Reuter-
despatch from Saloniki to have been
issued by the French general staff
on the Balkan front.
The statement is as follows:
I'VE, the French and British, are
retiring for reasons easy to under
stand. In view Of the fact that the
Serbian army for the moment is out
of the reckoning our presence in Ser
bian territory is no longer necessary.
Bulgarian successes amount to an oc-

puted by us. They have invariably

The report given out month ago,
to the effect that the coal rate con-
test had ended with the refusal OF the
Chesapeake and Ohio railway to join
in t~e rate agreements, turns out to
have been false hope.
No sooner was this act of the exc
cutive committee OF the Chesapeake
and Ohio made known, than meeting
Of the executive heads OF the Pennsyl-
vania lines, the Chesapeake and Ohio
railway, the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road, the Norfolk and Western rail-
road, the Kanawha and Michigan. and
the Louisville and Nashville railroad
was called for New York City, where
they were Joined in conference by rep
resentatives OF Strong financial in
terests." The outcome OF the confer
ence was that the Chesapeake and Ohio
was induced to withdraw from It's an
nounced attitude and agree to Join
the other railroads in filing new tar
IFS, with advanced rates, with the In
terstate Commerce Commission.
AS the dispatches published at the
time reported, the Chesapeake and
Ohio held out against the rate increase
until the Pennsylvania lines agreed to
file new tariffs increasing It's rates to
correspond with the increases former
~ proposed for the West Virginia coal
carrying roads,
The situation, so far as 1t affects
West Virginia and its coal industry,
has not been benefited by the. new
status in the slightest 1t is not en-
tirely certain that the new proposition
has not made a bad prospect worse. [.
The Pennsylvania lines apparently
do not go into the contest for adj
eanced rates in good faith. They mere
ly project themselves into the lineup
for the purpose OF inducing another
important carrier to become a part Of
its own scheme. The Pennsylvania
does not want its own rates increased.
Had 1t so wished. 1t would have pro-
posed increased rates at the earle,
date when 1t induced the Norfolk and
Western and other West Virginia
roads to give notice to their shippers
that they would increase their rates.
They are in the rate increasing game
temporarily only, to satisfy the demand
OF the Chesapeake and Ohio.
Not wanting its rates increased, 1t
can not be imagined that the Penn.
stylvania lines will vigorously press
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission any such demand. And. even
IL 1t should honestly and vigorously
contend for the increase, 1t Is incon-
ceivable that the Interstate Com
mcrce Commission would find the de-
n,and justifiable. Or even in the
event that the commerce commission
