PARIS, Doc. 11.-ConfirmatIon
came from authoritative sources to-
night Of reports that the allies are
evacuatIno Serbia. At the sAms time
It was announced Anplo-French forces
have no Intention OF abandoning the
Balkan campaign. On the contrary, II
was stated, several additional army
corps will be transported to Sa!onika
for an offensive movement tho aitles
arc expected to begin ear,y next
spring, II not this winter.
i II was rumored General Joffre him
self may visit SaIonika within short
time to Inspect the situation and con-
fer with General Sarratl.
Information reaching here from re-
liable sources tonight said King Con-
stantlne thus far has failed to make
a satisfactory reply to the Anglo
French demands. In announcing the
allies decision az to Balkan affairs,
the Paris papers this evening were
frankly pesslmistic and even urge
that the allies take sharp steps to
end at once the kings "evasIon."
The decision against abandonment
Of the Balkan campaign was reached
at today's session Of the allied war
council. Sir Edward arey, British
foreign minister, Lord Kitchener, Pre-
mier BRAND and General Gaiiieni, the
French war minister were In lengthy
conference after the council adjourn
ed. When their meeting ended, an
official statement was given out de-
clarlng the allies had reached COM
plete agreement on urgent problems
Of the war.
A few hours later tho government
permitted It to become known that
the allies had definitely decided
against withdrawal from Salon'ka. It
was stated at the same time that the
military situation In the Balkans at
present makes It virtually Imperative
that the cxpeditionary forces retire
from Serbia at this time because they
are outnumbered two to one by the
combined German and Bulgarian
armies.
British troops, Il was understood to-
NIGHT, will make up the largest share
Of the relnforcements TO be sent to
salonlka. whether the decision reach
ed today carries with It a pfan for
withdrawal Of Angio-French troops
from the DardaneIles, could not be
learned. II is assumed here that Gen.
oral sarralPs army will continue to
retreat, possibly to the protection OF
the allied war ships at ealonfka and

nation, but 1t Is realized here that q
sudden change at Pekin, coming at a
time when Chino-Japanese affairs are

tention Of the world to new interna-
tional crisis in the far east.
It is feared here that revolutionary
loutbursts will occur throughout the
Chinese republic when the reports
filter through to the. masses. The re-
cent trouble at Shanghai, when rebels
attacked the arsenal and seized q
Chinese cruiser. was generally con-
isidered a protest against reports that
the government was drifting toward a
monarchy.

declaration that their governments
would regard as unfriendly any change
In the form Of government that might

that China was to again become a

Yuan is recognized as the strong
man OF China He is f1fty-seven years

His efforts to unite the 400,OO0,O0O
Chinese under the republic has at

attracted attention through his re-
Organization of the army following the
Japanese war. He avoided participa-
Ition in the Boxer uprising. With the
ascension Of the child emperor, Pu vi.
to the throne, Yuan was dismissed
from power because of his control over
the army. Later when the anti-Man-
ichu rebellion broke out in 1911, he
was prevailed upon to return and as
