GERMANS CLAIM THAT APPROXIMATELY TWO EN GLISH DIV SONS WERE MANIPULATED IN THE RETIREMENT.
By Associated Press.

LONDON, Dec. 13.-The British and French troops have successfully retired from Serbia across the Greek frontier. By arrangements with Greece a clear road is left for the Allies to retire on Saloniki, which is being organized as base The Ger mans claim that approximately two English divisions were annihilated" during the retirement London con siders this an exaggeration. Athens and Saloniki accounts say the retreat was orderly and without heavy losses. By the destruction os railway bridges and roads and stubborn rear guard actions, in one of which two conn panies of the Inniskilling regiment valorously sacrificed themselves, say ing their comrades, the Bulgarians were kept at fairly safe distance. The question arises whether the Bull garians and Teutons will follow the Allies into Greece and what action Greece would take, if they should.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13-It is ex- pected that Austria's reply to Ameri- cas- Ancona note will have arrived by the end of the week. This view was expressed after the Austrian embassy charge had conferred today with Sec retary Lansing. It is understood the charge attempted to gain informally for the information of Austria an ur- derstanding of what would satisfy th United States. It is said the charsv did not indicate the, probable .acttn of Austria, explaining he has not heard from the foreign office upon the subject
 Officials are interested in the press dispatches reporting Austria as un- able to communicate with the com mander of the submarine which sank the Ancona. It is suggested the yes sel might aave been destroyed. Should this be the case, it is believed the fact will play an important part in Aus tria's consideration of its reply to the United States.
 Before acting regarding the recent attacks on American tankers in the Mediterranean by submarines flying the Austrian flag, the State depart ment will await detailed information.
 Text of the Note.
 The text of the American note to Austria-Hungary regarding the sink ing Of the Italian steamship Ancona, reveals formal demand by the Unit ed States for prompt Announcement of the illegal and indefensible" act for punishment of the submarine commander and for reparation by the payment of indemnity for the killing and injuring of innocent American citizens.
 These demands follow a statement informing Austria Hungary that "the good relations of the two countries must rest upon a common regard for law and humanity" The note arraigns the smelling and torpedoing of the liner as 'inhumane," "barbarous," and "wanton slaughter" of helpless men, women and children"
 In official and diplomatic circles the communication is regarded as be ing the most emphatic declaration which has come from the United States since the beginning of the European war. No attempt is made to conceal the fact that unless repara- ton is made and the demands quickly compiled with, diplomatic relations between tEe two countries will be in grave danger of being severed.
 The text of the note, which was handed to the Austrian foreign offices last Thursday by Ambassador Pen field, follows:
 The Secretary of State to Ambassa-
 dor Penfeld:

 D. C., December 6.

could nourish only seven Of them at
a time. Rather than let the odd pig
starve it was given to a little girl. who
raised it by hand. She Joined the
Decatur County Pig club as ham and
bacon member and kept close record
Of the feed given and weights Of her
pig, which was not pure bred.
When the pig was ten months old It
was killed according to the instructions
sent her. It weighed 225 pounds net
when dressed as meat and yielded also
a fifty pound can Of lard. The pig
cost less than Eve bushels Of corn to
produce, as 1t was raised on kitchen
waste in addition to the corn.
The other seven pigs raised by the
mother and left to rustic with her were
killed at the same time and averaged
only eighty-seven pounds net when
dressed as meat.
This instance shows how literally the
pig will repay proper care and feed
by gaining rapidly in weight.
