An Austrian aeroplane squadron
bombarded the railway station, the
electric works and points of military
Importance at AncOna ton the Adriatic
coast of Italy, and returned unframed
in the face of a heavy fire, according
to Vienna.
The official statement issued at Ber-
lin is as follows: THE AnglO-French
troops, after suffering a series of decis-
i've defeats by the army of General
TodOroff, are retreating in miserable
condition over the Greek frontier.
Their losses in men and material of
all kinds have been extraordinarily
heavy.
Three English battalions were sur
rounded by the Turks and surren-
dered, according to a Constantinople
dispatch. The English are expected to
retreat still further south.
According to information received at
Washington from Athens the Greek
government has agreed to withdraw
its troops from Saloniki
The Anglo-French evacuation of
Serbia now seems to be fact. From
both German and Greek sources comes
news that the allied armies are at, if
they have not already crossed, the
Greek frontier, and a battle on Greek
soil seems inevitable.
England intends to have an army of
100000 men under arms by April /,
1916. This decision it is said may be
regarded as an answer to Germanys
desire to make peace on terms salts
factory only to Germany.
Dispatches from both entente and
Teut0nic sources reveals crushing de-
feats to the Franco-British forces in
Serbia, with the immediate prospect
that the allies expedition will either
be annihilated or driven over the
Greek border at once. Retreat of the
French on the Vardar and two re-
treats by the British are officially an
nounced at Berlin and London. The
position of the allies in the Balkans is
more critical than ever before.
Germany will make no peace pro-
posals TO the allies, but if the entente
powers offer terms compatible with
Germany's dignity and safety, the
German government is willing to dis
cuss them. Imperial Chancellor Won
Bethmann-Hollweg so announced in
the reichstag at Berlin.
