Bulgarians and Germans
Applying Pressure on
Strumitza Front
SERBIANS UNABLE TO
OFFER RESISTANCE
Defeated Army Is Fleeing
Through Albania With
Munitions Behind

London. Dec. 8.-With the Serbian
armies in retreat behind the Alban--
Ian and Montenegrin frontiers, it Is
reported the bulk of the German and
Bulgarian armies is being concentrate
Cd against the allied armies holding
the southeast corner Of Serbia. Heavy
fighting has been in progress there for
the last few days.
There is no confirmation of hints
from various sources that the French
troops have been forced definitely to
abandon the positions held by them
since the beginning of the campaign.
The fall of Monastir and the south.
ward progress Of German and Bulgar-
ian forces, however, have placed the
northern wing of the French expedi-
ton in precarious situation, and
withdrawal from the angle formed by
the Vardar and Gerna rivers apparent
ly has begun.
Constant arrival of fresh forces and
war materials at Saloniki gives assur-
ance that the allies have no intention
of abandoning their forces in this re-
gion.
Although the Bulgarians have an
nounced the capture of Ipek, Montene-
gro, the pursuing Austrian and Bull
garian armies evidently are confront
ed with harder task on the Monten-
egrin frontier than elsewhere. The
Montenegrins continue to offer spirit-
ed resistance and to check the invad-
ers wherever possible by sharp count
er attacks. In Albania the Serbians,
who had been compelled to leave be-
hind quantities Of war materials, ap-
pear incapable of organized resistance.
Even an orderly retreat is made diff
cult, as the Serbians are encountered
with large numbers of civilians and
prisoners, and according to some re-
ports have been set upon by AL
banians.
The latest dispatches state that the
French are bringing heavy guns in
to action in the Strumitza section,
causing the Bulgarians to retire with
heavy losses. A battle of large proper
tions between the Bulgarian and Fran
co-French troops appears to be pend
in.

BY A SUBMARINE
TANK STEAMER Is SAID TO HAVE
BEEN ToRPEDoED IN THE
MEDITERRANEAN.

washington, ID. c., Dec. S.-Conf1ict-
Ing dispatches from Rome and Lon
don as to the American tank steam
er Communipaw, one reporting her
sunk off Tobruk, Tripoli, the other
announcing her arrival at Alexandria,
Egypt, left officials here in suspense.
Oficial advices from Ambassadors
Page at Rome reporting that an
American ship s'held to have been the
Standard Oil tanker Communipaw,"
had been torpedoed and sunk, were
received during the forenoon by the
state department. Ambassador Pages
source Of information was not divulg-
ed by his message, but 1t was thought
likely that he had received the same
report as that transmitted In press
dispatches last night from Rome and
that the message received from him
today might simply have been delayed
in transit.
No confirmation Of the news dis
nights press cablegram from Rome,
reporting the Communipaw's safe ar
rival at Alexandria, had been receiv-
ed by the department.
More details as to the Communi-
paw. as well as the Standard OH tank
er Petrolite, reported attacked by a
submarine in the Mediterranean last
Sunday morning. are being awaited.
A full account Of the attack on the
Petrolite might give the state depart
ment no basis for taking up the Incl
dent, If 1t were confirmed that the
vessel fed after warning.
Consular and diplomatic agents Of
the United States In Europe, 1t was
assumed, would cable additional de-
tails at the earliest possible moment,
although they had not been requested
to do So
Tobruk is $50 miles or more, by d.
rect sail, from Alexandria. While the
date of the reported attack on the
Communipaw, which was said to have
resulted In sending her to the bot
tom, was not given in Rome dis
patches, 1t was pointed out that had
the Communipaw left Alexandria i'm
mediately after her arrival, she would
not have been able to reach Tobruk
until late last night
TO CHASE SUBMARINE.
Rome, Dec. S.-The British author-
ties have given orders that the squad
ron of warships at Malta and the
Egyptian squadron give chase to the
submarine reported to have sunk the
Communipaw. Descriptions Of this
submarine thus far received indicate
that she was Of an unusually large
size.
The activities of submarines in the
Mediterranean have caused inquiries
to be made regarding the American
schooner Albania, which sailed from
Gallipoli on Friday with supplies for
Albania. The schooner is reported to
have reached an Albanian port On
board her were William II. Howard.

ALLIES NOT BEATEN.

Amsterdam, Dec. - A long speech
delivered by Count julius Andrassy,
former premier of Hungary, at the lat
est session of the Hungarian chamber,
dealt mainly with the possibility OF
peace, according to dispatch from
Budapest. This message quotes Count
Andrassy as follows:
ut Is the human duty to make peace
at the earliest possible moment. am
completely convinced that we shall be
able to conquer the most extreme re.
sistance of our enemies and continue
the war until our adversaries are fore
ed to ask for peace, but it would be a
blessing If it were possible to conclude
peace before this last moment comes.
IF, despite these considerations, I
do not now espOuse definite action to-
wards peace, the reason Is that am
convinced the time Is not yet ripe. The
fact that on the other side do not
see any sign of possibility Of the con-
clusion of peace at present. prevents
me from all action toward peace.
all signs demonstrate that
our adversaries have not yet acknowl-
edged the present result of the war
and they are doing everything, In or
der, perhaps, yet to obtain a change in
the fortune OF war. The declarations
Of the French premier and the
speeches made in the house of COM
mons also offer in the present circum-
stances little promise of an early
peace"
