Then we will see if any of the stockholders have been active in the preparedness propa- gnada." B KSl

FRENCH RECROSS CERNA.
Bulgars Inactive, Awaiting German
 Attack Upon MOnastir.

London, Nov 27.-Monastir is still held by the servians, but the main body of the army is retiring into AL bdnia, says an Athens dispatch to Lloyd's News. [
 The retreating army, continues the dispatch, owing to the lock of anil maj transport and the absence of passable roads, has been compelled to abandon all heavy artillery. All the guns left behind have been de- stroyed.
 The Servians are concentrating in a fresh position parallel with the AL banian frontier, and have established communication with DurazzO and the Adriatic. They have consequently secured a safe revictualing base.
 The recapture of Krusevo by the Servians is reported m another Ath- ems dispatch. The Bulgarians have been inactive in this region, pending the arrival of German troops. It has been reported that the Bulgarians would make no move toward MOnas- tir because of it's nearness to the Greek frontier. leaving operations in this theater to the Germans. kruse- vo is 9 miles northwest of MOnastir.
 TeutOns Advance on Montenegro.
 Berlin dispatches say that the cam- .paign in Servia is practically com pleted. Action against Montenegro, however, will be vigorously contin- ued. Austro-German forces are ad- vancing at several points on the Mon tenegrin frontier and it is planned to wall hoRIP into their own territory and cut on their supply of ammunition.
 The French, in southeastern Servia, abandoning hope of effecting a junc- .ion with the retreating Serbs, have abandoned the left bank of the Cerna river, withdrawing to the right bank. This means also the evacuation or the positions on the Rajec river, trib- utary of the Cerna.
 News of the French retreat was contained in an official communlque issued by the Paris war office tonight.
 The Patris of Athens says that 125,0o0 allied troops have already been landed at Saloniki. These forces are abundantly supplied with arms and ammunition. 4O,OOO or 45,OOO more men are reported on the way to Saloniki. About 4,O00 are being landed daily.
 In connection with reports of Rus sian action against Bulgaria, the Bucharest newspaper, Universal, says that Russian fleet composed or nl- teen ships, including three dread- naughts, has appeared of the Bull garian coast.

 Heavy losses are also reported to nave been inflicted on the British and French troops, together with the de- structlon of some of their gun posi- tions by the Turkish artillery.
 For several days now following the arrival Of German munitions and heavy guns at Gallipoli by way of the Danube, the Turks have maintained general offensive in the hope, 1t is believed, of preventing the withdraw al of allie dtrOops, as reported, from the peninsula. |
 Most of these attacks have been re- pulsed by the British, and no report has yet been received in London re- gardlng the successes claimed tonight by the Turks. <,
 British WarShips and monitors were forced to come to the assistance of the hard-pressed troops in the Ana farta region, according to the Con- stantinople report, but their fire prov ed ineffective. One monitor is de- clared to have been forced to retire as a result of the accurate fire of the Turkish artillery.
