whelming numbers Of Bulgari-

Ter open for military operation
by both sides.

be Serbians who escaped into
Albania and reached Adriatic

success of the entente represen-
tations at Athens states that
King Constantine personally re-
ceived the ministers of the quad
ruple powers and conveyed to
them assurances which are view
ed as satisfactory. Quickly fol

communication issued this even
ing, dealing with the retreat of

After sustaining violent
attacks delivered by the enemy
in overwhelming numbers, the
tenth division succeeded, with the
help of reinforcements in retir-
ing to strong position from
Lake Dorian westward toward
the valley of the Vardar in con-
junction with our allies.
"The division is reported to
have fought well against very
heavy odds and it was largely
due to the gallantry of the
troops, especially the Munster
Fusileers, the Dublin Fusileers
and the Connought Rangers
that the withdrawal was sue
cessfully accomplished.
Owing to the mountainous
nature Of the country, it had
been necessary to place eight
field guns fer the purpose of

it was impossible to withdraw
them.

1900 men"

REPUBLICANS WANT THEIR
CONVENTION TO PRECEDE DENIS

Washington, Dec. 13.-Senti-
ment began to develop today in
the Republican national commit
tee in favor of holding the Re-
publican convention before the
Democrats meet to choose presi-
Dental candidate. The Demo
cratic convention will begin in
ST. Louis, June Ia.
The committee will meet in
formal session here tomorrow
to decide the time and place for
holding the Republican conven-
ton. Members who want an
early convention favor having
the party get all the political adj
vantage it can by holding the
first convention. Those who
favor a date after the Demo-
cratic convention contend the
Republican party should not
frame its line of attack until the
Democrats have made their nom
nation. Another argument
used against the proposal for an
early convention is that several
states hold primaries for the
election of convention delegates
in June.
Talks about the convention
city was largely divided today
between Chicago, st. Louis and
San Francisco. Philadelphia,
some Of the committee seem to
feel, was virtually out of the
race.
