ROYAL COUPLE.
HAD A NARROW
ESCAPE LATE[Y.


Paris, Dec. 20.-Details q the mar.
row escape from death recently Of the
King and Queen Of Belgium when
German aviators threw bombs ON the
fishing village where the royal couple
now reside are printed today by the
Petit Journal.
The king and queen were coming
out Of church from mass with the rest
Of the congregation. says the papers
correspondent, when six German aero
planes appeared, flying low. Appar-
emily they were coming from Ostcnd.
The King at once told the people 70
scatter and take shelter but the aero
planes approached so rapidly that few
had time 70 comply with his instruc-
ton before the machines were over
the village. Two bombs fell Z few
yards from the king and queen, but
they, were not hit by the flying frag-
ments. The correspondent con-
tinues:
HThis is the fifth air raid which
has been absolutely unjustified since
the village Is unfortified and Is In
habited only by fishermen. What
makes it worse is that the aeroplanes
came from the section Of the German
frontier commanded ks the Prince
Of Wurttemberg. first cousin Of the
7elgian queen"

Troops Sent to Scene Of
Other Operations Says
British War Office
GREEKS AND BULGARS
IN A SLIGHT BRUSH
Occurred In Albanian Ter
ritory and Only a Few
Were Hurt
az AssocIATrp PRrss.

London, Dec. 20.-Announcement
that British troops had withdrawn
from Suvla Bay and the Anzac Cove
section of Gallipoli, forecasting
abandonment Of the project Of captur-
ing Constantinople by forcing the
Dardanelles overshadowed all war
news. While the war office declared
the withdrawment was accomplished
without loss and the Troops sent to
the scene of other operations, no an
.nouncement was made regarding the
troops at Seddul- Bahr.
1t is assumed the allies hold this
point, which is at the lower end of
Gallipoli, commanding the entrance
of the straits. From other points
nothing is reported.
Reports of a Greece Bulgarian
clash was cleared when it was an
nounced slight encounter, in which
few were hurt, occurred In Albanian
territory. Paris announced no enemy
detachment had yet crossed the Greek
frontier and Greek u1ilitaxy circles
declares the Bulgarians VIII nat enter
Greece Tor fear of prc9eking TIE
Greeks. The Germans, they say are
grateful for Greek neutrality.
WITHDRAWAL ANNOUNCED.
The following official statement
was issued here today:
"All the troops at SuvIa and Anzac,
together with their guns and stores
have been successfully transferred
with Insignificant casualties to an
other sphere of operations"
"Thank God they are safely out Of
there without serious loss" is an ex-
preston frequently heard today in
connection. with the transfer of the
troops from the Suvla and Anzac
zones to '.another sphere of opera
ton" although this is invariably cou-
pied with regrets chat It should have
been regarded as necessary to evacu-
ate the hard won footholds on the
peninsula, obtained at such heavy
cost.
The war office statement leaves the
public to draw its own conclusions al
to the destination OF these Australas
| ian and United Kingdom forces
which must be well over 100,0ot
strong, but it is widely conjecturee
that any southwark sweep on The
Teutonic or Bulgarian armies In tn,
Balkans, whether from the north
west or east, viii sooner or late
come in contact with them and tina
the transfer is connected with a de
termination on the part of the entent'
powers not to remain on the defensive
in the near Eastern theatre of wa,
longer than is requisite to assure tn
success of q onward march.

PEACE WASNOT

Premier Asquith Declined
to be Drawn Into Such
Colloquy In Commons
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, Dec. 20.-Premier Asuuith
declined to be drawn into any discus
sion of the subject Of peace this af-
ternoon in the house Of commons,
when Sir William Pollard Byies,
member for North Calford, in ques-
tion, suggested that recent debates in
the Reichstag indicated disposition
to transfer the issues Of the war from
the battlefield to the council chamber.
Sir William was anxious to know If
the government could see its way to
suggest any form of response to that
disposition.
The premier told his questioner
that the latter was quite as compe-
tent as the government to draw infer.
ences from Reichstag dates, but In
timated that the governments posi-
ton was unchanged on the matter Of
peace.
II can only refer to the public
statements I have made" added the
premier, land particularly to the an
swer 1 gave on December g.
Premier Asquith's statement On De-
cember was made in reply to re-
quest from a socialist member for q
pledge that no proposals for peace
negotiations based on the evacuation
of conquered territory should be re-
jected by the British government
without the knowledge Of parliament.
aft proposals Of a serious character
for a general peace are put forward
by the enemy governments, either di-
rectly or through neutral power
said the premier in reply, "they will
first be discussed by the allied gov
ernments. Until this contingency
arises, I cannot give any further
pledge. As soon as proposals for peace
are put forward, it will be the desire
of the government to take parliament
into its confidence at the earliest pos
sible moment"
