ANGLO-FRENCH ARE
 LEAVING SERBIA
IT IS BELIEVED THEIR DESTINA. TON IS IN THE REGION
 OF SALONlkI.

London.--The Anglo-French forces nave commenced general retire ment from Southern Serbia, and it IS believed their destination is the re- zion of Saloniki. This retirement was necessitated by the superior forces which the Bulgarians and Germans op- posed to the allies and to a threat of an outfianking movement from Pe- troVo, where the Bulgarians have ar rived and also to protect their line of communication from Bulgarian ir- regulars who had crossed the Greek frontier.
 Both the British and the French forces, which are well supplied with artillery and machine guns, engaged in four days battle in which they ln- ficted heavy losses on the Bulgarians, who fought with desperation and the greatest courage. Attack after attack was repulsed, but the Bulgarians still came on and each evening the allies fell back to new positions, where events of the day before were re peated
 The question arises whether the Bulgarians and Germans will follow the allies across the Greek frontier and what attitude the Greek govern ment will adopt. King Constantine has promised to use his army to pro- tect the retiring force if they under take to re-embark, and has shown his good faith by preventing Bulgarian raiding bands from destroying the al lies communications, but it is doubt ful whether the allies will agree to evacuate Saloniki, which, under the guns of their ships, would prove a good defensive position and a base from which further operations could be undertaken. Negotiations between Greece and the entente allies are pro- ceeding, and the feeling here and at Paris and Rome is given briefly in the following paragraph, printed in large type by the Evening Star:
 The moment is approaching when the Greek government must decide. The allies now, more than before. re- quire freedom of movement at Saloni- Xii. Hitherto their demands had been met by procrastinauion and a refusal now will mean war"

U. 5. SENDS NOTE
 TO AUSTRO- HUNGARY
ASK DISAVOWAL OF SUBMARINE ATTACK UPON ITALIAN
 LINER ANCONA.

Washington.-The United States has sent Austria-Hungary a note ask, ing for disavowal of the submarine attack upon the Italian liner Ancona assurances that such an act will nol be repeated, some degree of punish ment for the commander of the SUD marine and reparation for the Ameri, can lives lost The communication was sent to Ambassador Frederick C. Penfeld at Vienna.
 Friendly but firm terms character ize the document, which is said to make particular point of prompt as, surance for the future safety of Amer ican lives. Austria-Hungary has never informed the United States whether the commanders of it's submarines had been given instructions similar to those which the German government issued after the Lusitania tragedy. It is said the note referred particularly to the charge that shells killed o1 wounded some passengers after the ship had halted and asked for an ex- planation.
 Secretary Lansing acted with the approval of President Wilson. It ls said that the brief, vigorous document was so drafted as to attempt settle. ment of the controversy at once with out bringing on series of communi- cations such as followed the sinking of the Lusitania
 High officials believe the situation calls for grave consideration. The ar. fair has become complicated since the note was dispatched by reports of at. tacks on American oil vessels in the Mediterranean, presumably by Aus trian submarines.
 The Ancona was sunk in the Medi- terranean sea on November g. The only testimony of a native American survivor is deposition by Dr. Cecile Greil of New York. Dr. Greil asserts specifically that the liner was torpe- doed while the men, women and chil- dren in the cabin and steerage were scrambling to get into small boats. l. is belis"ed her statements played an importa--t part in the State Depart ment's decision.

6ALLIPOLI FRONT
 SNEPTBY BLIZZARD
WINTER PROVING TO BE SEVERE TEST FOR TURKS AND
 AUSTRALIANS.
MANY POSITIONS EVACUATED
Claims Prisoners Taken By AustraI. ians Are Poorly clad-lt Is Also Reported Turkish Troops Are
 on Half Rations.

London.-Winter in the Dardanelles Is proving to be a severe test for the Australians and Turks alike. Reuters S eorresoondent at this front reports that the first blizzard of early Decem. ber found the Turks unprepared. It was necessary for them to evacuate several positions, as the trenches were flooded
 The bodies of several Turkish sol- diers and many dead mules were washed into allied trenches. Prisoners taken by the Australians were poorly clad and, the correspondent says, re. ported the Turkish troops were on nalf rations.
 The colonial troops, including the Maoris from New Zealand withstood the cold, although many of them had never seen snow before The British authorities believe that owing to their hardy physique and excellent equip ment, the colonials will get through the winter satisfactorily.
 Turkish activities recently have been comparatively unimportant. Such attacks as have been made have not been pushed. Severe weather is expected through January and Feb ruary.

DANIELS OUTLINES
 NAVY PROGRAM
WOULD SPEND HALF BILLION DOLLARS IN THE NEXT
 FIVE YEARS.
SEEK MANY SUBMARINES s
For New Ships and Completion of Those Already Authorized Reaches Total of $502, ,4a2, ,214-Large Ap-
 propriation For Ammunition.

shington.-Details of the half billion dollar navy building program under the five-year continuing plan recommended to Congress are con tained in the annual report of Seere. tary Daniels, made public. The re- port shows that for the first time h the history of the department the sec retary's recommendations increase the expenditures proposed by the general board. In this connection the secretary says:
 My recommendation of fve-year program embraces the same number as proposed by the general board in the distribution it made in the five year program of dreadnought, battle cruisers, scouts and destroyers. 1 rec ommend S5 coast submarines as against 58 recommended by the gen eral board. For additional reserve ammunition, my recommendation is S25, 100000, whereas the general board recommends S11,000, 900. They rec ommend something more for other craft. My total for the five years is S502,482,214. The general boards to- tai is s499, 9,S76, 900, a very slight differ ence for the five years. though the boards recommendation for the first year is much larger than the depart ment's estimate
 The five-year program for new ships and completion of those already au- thorized reaches grand total of s502.- 482, PA. with large appropriations for reserve ammunition and aviation.
 The general board was called upon for advice in this connection, and the department has accepted it's recon mendations as regards numbers of capital shIps. As regards their dis tribution over a fye-year period, It was concluded, in view of all the cir eumstan ces, that it would be best to make this as nearly uniform as might be. This course has obvious practi- cal advantages, particularly in view or the present congested condition of the snipbuilding industry in this country Moreover, since the maximum rate of expenditure upon the capital ships, which take some years to build in any case, will not be reached immediately. it enables us 10 concentrate more at first upon submarines and other quick ly built craft, so that we will get earlier returns for our expenditure Tn the shape of completed vessels"

TWO TOTS IN A TOY SHOP
Hope in the Eyes of His Older Sister, Aged Six.

She was six if she was a day; she had little fat back in a little black
 coat and her wisps of red hair
 matched her red tam-o'shanter. In | her firm hand she held a struggling l boy about year younger, and they were getting into the elevator at a 1 big department store and making for | toys"
 Children are not allowed, unaccom-
 panied by guardians, in most large shops, but such was her air of re- sponsibility, of decorum, that it would have been a bold fioorwalker who | dared to question her.
 Nor, evidently, was it her first visit.
 The boy, still held in leash, ran in front ana made straight for the space devoted to Santa Claus, his reindeer and his sleigh, piled with toys. There was a background of fir and cedar and a huge Christmas tree, but the pair sat down before the fascinat- ing old fellow in his red robe, his long white beard, holding his big whip, and from his face the small boy Oio Aot tui II HUH WOi oui plllS III oOl- emn adoration.
 Across the room was a creche; also wonderful and beautiful thing. The infant Jesus in the manager, the moth CT in her blue robes, St. Joseph, with his staff, the three kings resplendent. The children had been perfectly still for fifteen minutes. looking at Santa Claus, when the little girl whis- pered to the boy. He squirmed, strug- gled but she was too much for him. She dislodged him from his seat, dragged him to the creche, and with motherly, Irish piety, pressed him on his knees.
 Reverently she described the holy group, then would incite devotion from more human motive. See the COW, Denny; you mind the COW we used to milk last summer at the farm when we went on the fresh air? See the goat, Denny; you mind the goat in our alley? It's his pitcher" But Denny whined and pulled and pulled to be back again to his idol.
 The little girl looked up. Her sigh was that given by every woman since the beginning, for every man for whose soul she holds herself respon- sible.
