LONDON. Dec. 1.-THE latest news
from the Balkans indicates that the
Allies are still falling back but with
out suffering the losses endured on
the first days Of the retreat when the
pursuing Bulgarians attacked rear
guards repeatedly. Paris reported that
in these actions the French inflicted
heavy losses on the pursuers by their
artillery fire.
The British public received shock
in the form OF Saloniki despatch
stating that Gievgeli had been occu-
pied by two divisions of German
troops. Later reports. however, state
that this important position is not yet
within the range of the invaders gun.
Gievgeli is on the Greek frontier near
the Nardar river and commands the
railroad north from Saloniki. The
town first came into prominence dur
ing the present war as headquarters
OF the typhus hospital of Dr.. James
/. Donnelly, Of New York. who died in
Nish in February.
The diplomatic negotiations with
Greece seem no nearer settlement al
though the retreat OF the Allied troops
makes some definite reply from Athens
hourly more vital. In military circles
II is considered of primary importance
that Saloniki be retained as a base
for future operations even though the
Allied troops are forced to take refuge
under the guns Of the fleet. 1t is gem
orally conceded the present forces Of
the Allies are inadequate to cope with
Bulgarians and the central powers,
whose armies. according TO state
ment credited to Premier Radoslayoff
Of Bulgaria. now number one million
men. re-
The final day for recruiting under
the plan of the Earl OF Derby finds no
diminution in the crowds which be-
siege the recruiting stations. In the
rush medical examination has become
as perfunctory as the signing Of the
recruits name and 1t Is expected many
of those who have come forward will
be rejected when called into active SER
vice.
