 Under tne pressure the French have withdrawn from the Krivolak salien, and at last accounts had taken up a position at Demirkapon in a deep gorge about 20 miles from the Greek frontier, through which the Saloniki railway runs. Here they were attack cd by the Rulgarians who, according to the French reports, were repulsec.
 Apparently the Germans are deter mined tc crush the little force which went to the assistancecf the Serbians and which is being reinforced. The retirement of the allies to Demirka- pou has led to the report that they 1n- tend to abandon the Balkan enter prise, but the continued landing o> troops at Saloniki would seem to contradict this There is strong military cpinien here that SaIonik. should be held as base for future op- erations in the Near East.

SUBMARINE LOSSES
INVOLVED In DOUBT

London. Oct. Ia desire for alb
solute precision was advanced by Ar
thur j. Baltour. first lord of the ad-
miralty in the house of commons as
the reason for not making public
figures on German submarine losses.
Mr.. Balfour expressed great sym.
pathy with the desire for such infor-
nation. but said that the difficulty
Of satisfying curiosity on the subject
arises from the inevitable margin Of
doubt which attaches to any attempt
to estimate the numbers of enemy
submarines destroyed and the conse-
quent impossibility of giving accu.
rate statistics.
We have every graduation" be
added, from absolute certainty.
through practical assurance. down to
faint possibility. Facts like these
are not fitted for statistical state
ments Should the admiralty con-
fine itself to cas- e of absolute cer-
tsinty. we undoubtedly would be IN.

ed all cases of reasonable possibility
we might be exaggerating, and no
defensible line can be drawn bstween
