ALLIES TO HAVE.
 BASE AT SALONIKI
Retreat from Seryia Accomplished in Good shape, Though Two Companies Of English Troops Are Wiped Out
 in Rear Guard Action.

..Ondnr, Dec. l3.-Ihe FrancO-Bflt- ish troops. forced to completely evac- uatc Scrvja by overwhelming numbers of Rulgarian". are preparing to re- sist Bulgarian German drive on Snloniki.
 Greece has made satisfactory guar antcCs to the entente ministers at Athens, it is stated in a News agency dispatch, and Saloniki is being con- verted into a base.
 The dispatch announcing the suc- cess of the entente representations at Athens states that King Constantine personally received the ministers of the quadruplc powers, and conveyed to them assurances which are satis- factory.
 Quickly following the conference, Greek troops began to withdraw from the territory along the Saloniki rail- road. along which the allies are fall ing back. It is further reported that the majority of the Greek troops at Saloniki also will be removed.
 There is no indication that Greece will forbid the Bulgarians or Germans to enter her. territory in pursuit of the French and British. She is ex- pccted to leave the entire zone be- tween Saloniki and the Servian from tier open for military operations by both sides.
 Allies Landing More Troops. e-e At last reports. the Bulgarlans had not crossed the Greek frontier, Ihey have occupied Guevgheli and Dolran. close to the border according to an official report from Berlin, but have gone no further. Fresh forces are being landed at SalOniki for new campiagn against the Bulgarians ana Germans. Transports began unload- ing early this morning and contln- ued throughout the day. A large number of the men are said to pc servians who escaped into Albania, and reached Adriatic ports.
 The allied retreat from Serv1a IS rivalled only by the retreat from Mons. Attacked by hordes of Bull garians, well armed and equipped, II tho French and British. although un- familiar with the ground, kept their lines intact and suffered comparative ly small losses.
 The Berlin statement claims that two British divisions were annihilated, hut there is no other report to pear out this statement The British and French fought fierce rear guard ac- lions along the entire line of retreat, and kept the Bulgarians so we'll en- ga ged that tho main forces were able to make an orderly withdrawal.
 Fusillicrs Save British. One of the most violent battles oc- curred when two companies of Royal 1nniski]lin fusilliers thrown out to hold in check vastly superior forces of Rulgarians, held their ground to inc death, It was through the su- herb bravery of this little force tnat the British were able to retreat to a strong new position.
 The Aust1U-Hungarians are conun- uing their campaign against the scat tered Serbians west of Ipek, and the Montenegrins. Against the latter they are making little progress. rive hundred more prisoners nave peeh taken by the army of General von Koevess it is reported. In the last few days about 1000 captives have been taken. At Ipek. the Austrlahs located 12 heavy cannon which naa been buried by the Serbs.
