TWO IRISH REGIMENTS
 SACRIFICED THEMSELVES
To Cover the Retreat of Their Com
 rades in Serbia.

London, Dec. 13, S.35 D. Inflow two companies of the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, another of the Irish reg iments forming the British divisions which are making a fighting retire. ment from Serbia sacrificed them- comrades is told by the wounded, who have reached British headquarters in Macedonia. The British according to the correspondent of Reuters Tele- gram company, in despatch from the British headquarters, were outnum- bered ten to one by the BuIgarians. who were well supplied with rifles and machine guns. Last Monday morning they were awakened by a heavy bom- bardment by the Bulgarians, who pour ed a hail of shot and shell on them. Splintering rocks intensified the effect of their fire.
 The Bulgarian infantry then ad- vanced to the attack in massed forma- tion and were punished severely, but the scarcity of British guns did not permit them to take proper toll of the advancing Bulgars. The British emptied their rifles rapidly into the crush and tried to stem the tide with their bayonets, but were overborne by sheer weight of numbers and the po- sition was lost. Similarly. the second line was lost and the British fell back on the third line of defenses
 Two companies of Inniskillings, how ever, held on to the ridge known as kevis Crest and kept back the Bull garians the whole morning, although they were supported by rifle fire Hard ly a man escaped, but their stand inn pressed and delayed the Bulgars, thus giving the British much needed time to complete defensive dispositions in the third line, where the Bulgars were finally held up for four days.
 The Bulgarians, the correspondent adds, having suffered heavily, have since then attempted no strong of- fensive up to Sunday.

 STARTS FALLING
Some Good Advice For Those
 Threatened With Badness

At this season of the year many people find their hair coming out at an alarming rate and often fear bald ness. This may very easily be the ultimate result if proper scalp treat ment is not taken at once. All ex- cessive loss of hair can be almost immediately stopped by the use twice daily of a little Parisian Sage, which invigorates and nourish the slowly dying hair roots into a renewal of healthy normal action. New hair quickly grows on the thin spots, old hair stops falling and the difference is apparent in a few days by the very look of the hair itself taking a new life, lustre and beauty. Parisian Sage can be obtained from Lee &

LOSS IN VALUE OF PURCHASING
 POWER OF GERMAN MONEY
Marks Fell to Lowest Level in New
 York Yesterday.

New York. Dec. 13.-The value or purchasing power of German money in this market as represented by marks fell to its lowest known level today, when bills of exchange on Berlin drop ped to v 1-2, a decline of a cent from the recent minimum. In substance marks, normally quoted at g 3-4 cents were worth only 19 3-S cents.
 Incidentally, Austrian exchange or xronen fell to lowest rates, but in this :aztance the decline was senti- mental rather than actual, no sales of exchange on Vienna being reported.
 The extreme weakness of exchange on the Teutonic countries was ascribed to unconfirfned rumOrs that the reich bank or imperial bank of Germany contemplates assuming command over all the gold now privately held within the empire.
