fishes a dispatch from Saloniki cor
roborating the report that all French
and British troops have quit Serbian
territory. having retired into Greece.
Notwithstanding the difficulties of the
retreat and the determined attack of
superior forces of Bulgarians. the dis
patch says. the allies saved virtually
all their ammunition and other sup

losses.
The assertion made in an official
Bulgarian communication that the
Franco-British line had been cut Is
not borne out by the correspondent OF
the Temps, who says:
Efforts to envelop or cut our lines
altogether failed"
The latest information obtainable
by the Havas correspondent at Athens
was that the allied front extended as
far as Kukus, in Greece, about TWEEN
ty-fve miles north Of Saloniki. The
retreat is being carried on under IA
yorable conditions, enabling the allies
to preserve all their wal material.
