been retaken by the Serbians. With
the French holding the Krivolak- RADIO
a-Strumnitza line, and with the
Serbia1s holding Neles, Uskub would
form a dangerous salient, which pru-
dence could hardly allow the invaders
20 hold According 20 a dispatch 20
"Le Natin" Of Paris, Cskub was aban-
doned with the object OF drawing on
the Bulgarians and enabling the Serb
ans at Neles TO envelop them IN the
north.
Around Strumnitza fierce fighting IS
taking place The French, says one
report, have occupied the village OF
Tirtel. But a Sofia dispatch to the
Overseas News Agency says that Turk
ish troops have engaged and repulsed
an Anglo-French force near Strum-
nitza, and adds:
bulgarian and Turkish mountain
artillery has done great execution.
Two thousand prisoners, among whom
were troops Of oil colors, have arrived
at Sofia

Entente Allies, is emphasized in in
formation which has reached the "Mes-
sagero," Of Rome, which states that the
Allied forces landed at Salonica are
insufficient and that thirty or forty
days will be required to place adequate
achievements en- the fighting front.
In the meantime, II says, the Serbian
army may retire safely even as fer as
the Montenegrin mountains. awaiting
more favorable opportunity for tax
ing the offensive.
