French had tried to reach the Serb
fans; the long arms Of their cavalry
scouting parties and the even longer
fingers Of their "seventy-1ves" had
been feeling, feeling through the
Serbian mountains in an effort to
come In contact with the Serbian right
and thus save Monastir and southern
Serbia. But the Serbian right had
been turned back; the Serbians In
their hillside trenches where had
seen them week before, had been
routed. Krivolak. therefore, was no

serbians and the French were retir-

We dined at long table In a stone
shed. The shed was new. It had
been built next to the railway station,
for dining room for General Ball
laud's staff, the general himself oc-
cupying the station. This was the
first day the stone shed had been used
and DR. vassa1. director of the medical
corps OF General Baillaud's division,
who sat at the head of the table, told
us he was very proud to have us ded-

"The cement Is not yet dry" he
said, "but bur men, worked hard to
put up the building put OF such rough

LONDON, Jan. 18.-Buigarian
troops are being withdrawn from A.
bania because Of dissensions among
tho 'Austro-Germans and the Bulqars,
according to wireless dispatch from
Rome today.
"Advices from Athens state that
Bulgaria and Turkey are inclined to
conclude peace with the allies"
added the Rome message.
The Rome report was not confirmed
from any other source and was re-
ceived with the greatest reserve here.
Recent advices were that the Bull
garian troops were pressing against
the Serbians west of the Albanian
town of Elbassan.
If Bulgarian troops have been with
drawn from Albania, neutral observ-
ers believe this is either because they
are needed for the Salonka campa ign
or because Bulgaria fears their pres
ence In Albania may cause Italy to
begin an energetic campaign In the
Balkans.

afternoon this side of W. NJ Tolley's

Faucet had made trip in the car
Tuesday night and had breakdown
near Mr. Tolley's and walked the
greater part of the way to town.
The Central Auto Co. sent man
out to bring the car in and while en-
route the car caught fire in some way
from the carborator and when it was
discovered was all ablaze underneath.
The man in charge of the car. it is
stated, went to Mr.. Tolley's and secured
a fire extinguisher and had the car
about put out when one of the joints
in the pipe to the gasoline tank be-
came unsauldered and let the gas run
out in the pan. This added new fuel
and within few minutes the car was
in a light blaze again. The man con-
tinued his fight until some cartridges
Dr. Faucet had left in the car from
his last hunting trip, began to explode,
when the fight was abandoned. DR..
Faucet carried $3.50 insurance on the
car with e. D. Looney & Co.
