BRITISH RETIREMENT
BELIEVED FORECAST
OF ATTACK IN EAST
Preparations Are Under Way
for Blow at TeutoniC Power
in the Balkans Is Indicated
by Reports

LONDON, June 1S.-Replying to ques-
lions in the house of commons as to
whether the British government had de-
cided on reprisals for the German air
raid on England, Andrew Bonar Law, of
the British war council. said the gov
eminent intended 10 take steps not only
for damaging the enemy but for pre-
venting raids on England
NEW YORK June 1S.-(By foreign
cables from European capitals. )-Devel-
opments of osme Importance apparently
are impending on the Macedonian front
following the recent Qualification of the
military situation in Greece coincldent
with the abdication of King Constantine
The most pronounced movement ts
withdrawal by the British without press
ure of their advanced positions estab-
lished some distance east of the Struma
river, on the extreme easterly end OF the
front. Several towns have been evac-
uated by them and occupied by the Bull
garians.
simultaneously comes news of pro-
nounced accommodating activity by the
entente forces in other parts of the front
notably along the Vardar in the central
sector.
1t has ben frequently pointed out by
only practicable route for successful
advance to cut the lines Of the central
powers in the Balkans and reclaim Ser
bia is UP the Vardar valley. along the
railway line there.
The present activities while they have
not developed far enough to make the
thing a certainty, none the less points
to the probability that an offensive by
General Sarrail in the only likely sector
the Vardar-ia irnrni-
snent.
Had this been decided upon, II would
be a natural move for the British TO
relinquish the advanced ground they held
along the Struma and withdraw, as they
have done, to the bridgehead near the riv-
er nearby thereby strengthening the en-
tente right flank for defensive purposes
while the offensive stroke was deliver
ed by the centr. All aggressive move
1t would seem has now been made pos
sible by the removal of the menace to
| the allies from the rear, which existed
as long as Constantine was on the Greek
throne and his pro-German political ad-
visers in control of the Greek military
situation.
Both the Russian army and the Rus
sian navy are giving more evidence of
aggressive intent. Recent German and
Austrian statements have instanced in
creasing activities by the Russian mill
tary forces in various sectors, notably
Volhynia and Galicia, where the great
Brussilloff offensive was in full swing
at this time a year ago.
The Russian naval arm also has been
so largely in evidence in Baltic waters
that Berlin announces it has been found
necessary to carry out extensive ali
raiding operations on Russian bases in
this area.
In the Arras battle area the British
are subjected to a heavy counter attacS
this morning on the new position they
won last Thursday east of Monchy ls
Preux. They held fast to the main
point, the important infantry hili but
had to fal back from some positions they
had established farther in advance.

Fifty-one More Men Needed to Fill Vacancies Caused by Discharges of Married Men.

elusive were today notified by the local board to appear for physical ex- animation on November 27 at nine O. | clock a. m., says Tuesdays Fayette- vile Democrat.
 The call was made necessary by dis charges of married men with depen- dents who had already been certified and ordered to the cantonment under the first draft The local board had been advised to fill it's first net quota as rapidly as possible.
 Because of the fact that the local board has not been advised of the status of some men already certified, it is not known how many more will be needed but it is believed that the number required can be secured from the fifty notified today. Four negroes accepted in the first draft have not yet been sent to the cantonment. The quota is to befilled under the regu- lations governing the first draft and not under the new classification an- nounced recently.

was swooped down upon by the f1otil-

prepared to meet the enemy as best
he could. The British guns had long
range and Paul Jones determined to
fight close. He brought his ships up
to the enemy until the muzZles Of his
guns came in contact with the enemy
ships. Then ensued one Of the most
frenzied conflicts in the history Of
naval battles, continuing from seven
to ten in the evening. Paul Jones'
position was desperate in the extreme.
His ship was so shattered that only
three guns remained effective, and he
then assaulted the enemy with hand
grenadeS which falling into the
Scraps soon set her on fire. At
length her magazine blew up killing
all near it. Pearson commanded his
officers who wanted to surrender to
! board the Richard which was also
now ablaze in several places. But
Jones and his men received them SO
warmly that they retreated. Pearson's
crew was killed, his guns unmounteG
and his ship on fire and there was moth

THIS MOTHER GAVE HER ALL
Touching Incident of Sacrifice on the
Altar Of Her Country's Need.

One of the touching incidents of
General Lyons march to Wilson creek
was that of a Tennessee mother bring
inc her little boy to the captains tent
and offering him for the service of his
country. The boys father had been
killed in battle and the mother and
bov were alone in the world. The
bright eyes and alert bearing Of the
little chap, for he was scarcely thir-
Teen years of age, caught the eye OF
the captain and he asked what the
nov could do. 81 can drum" he said
proudly stretching himself to his full
height. And he could as the ffer
soon found out as he played ''The
Flowers of Marlborough" most diff
fcult piece to, follow with the drum.
MADAM, I'll take the boy" said the
eaptain. The mother kissed her boy
and turning to the captain said:
Bring him back, captain" and to the
nov she said as she placed her hand
on his eager little head, God bless
YOU my boy. You're all | have left,
but l give you to my country, and
drum right bravely for the boys in
blue" During the heavy fatiguing
marches from Rolla to Springfield it
was amusing to see the lOng-legged
ffpr Wading through the mud with our
little drummer hero mounted on his
hack. During the fight at Wilson
creek the CHEEKY fife and brave drum
beat time for the soldier boys in bat
tie. The fight led down into a deep
ravine and it was not long before our
drummer boy was in the midst of the
FRAY. That night the detail on guard
duty near the ravine thought he
heard family the sound Of drum. He
listened in the moonlight and when
the relief came he asked permission to
90 in search of the little drummer lad.
He followed the sound Of the drum
and soon found our hero seated on the
ground with his back against a tree
and his faithful drum hanging on
bush. He dropped his drum sticks as
the guard came up and exclaimed
''Oh, corporal, I am so glad to see you
