Drive Brilbl Across Frontier Allied Troops Appear to Be in No Danger of Being Cat Oft Fi on Base. Deo. 18 Although oatnamb erad 10 to one by the Bulgarians, who wre well supplied with am mouitiou and ruus, the British forces in Serbia have been able to reoroas tbe Greek frontier and now are said to have an open pathway Lefore them back to their base at Saloniki. Along the Albanian frontier and in Montenegro the Bulgarians and Austro 'Hungarians continue, al though slowly, their gains against the remaining Serbs and the Montenegrins. On the other war fronts there have bsen no battles o! great mag nitude. Artillery bombardments have prevailed al moat exclusively on the French, Russian and Aus-tro-Italian lines. The Turkish attaok on Kut E' Amara, where the British retreat ed from the Bagdad region, has been repulsed with heavy loiae and British reinforcements are be ing pushed forward to that point The destruction of a Zeppelin airship in the Libaa region is re- ported from retrograd. ine en tire ocew of the airship was burned to death. London, Deo. 18. The British and French troops have success fully carried out their retirement from Serbia across the Greek f ren tier, and bv an arrangement with the Greek Government a clear road has been left for them to fall back on Saloniki, which is being organized as a base . The Garman official report of today claims that "approximate ly two English divisions were an nihilated" during the retirement, bat this is considered here an ex aggeration. Accounts from Ath ens and Saloniki say thi retreat was oarried out in an orderly man cer and wtthont heavy losses. By the destruction of railway bridge? and roads, and by stubborn rear guard aotions, in jne of which two companies of the Inniskilling reg im nt saorifioed themselves to save their comrades, the Bulgar ians were kept at a fairly safe dis tance. . The question now arises wheth er the Bulgarians and Austro Germans intend to follow the British and French troops into Greece, and what action the Greek Government will take should tbey d to The impression gained from diapatchej emanatirj in Athens is that neither the Bul garians nor the Turks, who also nre reported to haye arrived near the frontier, would be welcomed in Greece, and that, therefore, if it has been deoided to follow the Entente Allies the task ,will be undertaken by Austrians and Ger mans. However, with the railway de stroyed, it may be some days be fore Greece is o lied upon to take action, and by that time the An glo-Fiencb fcrceB should be safe in th9 defenses of Saloniki and tinder the gum of their ships. The remnants of the Serbian army are still resisting the Aus. trians and Bulgarians in Albania while the Austrians are making v. ry slow progress in their effcrts to overwhelm Montenegro, where heavy fighting continues. Only small aotions have taken place oa the eastern and western fronts. On the Gailipoli Pen in aula a fall of snow is impeding the operations, although the Entente Allied ships keep things lively for the Turks wflosa attempt at an cf. fensive last week' seems to have failed A British official report says that the Turkish attacks at Kut-1-A nar a, where British reinforce mjuti are arriving, have been re puis' d. The attaoks were made .from .ill sides, but the British po sition was so strong that the Talks were unable to make any lmpres-'Sioqiooit. Bulgarians Gross Greek Border nnunmxnnuunnnuuununnnnnun Indications That Next-b'g Bit'lt Witt lie Fought About Saloniki. Deo. 14 A note cf protest has been forwarded by tbe United States to France concerning the removal from the American steam ers Carolina, Ooamo and San Juan to the Freoch cruiser Descartes of six Germans and Austrians. British and Frenoh troops are still moving baok toward Saloniki a bile the Bulgarians and Aus trians are continuing their pro gress against tbe Montenegrins and Serbians. Berlin is said to have aeked Greece whether tte new facilitiis that country has given the Entente forces have compromised Greek neutrality in any way. The great snowstorm which has prostrated telegraph lines in the east has prevented the receipt of the French official communication dealing "With the fi-jbtins in Frauoe and Belgium, aud nothing is known of the situs tion there. On the Russian front scarcely any fighting is in progress, while on the Austro-Italian line the Italians again have brought Gori zia under the fire of their artillery and have made infautry attacks on several other seotors. The Austrians are persistently answer ing the Italian guns from Gorisia There has been considerable ar tillery aotivity on the Galiopoli Pec insula and the Turks claim that near Seddnl-Bahr an Entente allied attaok was broken up and the force compelled to retreat to their trenches with great lossss. In describing the retreat of lbs Frenoh and British forces in the Balkans the Bulgarian official statement says that 07,000 Frenoh and 75,000 British, with 600, field guns, 180 mountain guns and 80 heavy howitsers, were engaged The operation! along the Vardar and Karassu occupied 10 days, and at their oonolusion, continues the statement, not a single hostile soldier remained on Macedonian soil. The pursuit of the British and French was then immediately stepped. Lexington his inEpedemlc ot Ptomaine Poisoning. Lexington, Deo. 8. -A sensation was oreated here this morning when it was learned that Police man O. W. Wright had died after a few hours illness, from what ap peared to be ptomaine poisoniDg Sis affliction was very similar to that of W. H. Baker whose funer al was held today. Officer Wright became ill late yesterday and grew rapidly worse until the end came this morning 8 o'clock. He leaves a wife aud six y. uug childreu, tbe young est of whom is less than two months old. He was a Mason nd a well liked man, as well as diligent officer. His body wa? prepared this afternoon fcr ship ment to Concord, the former home of Mrs Wright, He had bben oi; the Lexington polio fcrce rnly a little over six months." He wat 88 years old. The funeral of W. H. Raker was held from the home this morning, Rev. W. H. Willis c.n-ductif-g the services. He was n terred with Masonic honors. Within the past few days there have been four deaths from brief illness that appears to be some what puzzling Besides Wright and Raker, two Negro women hav died in a similar manner. ' A large quantity of wood alco hol is reported to have been stolen from a local manufacturing plant. and the Negro women are suppos ed to have drunk this. i Late this afternoon Join Michael, a merchant of this place, was reported in extremis. His oase likewise appears similar to thoss of Rak)r and Wright Another man whose name was not divulged by the doctor; is said to have beoomi violently ill last night in a physician's office, but quick work saved him. Policeman W. L. Reed has also been very ill for the pest 24 hours or more from the same strange affliction, Officials have been contemplate ing an levestigaeion. A pnysician of this place who was in attendance one case stated that all symtoms pointed strongly toward poisoning from denatured alcohol, but that ptomaine pois oning also produced an effect very muoh the same. n u n n n n n n xx n n u n .Why those Pains ?
