CLEAR ROAD THROUGH!
GREECE IN RETREAT TO
SALONIKI
DESTROY ROADS
BEHIND THEM I
In Rear Guard Action Two Com
panies Irish Regiment Were
Sacrificed.
London, Dec.'13.-Tho British and
French troops have successfully car
ried, out their retirement from- Ser
bia. Hy arrangements with tho Greek
government, a clear road had been
lort to fall back on Saloniki.
A jGcrinan official report, claims that
"approximately two En gliph divisions j
were annihilated" during the retire
ment. Thia is considered hero to bo
an exaggeration. Athens and Saloni
ki accounts edy. that the retreat was
carried out) in an orderly manner,
without heavy losses.
By the destruction of railway bridges
and roadB and stubbornArear guard ac
tions, the Bulgarians were kept at
a fairly sato distance. In ono rear
guard action two companies ot the In
nisskillen regiment sacrificed them
selves to save their comrades.
Tho question how. arlaos whether
the Bulgarians and Teutons intent to
follow the British and French into j
Greece and what actloh Greece ?will
.take should they do so. Tho Im
pression ls gained from Athena dla-.!
. 'patc'hes is that neitherrthe Bulgarians
.nor Turks, "a-?^^jje^ted . near the
frontier, weald be'Jv&lcomi?d In Greece;
therefore" it has :^?n* decided that to
follow tho entente1 forces, the taBk
would bo undertaken .by tho Teutons.
, 1 However, with the railway destroy
ed, it may be some days before Greece.
. is called upon to-act and by that
