ENTENTE'S FORCES NEAKING SALON' Iv I -Buhrais Said to Have I'rossi;! Jrct'K Frontier in l'lirsuii Kaikau Situation Further Complicated. London. Dec. 14.?'I he next big ba: tie of the war probably will be fought in Greece, despite the efforts of the Hellenic king and government to save their country from the horrors of war. The British and Frencn forces have made good their retirement down the Vardar valley and the approaching Salonika where reinforcements are being landed, whi'e reports received in Paris and Rome say that the Bulgarians have crossed the Greek frcniier in pursuit. Reports of this action by the Bulgarians come somewhat as a surprise, as it had been thought that such a move by them would provoke j the Greeks and that consequently if j the entente allies are ronowea at an j the task would be allotted to the Aus- j trians and Germans. Greece's situation diplomatically has' j been complicated by t'ne request of | Germany to know whether the Athens i cabinet dots not look upon the use of I Greek territory by the entente allies' as a breach of her neutrality and this inquiry is considered to foreshadow German participation in the pursuit. However, it is not believed here that the Germans have many troops in that part of the Balkans, their main forces having been diverted to the Distichuk when Russia threatened an invasion of Bulgaria. It has been again reported that the, Italians have landed an army on the Albanian coast to assist the Servians and Montenegrins. There has been more fighting on the j Gallipoli peninsula. The Turks nere claim to have repulsed an attack against their left wing at Seddul Bahr. The Turkish official accounts say nothing new has occurred a;. Kut-el-Amara, where the Turks are operating against the British who retired from the Bagdad region. This is taken in military circles here as an admission by the Turks that their attacks have failed. Private information here says previous repons of the losses th.e Turks intiicted-^&n the Britisii during the British retirement down the TisriS river have been exaggerated. The three vessels which they captured turn out to have been a tugboat and two barges. The Italians are still hammering away at t'ne Austrian positions around Oorizia. The town of Gorizia itself has again been bombarded. The appointment of Gen. Sir Horace Smith-Dormn to the supreme command of the forces operating in East Africa means that the British are taking steps in an endeavcr to clear the Germans out of the only colony that remains to them, except a small part of the Kameruns. Th? Germans are in strong force in Fast Africa, but Gen. Smitn-Dorrien, with the army that is I being raised in South Africa, the troops who are already there and those who are going from home, hopes to complete his new job in short order. The commander, like the men under him, is experienced in African warfare. REPEATS TELEGRAM EVERY HOUR tSherjff Rector Wires Gov. Manning as to Ejectment Proceedings, But Gets no Reply. The State. Greenville, Dec. 11.?None cf the nine striking operatives of Judson mill village, against whom writs of ejectment have been issued, has ye: bten put out of his nouse by Sheriff Rector.
