Bulgars Stop at Greek Line. Advance Into Retreating Austrians Pushing Country—Anglo-French Toward Salonika. A Geneva despatch carries a report that German troops have invaded Greece in pursuit of the French and English. There is no confirmation of this from any source. Other rumors that ulgarian troops have crossed the bor der are officially denied by the Greek government, according to an Athens despatch, which says: “The press unanimously declares that the presence of Bulgarians in Greek Macedenia would arouse na- tional indiznation. The situation arising from the retreat, of the allies to Greek territory and the approach of Bulgarian troops is pre-occupying official circles, but competent persons consider their entry most improb- able.” According to advices from Paris, a big area of Greek territory has been devastated, the allies destroying everything as they fell back. Greece’s situation diplomatically has been complicated by the request of Germany to know whether the Ath- ens cabinet does not look upon the use of Greek territory by the entente allies as a breach of her neutrality. However, it is not believed that the Germans have many troops in that part of the Balkans, their main forces having been diverted to Rustchuk when the Russian threat of an inva- sion of Bulgaria seemed likely of early fulfillment. General von Gallwitz, with an army of 60,000 Germans, is reported in Sa- lonika advices, to have left his camp near Philippopolis and to be march- ing toward the Russian front. An official Montenegrin report says, under date of Tuesday: “A battle has begun. Our Sanjak and Herzogovina armies are engaging the Austrians. The issue is undecid- ed as yet.” eral von Koevess has penetra‘ed to the Tara river on its invasion of Montenegro, a distance of rearly twenty miles into the intericr, it was officially reported by the Aus‘iian war office. Three hundred and f:riy soldiers and 150 civilians of military age were captured. It has again been reported that the Italians have landed an army on the Albanian coast to go to the assistance of the Serbs and Montenegrins. Athens advices say that Greece has withdrawn all troops from Salonika, except one division (12,000 men), un- der Col. Guembrakakis. It is said the Austro-Hungarian consulate has ad- vised Austrian subjects to quit the city. A Bulgarian war office statement declaring that the pursuit of the en- tente forces had been stopped, says: “This is the day of liberation for Bulgarian Macedonia. “It must be stated that the French troops fought bravely—much more gallantly than the British. Our troops were opposed by 97,000 French and about 73,000 British, or more than 170,000 men all told. The allies were supported by 600 field guns, 120 moun- tain guns and 80 heavy howitzers. Girl Found Unconscious in Barn and Hired Man Gone. Miss Bertha Martin, a fourteen- year-old white girl, was assaulted by a colored man, on the Dunbar farm, two miles north of Elkton, Md. The girl accuses Elmer Biddle, a farm hand. Mr. Dunbar and his sons were in Elkton attending court. The girl was sent to the barn for a pail of water. ‘While at the pump, she says, Biddle crept up behind her, seized her by the throat and dragged her into the stable. She fought desperately, but her strength soon failed and she fell unconscious. She was found by Mrs. Dunbar, who was attracted to the barn by the flight of Biddle from the barn. The grand jury, which is in session for its December term of court, re- turned an indictment against Biddle, who has not been captured, although a large posse is searching for him. Biddle is about thirty-five years of age, married and has several children.
