BULGARS’ WILD CHARGE, Known as Champions With Bayonet, They Meet Their Match in French Zouaves, By William G. Shepherd. BALONICA, Dec. § (United Press), A furious battle is being fought in the Christmas holly woods near Strumnitza, The Bulgars have been attacking the Anglo-French positions since early Saturday. Their attacks thus far have been repulsed with heavy loases. I visited the French and British fronts along the Serbo-Bulgarian frontier Friday night and Saturday. The mountainous hills were topped with batteries, The big British guns wero sending shells acreaming eight miles across hills a mile high, The holly hills shook with the dull roar. ‘The Bulgars broke over the hills at intervals in wild charges, screaming like demons, Through tho “ Balkan wars they were hailed es the cham- pions of the bayonet. But In sudden collision with French Zouaves they met their match. In three distinct encounters they were caught by French cold steel, stabbed to death or sent flying back over the hills, targets for machine guns and shrapnel.

PARIS, Dec. 8—That England, against the wishes of her allies, fa- vors the withdrawal of the expedi- tlonary forces from the Balkans was strongly hinted following to-day's session of the Allies‘ War Council. A high French official made this statement: “It England persists alone In favor- ing leaving Salonica, then the re- mainder of tho alles will continue to aid. the Serbs.” Sir John French, British Com- mander-in-Chief, is understood to have brought the suggestion that the Balkan campaign be abandoned to the allied War Council, which heid ite third meeting to-day. It is said to have met with opposition not only from Gen. Joffre but from other al- lied representatives, It has been known in France for some time that England was far from satisfied with affairs in the Balkans. Several ‘speakers in the English Parliament called the Salonica ex- Pedition useless, holding that it ar- rived too late and the number of troops was too small to give any real aid to Serbia, French officials have given out sev- ral interviews, proclaiming the in- tention of France to give strong sup- port to Serbia, though the newspapers recently have carried articles suggest- ting that the situation of the allied forces in Serbia may become perilous, JOLT FOR SOCIETY IN PAPERS FOUND ON VON RNTELE (Continued from First Page.) with the work of Labor's National Peace Council. Von Rintelen ts alleged to have boast- ed, soon after Gen, Huerta, deposed dic- tator of Mexico, arrived here from Spain, that he had $12,000,000 to be usd i arousing a feeling that would bring qbout a crisis between the United States and Mexico, but use of only about $700,000 has been traced so far by Federal investigators, Not the least interesting angle of the secret part played by von Rintelen while overtly be was the German business man, resident member of the New York Yacht Club and familiar of Gotham’s best social circles, is the hint conveyed as to why he became #0 eager to depart from America that at last he committed the blunder of trying to leave by a fraudulent Amer- fean passport, though already sup- plied with forged Swiss credentials by means of which he did gail, only to fall into the hands of his country’s enemies, It is here that David Lamar is most intimately identified with the career of Rintelen in America, It is said that of some $700,000 which Rintelen disbursed in an effort to atop munitions, Lamar received between $850,000 and $400,000, Any disclosures of bis machina- tions would have destroyed his stand- ing. Faced with this situation, von Rintelen was in the increasingly vex- atious position of being obliged to keep on trusting the men he had chosen to trust at the outset, De- mands were made upon him for large sums—for purposes avowdily legitimate and in line with bis endeavors. Von Rintélen grew weary of asking “how much” and of “com- ing across” to the tune of thousands.
