Demir-Hissar toward Kavalla. This information was received here in a dispatch from Athens to the Exchange Telegraph company. The Greek forts Rupel and Dragotin are, respectively, six and nine miles north o f the town o f Demir-Hissar, while Spatovo fort lies four miles east o f that town. Kavalla, on which the Bulgarians are said to be marching, is a seaport on the Aegean Sea, 55 miles in an air line southeast o f Demir-His sar. A fte r crossing the Aegean Sea without loes, the Serbian army in full strength has been landed at Saloniki, according to a dispatch. Serbia’s new army has been various ly estimated numbering between 80,- 000 and 100,000 officers and men. It was reorganized on the island o f Cor fu, which is approximately 700 miles distant by water from Saloniki. The Serbian army totaled about 300,000 at the outbreak o f the war, but this force was greatly depleted as a result o f an epidemic of typhus and bitter engagements fought in an en deavor to check the Austro-German and Bulgarian invasion o f Serbia and Montenegro. The remnant o f the orig inal armies saved itself by retreating through the Albanian mountains. On reaching the seacoast, the Ser bians were transported to the Island of Corfu, off the southern coast o f A l bania, where they were suppiled with new rifles and clothing and efficiently equipped for further service on the Balkan battlefield. London— More French defenses at Verdun gave way before German bat terings Tuesday.

M.— L ittle credence is placed by m ilitary authorities here in reports from Chihuahua that Carranza troops have discovered V illa in hiding near Jiminez. Several officers here expressed their conviction that V illa is still alive, but asserted that General Pershing, expeditionary commander, is in poesession o f information as to the probable whereabouts o f the bandit chieftain, which does not coincide with that o f General Trevino.
