The struggle was desperate and there had been no material change | in the positions at the time the lega- | tion's advices were filed. A furious fight is progressing also | between the Serbians and the Bul- | garians in the Krivoiak, Veles and | Uskuo districts, in Southern Serbia. Fighting still raged to-day be- tween the French and tfie Bulgar- fans whom they defeated Sunday in the Strumnitz region, near the Serbo- Bulgarian frontier. Stumnitz is fill- ed with Bulgar wounded. The French losses were small. Allies Munitions at Saloniki. (Special to the Whig.) Saloniki, Oct. 25.--The great quantity of supplies . landed , here] since the disembarkation of the Al- lied expeditionary army began two weeks ago leads to the conclusion that the force to he sent to aid tha Serbs will probably exceed 500,000. Hundreds of motor trucks, dmbu lange waggons and aeroplanes and | munitions by the thgusands of tons ww t have been sent forward from Salon- fki @ } Dozens of steamers, their mark- ings blotted out in the dull gray] paint of . war, arrive and clear daily. To cope with this flood the facilities | of this neglected port have been ut- terly inadequate. have had to be hastily built, ware- houses constructed and branch rail- way lines laid. About 60,000 French trogps | brought from Mitylene and 40,000] British from Moudros already have | been disembarked The utmost |cordiality prevails between the sol- diers and the inhabitants. Serbs Defect Bulgars. (Special to the Whig.) . Paris, Oct. 25.--The Bulgarians, | who were trying to join the Austro- | Germins by cutting across North- Eastern Serbia, have been repulsed by the Serbs, according to Nish ad- vices this afternoon The Teutonic advance was re port- ed delayed in the hope that Bulgari- ans will yet get through. 'The Serbians, French and British | now control the Salonika-Nish rail- | way, from Salonika northward to the Austro-German front, the same mes- sage said, but Sofia messages still declared the Bulgarians held Uskub. Much dissaffection in the Bulgari- an army and many consequent execu- tions were reported Roumania is expected shortly to! join the Allies. CANADIAN CASUALTIES 15,187 UP (Special to the Whig.) Ottawa, Oct. 25 Casualties among the Canadian forces up to October 15th totalled 15,187. Of the | ten thousand wounded it is probable one-thrid will return shortly to their regiments while another proportion will return after a period of conva- lescence. The full list is as follows: Type of Action Officers Men Killed in action 99 1,625 Died of wounds. 35 654 | Died of illness 6 172] Accidentally killed 2 38! A pA Ae at A Celebrated | Convict Insane; Goes to Guelph Arthur Bonnar, one of the cele- brated convicts who was sent down to the Portsmouth penitentiary & few years ago from Stoney Mountain penitentiary with Harry Kelly, Frank Jones and George Brown, has been adjudged insane, and was taken to Guelph on Monday noon by Deputy Warden O'Leary. He will undergo treatment there with the other co victs who were recently sent t Guelph. For some time Bonnar has been. showing signs of insanity, and it was thought best to take him away | from Portsmouth. Bonnar, it will be remembered, was'| | one of the band who made such al sensationa) escape m the [ mouth prison a few years ago. this time Kelly and Browh pleaded | guilty, but Bonnar and Jones sprang | a surprise by pleading "not guilty." | Each one conducted his own case, | and put penitentiary guards through | a stiff examination. Judge Madden, | who presided, complimented Bounar on the way.he had handled his case. Bonnar, a polished young English- man, with a great flow of language, made an eloquent appeal on his own behalf, and also helped Jones to fight his case. However, ih their ease, and in the other cases as well, the jury returned a verdict of "'guilty™ A AAA AA AA AN ¥ CPHE WHIG'S CONTENTS. .

Athens; via/London, Oct. 25.--The French defeated the Bulgarians Sun |day along the front from Ondovo to | Krivotak, after twenty-four hours' | | battle, according to news from Salo- nika to-day. The Bulgarians fell back on Rab- rovo with heavy losses. The French, pursuing, later occupied Rabrovo They were still chasing the Bulga rians to-day, it was stated. Serbs Prevent Union, | London, Oct. ~The Serbian! plan of campaign is now developing sufficiently to indicate its essential characteristic. Two objectived con fronted the general staff at Nish | when the Teutons began their drive toward Constantinople , and when | Bulgaria joined the Teuton-Turk | alliance. The first had in reality a double purpose -- to prevent the | { Austro-Germans from cutting their | way through Serbia into Bulgaria, and to oppose the Bulgarian effort to Join .the Teutons in Northern Serbia. This is the plan of campaign which the Serbs have accepted. { The alternative objective was to | preserve the integrity. of Serbjan | Macedonia, and while permitting the | northern invaders to march into Bul- garia, at the same time to hold the Bulgars back in the south. Macedonia Undefendeg; The two objectives could t { adopted at the same time, cause the la bo. anny is not strong Lived into Buneriul ia, 3 a sou largely de- serted by the Eom hg troops, who are compelled to allow the Bulgarians to | advance in the southern districts so | that the Austro-Germans may en: | counter the maximum degree of re- sistance-amid the northern moun- tains. The acceptance of this plan de monstrates the Serbians are being | guided by sound, strategic motives. The Macedonian adyatice of the Bul- gars is not far from the Greek bord- er. When the Anglo-French expedi- tionary force at Salonika becames | sufficiently strong to strike a major | blow in the Balkans, the nearest { line against which operations must be directed is the Bulgar front in Macedonia. The Serbians cannot | | hold out indefinitely against their enemies if the Allies decide to make la serious move in the Balkans. It is absolutely necessary that the Serbs | accept the theory that eventually | they will get sufficient help from | Great Britain and France. 25. be i Hold Teutons Back. This being the case, the Serbs are contributing powerfully to the Allies' | canse by concentrating all their effort in the north and preventing | the Teutons from establishing them- J} the T in Bulgaria. The Bulgarian | gains in Serbian Macedonia, there fore, are not as important as they might be under other circumstances. The principal advantage the Bulgars are reaping from the situation is an ability to dig themselves in along the Macedonian front, without serious interference. It the Allies carry out" their present intentions and throw from ne 000 to 400,000 men into the Balkans, the chances are that the lea will have to re-1 treat from Macedonia to defend their own country. ~~ {of Uskup, | the railway between Nish and Salo- War Tidings.
