BRITAIN’S DUTY.
LONDON, October 14. The Times military correspondent says : “Our manifest duty is to maintain our strength in France and Flanders,, which are our principal theatres. While there is good reason for the landing at Salonika of all the troops’ we can spare, it must be with the provision that we do not weaken our strength in the west. If Greece and Rumania do not intervene to counter-bal-ance Bulgaria and Turkey, the chances of success from the expedition are so slight that the adventure is not promising.’’ A SIGNIFICANT RETIREMENT. PARIS, October 14. General Savoff, at his own request, has been retired from the Bulgarian army. SUBMARINE BASE DISCOVERED. NEW YORK, December 14. A message from Athens states that a British agent there unearthed a submarine base in the Gulf of Nauplia, south-west of Greece, from which it is believed the submarines that recently sank the allied transports got supplies. Upon the discovery the Greek authorities immediately seized large quantities of petroleum and other supplies.
