THE‘BALKANS ALLIES AT SALONIKA. 125,000 MEN LANDED. DT ELECTRIC TELEOIIArD. —COPYRIGHT. (Received Nov. 30, 1.35 p.m.) PARIS, Nov. 20. Athena cables state that 125,000 Frango-Britisb troops have landed at Salonika abundantly supplied. Fortyfive thousand additional men are euroute. Four thousand are landing daily. LANDING AT OTHER PORTS. PERMITTED BY GREECE. (Received Nov. 30, 1.35 p.m.) ROME, Nov. 29. The newspaper Corriere della Sera states that Lord Kitchener obtained Greece’s consent for Allied troops to land at ports other than Salonika. DR. DILLON ON GREECE. NOT BE TRUSTED AT ALL. AFTER PREVIOUS TREACHERY. (Received Nov. 30, 1.35 p.m.) LONDON, Nov. 29. Dr. Dillon, writing from Rome, states that Greece’s alleged acquiescence in the Allies’ demands is only satisfactory while the temptation to break the engagement is less strong than the deterrent experience which taught that lesson. Since she repudiated her solemn obligations to Serbia, Greece is bankrupt in honour and cannot be trusted. Confidence cannot be felt towards a country which oscillates like a pendulum between fear of Germany and fear of the Allies. THE SERBLAN RETREAT. HORRORS OF THE ROAD. COUNTLESS REFUGEES STARVING (Received Nov. 30, 1.30 p.m.) LONDON, Nov. 29. Mr. Shepherd, writing from Salonika, states thst the horrors of the flight of the hapless Serbian people are growing with the arrival of each contingent. Refugees state that the 90 miles of road from Prizrend to Monastir are lined with human corpses and the carcases of horses and mules. Thousands of old men, women and children are lying on the rocks and in the thickets beside the trail, exhausted, foodless and awaiting the end. Hordes of Serbians and Albanians and fifty thousand Austrian prisoners are moving through desolate country. In some places, like vultures, they stripped the flesh from dead animals to appease their hunger. The women and children are ill-clad and numbed with the cold. They cower pitifully about meagre fires in the mountain shrub throughout the night and resume the weary march to Monastir in the morning. When Monastir is captured they will bo at the mercy of the inhospitable mountain passes. Among the refugees who had reached Salonika are Dr. Findlay and his wife, Lady Sybil Findlay, daughter of the seventh Earl of who, with eight English doctors and sixteen English nurses, trudged on foot for seven days in the Albanian mountains with only a little bread. Fifteen of the twenty of their pack mules died from hunger. . . . Britishers m Greece are making heroic efforts to alleviate the distress. Twenty motor-cars, loaded with flour, are fighting their way through the blizzard towards Dibra. The remnants of the Serbian army are retreating to Elbassan, thirty-six miles south-east of Durazzo.

THE GERMANS PURSUING. (Received Nov. 30, 12.35 p.m.) BERLIN Nov. 29. A communique states: The pursuit of the Serbians continues. We have captured 502 guns during the campaign, including many heavy cannon.
