GREECE CONCEDES DEMANDS " By a vigorous and dashing assault the French have cleared the > Gormans out of Saillisel, overcoming a, resistance which lasted all day and all night. ■ The British attack on the Regina trench, it is explained, was prompted by the fact that it had, lately been a veritable nest of German snipers, who had been taking a serious toll on positions. The most absorbing incident on the Somme front, however, has been an awe-inspiring battle, in which 38 German aeroplanes were engaged and deni oralised by three of our air squadrons, numbering 10 machines in each. These wheeling, whirring v * eagles 6f war fought their fight iu the clouds, 5000 feet above the battlefield of the earth, from which men gazed upward with fasoinated gaze. In the Balkans, the Serbs are continuing their victorious operations in the loop of the Cerna, and have seized new positions. The German retreat in the Dobrudja continues, and Constanza is stated to have been evacuated. ■' Tho Rumanians are heavily engaged along the whole Transylvanian frontier, and are fighting to some purpose. Greece has acceded to the Allies' demands—and the Russian Minister at Athens has entertained King Constantino '. at dinner, a reception being afterwards held for the King by tho diplomatic representatives :f the Entente Powers. Furious fighting is reported from the Russian front in Galicia, where the enemy is launching, with but small results,, most determined attacks, i A late cablegram from Sjdnc- this morning (0.40 a.m.) states that general rains are interruptin- telegraphic communications and delaying the war news.
