A Bulgarian communique states: The French troops are retreating on both banks of the Vardar. Our pursuit continues. We occupied Resna town, also Dibra, following a sanguinary battle. It transpires that the Serbian defeat at Knlaluma, near Prizrond, was a catastrophe. They lost all their artillery, automobiles, royal carriage, and 320’omnibuses. We find abandoned guns at every step. The Albanians are revolting and falling on the Serbian hands who are wandering in the mountains. The Mallissqris are particularly hostile.
