THE ALLIED RETREAT.
A DIFFICULT TASK. Times and Sydney Sun Services. London, Dee. 21. Describing the evacuation of Ghevgeli, Mr. Calvert states that it was attended with difficulties owing to the accumulation of Serbian stores and, the persistent enemy attacks, ten days of dense fog assisting the enemy and causing the isolation of a 'BritreL brigade, which was given up for lost, but which eventually regained the main body. j The Bulgars furiously attacked two email bridgeheads and an entrenched hill covering the retreat of the last French troops. They poured in a stream of shells for two hours and then charged up the hill with the bayonet, but were disgusted to find nothing but empty trenches.
