them hem they wore ere mostly allelic al site lelit of in iche the gray early morning tt abe a musketry fire began again it rattled from hill to hill batteries awoke and the whole play was resumed the turkish guns guna were superior to those hose of 0 the greeks who had mostly mountain howitzers howit I 1 watched for a long time the blue clad greek infantry marching in position across a small plain while I 1 watched the turks changed their attack from the greek right on oil the plain to the greek left on the rocky hill bill then than the fighting became obscured from view the greeks lay in trenches snugly flattened against the dirt firing bring carefully oare tully while the turks loomed close before them every ridge was wan fringed with smoke I 1 saw soldiers in the trenches ease off and take a drink from their canteens twist their cartridge belts to put the empty links licks behind them or turn a round around to say lay something to a comrade they then went at it again I 1 noticed one lieutenant standing up in we the rear of a trench rolling a ette his bis lips wide apart la in this cars care less attitude a shot went through his neek his servant came irona from the trench and knelt weeping over the bouy body regardless of the battle the men had to drag him la in by the legs the reserves coming up passed a wayside shrine the men paused to cross crone themselves and pray A shell the shrine and demol demolished lebed it the men in the rear of the column were obliged to pray to the spot where the shrine had been news came from the left that the turks had tried to turn the flank and failed the turks formed on the right a and na moved slowly across the plain and the battery opened on them I 1 saw troops moving to the rear to prevent a possible flank b attack in the abe direction of volo the light on the plain to the right began masses of turkish troops like shadows slowly moved forward toward the greek trenches indicated by gray lines of smoke emoke shots began to rake the trenches on 0 n the hill bill and to also rake the battery to the rear I 1 hoped the greeks on the plain would hurry burry and drive the turks from their position they did it gallantly in a short ferocious in lantry cantry fight the bi bit t of woods where the light fight occurred seemed on fire are there was a great rattling and banging and then the turks went out

afternoon after another successful day came the order to retreat had bad apparently received the be brunt of the fighting yet the center and left near karadjas and at Ph arsala had bad again retired no one could explain it we were not aware of the situation they faced but it seemed an extraordinary order they say sk wept I 1 went down to see the retreat A curious carious thing was that the he turks seemed to understand the order as quickly as we did they moved up batteries with startling rapidity for the turks the retreat was not disorderly but wrathful and sullen A regiment of the kilted gilted men 2000 strong came down to cover the retreat and in the twilight brightened by turkish shelly shallop the he greeks slowly withdrew LONDON may 11 in ID the house of commons today the first
