Owing to a frontal attack, the Ber bians were unable to detach men to meet the enveloping force, which crossed the mountains in single file over goat track, crossing torrents and deep gor- gea. The last phase of the fighting was ferocious; the Bulgars and Serbian rearguards fought with knives on a mountain position enclosing the road from Kuprulu to Prilep, while the remnant of the Serbians were retreat ing towards Monastir.

It should contain representatives of the Universities and great schools, repre. sentatives of the educational system. from all parts of the United Kingdom, As already intimated, the selection will be confined to candidates who have served with the forces I imagine that when they interview the candidates the Com- mittes will have before them both the candidates school and college records. and military records, and I have no doubt that in that way they will be able to make a selection which will maintain the high traditions of the Bervice."
