The entry of Pristina by the Servian advance guard was preceded by desperate fighting at Teresh Pass and other positions around the town.

Views on the Alliance

The alliance of the Balkan kings Tar exceeds the status of military combine tion for the immediate object in view, ac- cording to the Outlook, which claims to have special information that it is per manent federation intended to exclude all external authority from the Balkan peninsula.
 The King of Greece, according to the Outlook will become president of the alliance on the nomination of King Nich- olas of Montenegro. The religious riv- alries of Balkan Christians will be ended by uniting the orthodox churches of Bull gara, Greece, Servia and Montenegro, as in ancient times, under the patriarch of Constantinople, who is head of the Greek church. The churches will retain their national rituals and languages. The extension of Serva through Bos- mia to the Adriatic sea will form part of the scheme which Austria is expected strongly to resist, says the Outlook.
 The Outlook says the Balkan diplomats in London declare their object is the Balkans for the Balkan people, and in case of victory the demands which will be included in a note to Turkey will be their minimum requirements. They will not sit in the ante-room while the powers allot the spells, nor will they accept any tenn porary patching of near eastern prob lems
