Apparently, this attitude fright

we'll ii might, and large bodies OF
troops were withdrawn from Ser

Hungary. II seems, therefore,
that the victory OF the Serbs was
due to the diversion created by
Russia in Hungary. BY sending
strong detachments through the
Carpatrian passes from Galicia,
Russia relieved the Servian pres

tege.
To have accomplished this, the
Russians undoubtedly penetrated
