NISI, Sept. IS.

NISH, Sept IS
Austrian troops have retaken Semlin
without opposition, according to an Of
fetal announcement made here today.
1t was stated that this development would
have no effect on the servian campaign
however.
The Wolff Telegraph Bureau, the Ger
man semi-ofticial news agency, reports
that the Austrians have resumed the
offensive in the south ana are advancing
against the Servians.
In pursuance with the general plan to
concentrate the Servian attack on Bosnia
and not to move into Clavonia, the entire
servian army has been withdrawn from
Semlin. The Austrians have reoccupied
the town but have made no effort to cross
into Servia,
The advance of the combined Servian-
Montenegrin armies on Savrajevo is re-
ported as progressing uninterruptedly. the
Austrian opposition crumpling in front Of
the determined attacks of the combined
armies.
