BELGRADE FALLS
BEFORE AUSTRIANS
CapitM of Game Little Kingdom Goes
Down before Superior Numbers.

CapitM of Game Little Kingdom Goes
Down before Superior Numbers.
London, Dec. 2.-Belgrade, until the
outbreak Of the war Servia's capital,
was occupied today by Austrian troops.
The Servians previously evacuated
the city.
Thus, on the 66th anniversary Of
the reign of Emperor Francis Joseph
who again is reported seriously i'll, and
four months after outbreak Of the
war Mis- general reports one of the
most important successes they have
obtained.
Belgrade frequently was bombardcd
early in the war and but for the
necessity that compelled Austria to
send troops against Russia must have
fallen easy prey to Servia's big neigh
Dor.
Apparently Austria miscalculated
the nature OF the Scrvian oppoSition
and only aftc Bosnia was invaded did
she send a sufficient force against the
Srrvans to drive them back.
Now they arc being forced back
ward and are eagerly looking for the
advance of the Russians into Hungary
to afford them relief.
Russia has been sending Cossack
raiding parties through the Car
pathians to divert Austria's attention,
but the dual monarchy seemingly is
determined to finish with Scrva first.
This, however, is only a small af-
fair compared with what is going on
in North Poland. There the German
army, which, aided by reinforccmcnts
escaped from the ring the Russians
had forced around it, has formed q
new front and at some points has re-
sumcd the offensive. The Germans as
scrt that in these manocuvrcs they
made $4,000 prisoners.
The Russians. in n statement issued
through Rome, say their captures
greatly exceed this number. All agree
that losses have been heavy and that
the battle still is undccsive, as il
probably will be for some days.
For moment, the allies are some.
what disappointed that the realiza.
ton of a great Russia victory is dc.
MED them. They take some consola
ton in that the German attempt tt
pierce the Russian lines has failed
and that, suffering from heavy losses
the Germans are compelled to weaker
their armies elsewhere.
The Russian report tonight says tn,
| fighting has lost some of it's violence
and indicates some progress for Rus
