PETRoGRAD d, Nov. 49,
A plea for help from Russia is brought
by NJ Tzemovltch, special envoy from
servla, who has arrived here. He de-
cIares that servia's army has been re-
duced from 100000 to 10000 during the
three months fishtlng against Austria
and that servla is in danger Of conquest,
The absorption Of servia by Austria
would bring Austria into territorial con-
tact with Bulgaria, Rumania and Greece
and expose those countries TO an AustSo-
German attack. The danger of the full
filiment Of this step toward the compile
tion of the Hohenzollern plan Of extern
sion into the Balkans to Constantinople
Is recognized here.
Despite the critical situation in the
campaign in Poland, Galicia and the
Caucasus, IL is believed that an effort VIII

Fighting at present is heavy along the
banks of the Vstula, where the German
counter offensive on both sides has
checked the Russian advance of the last
week. The Vistula now separates the
two Russian armies, which face the re-
organized German centre on two fronts.
The situation in Poland is more favorable
for the Kaiser than at any time since

The latest German victories are such
that the advance OF the Russians has been
more difficult. This success,
however, must not be overestimated, for
the Russian losses, although severe, do
not mean that the Russian movement has
collapsed. Considering the enormous
numbers OF available soldiers, 1t does not |
even mean the discrimination of the !
Russian offensive.

consequences.
EAST PRUSSIA EXPOSED
The only way Of carrying out the inn
perial order was to shift troops from
Lyck, where the nature Of the country,
all lakes and marshes, makes Russian
progress very slow.
This maneuver has certainly caused
the Russians TO give way on the Wis
tuat Valley. but the effect IN East Prus-
sla has been the opposite OF that de-
sired. The Russians there are pushing
forward at every point and the inhabi-
tants are fleeing before them.
Heavy fighting is reported here TO
have taken place in East Prussia in
the vicinity OF Nedenburg and Sol

to be entirely with the Russians.

The Russian advance through the CEN
tire OF Poland has created panic all along
the German border and tide Of refugees
has set in toward Breslau. In that city
itself the fasco OF the Polish invasion
Is a subject Of open discussion. Breslau
begins TO tremble for It's own safety.
Once across the border the name of Cos
sack will spread terror equal to that
created by the approach Of Uhlan in
Belgium. But the wholesale invasion OF
this section of Germany cannot be ex-
pected Immediately.
Russia relies on her proponderence in
numbers. owing TO limited railway COM
muncation time is necessary to develop
this numerical superiority at all salient
points. Troops start from every point of
the compass, all bound in the same direc-
tlon. The remotest divisions of the En-
