Fighting Desperately to Hold
Back Invaders Until Franco
British Aid Comes.
REACH MOUNTAIN REGION
Greece Asks Financial Aid Of
Entente Allies Bulgaria Pro-
tests Troops at SalOniki.

London, Nov. 10.-Every day, ey-=
cry hour adds to the peril Of the
Serbian armies, which are fighting
desperately to hold back the Austro-
Germans. pressing them from the
north, and Bulgarians invading their
country from the east, until the as
sistance their allies are sending can
reach them.
The Austro-Germans advancing
southwark, are making progress ex-
cept in the west, where they are be-
ing held by the Montenegrins. The
invading forces are now reaching
the most difficult part of Serbia, the
mountainous region where natives,
knowing every hill and gully, can Of
fer the strongest resistance. The
Austrians and Germans, however,
are plentifully supplied with noun
tain guns, with which they expect to
drive the defenders from their
Businesses.
To the south the ever.growing'
strength of the French and British
forces is beginning to tell. They
are carrying on an energetic often
sive against the Bulgars, have man.
aged to keep the railway clear as
far as Veles and are barring the
Bulgars' route to Monastir.
GREECE ASKS MONEY OF ALLIES
There is no change in the attitude
of Greece. although it is considered
significant that at the moment that
Bulgaria has again protested against
the hospitality accorded the allied
troops at Saloniki. the Greek gov
eminent has applied to the allies for
financial assistance-an application
which is receiving favorable consid---
GRAFTON.
The Greek government also hasTe-
newed to the allies an expression OF
its firm determination to maintain
neutrality and of its sincere good
will toward the entente powers.
The campaigns on the other fronts
continue without any important
change. The Russians are still at
tackiDg in the north and south and.
are commencing to harass the GeE-
man forces in the center, which il Is
believed has been weakened for the
purpose of strengthening the two
wings. No big movement is expe ct
ed, however, until the condition Of
the ground improves.
In both the West and on the Itas-
ian front there has been considerable
fighting.
