London, Oct. 1.-THE fall of Bel
grade is admitted by the Serbian war
Office at Nish, saying the right wing of
the German army of invasion has been
repulsed and thrown back across the
Drina, with enormous losses. The
statement says:
Belgrade has fallen into the hands
of the Germans after a desperate re-
sistance
Fighting continues all along the
Danube. and Save fronts. The pur-
pose of the enemy is to advance
through the Moravia valley. separating
Kostolac, thirty-eight miles southeast
of Belgrade, from Dubravatza, on the
Danube, thirty-five miles east of Bel
grade, where his chief efforts are con-
centrated.
THE enemy suffered enormous loss
es in making unsuccessful attack on
the lower Drina. The enemy has been
thrown back on an island he occupied
before opening operations"
An Athens dispatch says that the
entente powers are landing fourteen
thousand soldiers daily at Salonilxa
and that they are being sent as rapid
ly as possible over the border railway
into Serbia. Their exact destination
is not known, but it is presumed that
the major part of the forces already
within Serbia territory are fortifying
positions along the railroad to Nish.
Home military critics take lighter
view of the situation on the Austrian
frontier of Serbia and are inclined to
believe that the Serbs may succeed
in holding the German armies until
the allies can send adequate aid from
Salonika. The repulse to Won Macken-
sens right wing is certainly a favor
able omen from the entente viewpoint
and proves pretty conclusively that
the Serbs, so miserably wasted in
strength through disease and many
battles, still are able to come back
1t will be the chief object of the Bull
garians to advance on these communi-
cations and to sever them, thus isolat-
ing Serbia and leaving it to the mercy
Of the German army on the north. but
to the present moment there is no au-
thoritative news that such an attempt
has been started, or that one Bulgarin
soldier has set foot on Serbian terri
tory.
The French communique was as fol-
lows:
There were reciprocal artillery ac-
lions in Belgium in the environs OF
Lombaertyde. and on the entire front

"In Champagne we again progressed
to the northeast of Tahure. A briIli-
ant assault made US the masters of a

village. On both sides the lombard
