London, Oct 22.-Apprehension for
servia is growing daily, with the con-
Viction that before adequate aid
reaches that country il will be sub
jected to all the mereiless destruction
that was wrought in Belgium. 1t is
believed that the great Teuton drive
TO the south will be stopped before it
reaches Constantinople and that the
Bulgars will be oVerpowered by great
Allied armies, but all news from the
front indicates that before this results
Serbia will have paid the supreme pen7
atty eXacted early in the war from
Belgium.
An official statement issued yester-
day at Nish as forwarded by the Ha-
vas news agency, says that the Ser
Wan army is now menaced seriously
The SerVian war office says the rail
road line TO Saloniki has been cut in
? places.
The situation grows more and more
serious. The resistance of the Servian
troops is desperate and heroic but
the strong pressure of the Austrians
and the Germans from the north and
of masses of Bulgarians from the
east is menacing seriously the Servian
army, which is now cut off from Sa-
loniki. The arrival of Allied troops
Is awaited anXiously.
The Servians in the north hold the
atX-AleXanderovatz Daihgolo-
bowl and the Asagna X osmia lines and
the right bank of the Kolonaza. On
the eastern front they held the Zaiotch-
aYi-K olatZovatz- -Pirot Vlassina line,
but the Bulgarians haY taken the
towns of Yranya and Volosso, cutting
the line of Saloniki in 2 places.
This establishes the fact that the
Bulgarians have captured the i'm
portant railway town of Vranya, re
garding which there has been some
doubt
The 2 outstanding features on the
Russian front are the continued of

Very possession of this vast domain
will imperil the Kaiser's cause, unless
he can deliver some gigantic blow that
will make the Allies willing to accept
peace on German terms.
Germany and Austria together, in
Guiding Belgium, have a boundary line
the Balkans, Turkey and Egypt the
line would be $500 miles long. With
Persia and India added, the line would
be stretched to 5000 miles-besides the
immense coast line that would have
to be guarded by the German navy.
The seat of German naval power, in
the event of this empire, would be in
the Mediterranean and the Indian
ocean, instead of the North sea and
the Baltic.
To defend Egypt and to garrison the
Balkans, Germany would have to take
possibly one-third of her troops now
operating on the French and Russian
borders,
To make the scheduled drive to In
