believed in Rome that there is basis

peace negotiations were being con-

attempted to approach the entrance to
the Dardanelles was destroyed.
Serbian losses in the border fight

placed at Nish at 125 men killed or
wounded. The Bulgarian force, it is
said, amounted to about one and one

Beyond the bare admission that the
Austrian forces in the BeslSids have
been compelled to retreat, Vienna has
given no indication of the status of af-
fairs along that section of the Hum
