 akr Berlin reports the capture of 5000 ' Serbians by the victorious Bulgarians, who also have taken A cannon and 22 machine guns.
 Elsewhere, according to the wireless version of the German army head quarters statement, 1900 Serbians and six cannon were captured. These r latter captures were not mentioned in the text of the statement as re- ceived by cable from London.
 An official statement issued by the British foreign office declaring that no blockade of Greek ports has been instituted is interpreted in London as lpdicating that the Greek government shas furnished the guarantees de- manded by the entente allies regard ing the safety of the ""'0d troops in the Balkans.
 It is assumed that the recent an- nouncements in Athens regarding a commercial blockade of Greece were, premature, indicating only the provi- sfonal intentions of the allied powers
 Salonlki has reports that the resig- nation of Premier Skouloudis of Greece is imminent because of diff 9culties between Greece and Great Britain. s
 Appa rently anticipating a Russian advance in Volhynia the Germans are reported from Petrograd to have strongly fortified Kovel, the import atant railroad junction point held by them some thirty miles to the west of the. Styr River. In this region the Russians recently have announced important successes.
 In an official statement today the | British foreign office gives apparent l contradiction to the general belief that l an informal blockade of Greece had l . been decided upon by the entente all | lies No blockade of Greek ports has been instituter or is in force and no Greek ships are being seized or de- tained in United Kingdom ports, the statement declares.

 Fists in Athens are advised, the seat of government having been removed from Mirovitza, now threatened by the Teutonic advance. The diplomatic corps has gone to Fetch, Montenegro.
 Tn the desperate battle being waged for Gorizia it is declared by Rome that s4the advances scored in the Oslavia sec tor and elsewhere have been retained, ESdespite violent counter attacks. The AAustrians penetrated the new Italian
 lines several times, but on each occa- sion were thrown back, General Ca- dorna asserts,
 additional progress on the Carso Plateau near Monte San Michele and San Martino also is claimed by the Italians.
 The latest Turkish war office state ment does not indicate a continuance of offensive operations on an exten- sive scale by the Franco-British for sces. It declares. however, that Fur kigh artillery fire drove off transports attempting to approach the coast of the Gallipoli Peninsula, possibly with Reinforcement for the allied forces. Today's French official statement ' alludes only to operations of the avia- Esfors. AFrench airmen have been suc- cessful in several engagements. Five Gebiman airmen were Worsted in that number of aerial encounters in the kt Champagne district, it is declared.
