The Bulgarian and German Main
Armies Have Effected Juncture

London The Bulgarians have oc-
cupied Nish, the Serbian var capital,
which gives them complete control OF
the railway from Prahovo, ON the
Danube, and thus opens through
route for the central powers to Soma
and Constantinople.
In addition, the Bulgarian and Ger
man main armies have effected a
juncture at Kriviyir, so that the CAM
paign, which has been somewhat
slower than expected, probably will
hove at a faster pace. In fact, ex-
cept for the southern part of Serbia,
the invasion is already gathering
more Roadway, and despite Serbian
resistance, the invading armies have
all made considerable progress.
More than half of Serbia is now in
possession of the invaders, and it is
said in Berlin that the Serbians
have an open line of less than sew
enty miles for retreat into Montene-
gro. Should they seek refuge in that
country they would be menaced by

and western Montenegro frontiers.
In the south, however, the allied
forces appear to be too strong for the
Bulgarians, who admit that they are
faced by superior numbers.
More allied troops are being sent
from Saloniki to the scene of the
fighting in the hope that they will be
able by the capture of Veles to COM
pei the Bulgarians, who advanced
west of Uskup, to retire and clear the
Saloniki1Mitroyitza railway, so that
assistance can be sent to the Serbian
northern army.
There is also lack of news concern
ing the Russian expedition, which was
reported early in the week on the
Roumanian frontier, while Roumania,
like Greece, is maintaining her neu-
trality in the face of agitations in the
country for Intervention.
