The prosecution Of the Serbian

"Rudnik. southwest Of MitTovitza,

More than 2.700 Serbians were made
prisoners and large quantities Of war
material was captured.
With the flight Of the scanty re

communication with Bulgaria and the
Turkish empire has been accom-
plished."
Allies Situation Desperate.
The semiofHciaI Trans-Ocean News
bureau gives out the following:
The allies situation in the Balkans
is desperate. The French losses on
the KrivoIak line are estimated at
10000 dead, while their retreat has
been made extremely difficult.
There is open conflict between the
English general, Hamilton, and the
French general staff The FreQch
| asked for immediate help and wanted
| at least two English divisions, but
Hamilton failed to respond.
Meanwhile the BuIgarians have ad-
vanced until they are in the immediate
neighbOrhCod OF Nonastir. When the
occupation Of this town becomes nee
essary the BulgaTians will give a deli
mite promise to Greece that the occu-
patton will be only temporary and

roads, is paraueled in tie worlds his
tory only by the prosecution Of the
Russians in this campaign.
Up to this time 136,070 Serbians
have been taken prisoners and -627
