AMSTERDAM. Nov. 25.-Hoping to
relieve the pressure on their Serb com
rades, French artillerymen are
pounding Prilep heavily, in south
central Serbia. They have with
drawn from Vardar enough forces to
enable the southern SeFbians to move
horthward. IL Is believed the Bull
garians will stand on the defensive
until the central allies can come to
their aid. Farther southwest, the
Bulgars have been badly beaten
with enormous losses.
What the Serbians, nearly hemmed
in on the plain of Blackbird. are do
ing is a mystery. Sofia dispatches
said these forces are so badly disor-
ganized by recent captures and the
fighting during their pursuit, thai
there can be no great battle. Re

taken to mean the forces of the two
