Especial Cable to The Times Dispatch
LONDON November 7.-Huge forces
of troops are being hurried to Serbia
by the entente powers. just how large
they are is carefully concealed, but
fragmentary dispatches from Salonikt
ment is much heavier than has been
heretofore supposed.
The landing OF troops at that port
is on greatly increased scale, so much
so that new arrangements have been
made with the Greek government for
the use of additional wharves and piers
and for more extensive railway facili-
ties.
The men are being sent north as fast
as they arrive on an almost continuous
line OF trains. For the moment the
greatest activity is in the south where
1t is reported. the French have crossed
the Bulgarian frontier and have already
captured several villages
While the allies can now have little
hope OF Greek aid in the defense Of
Serbia, the belief is still held here that
1t is not too late to turn the tables
on the invaders. The departure for the
east of Lord Kitchener, after confer
cnceS in Paris with Premier BRAND
General Gallieni, the War Minister and
General Jotfrc, the communicating chief
OF the field forces. has given confidence
that the campaign is to be carried on
enerEeticaily by the man who knows
the East better than almost any one
else.

ORDER
FOR SALE OF THE
Liner CECQE

Boston, Feb. c3-The federal court to-
day refused to order the sale of the
North German Lloyd liner kronprinzes-
sin Cecilie. now interned at this port. A
petition for the sale was fled by the
Guaranty Trus: Co. OF New York. which
llbelled the steamer last summer, alleg-
ing a breach of contract because the
vessel. while on a voyage to Europe,
was turned back to this country after
war was declared. The trust company
alleged that the steamship company was
reluctant TO go to trial on the libel dur
ing hostilities. and that this delay kept
the Heelants under heavy expenses for
keepers fees The North German Lloyd
Line today agreed to pay half the keep
ers' fees in the future and the case was
continued until March 10. 1t was an
rounced that meantime an effort would
be made to agree on stipulations by
which the trial might be FASTENED.
