London. Nov 29 10.30 p. m-The campaign in the Near East is about to enter a new phase, upon which the visits of Lord Kitchener to Paris and Emperor William to Vienna, 1t Is be- lieyed, will have an important effect. Kitchener in Paris-Kaiser in Vienna.
 Lord Kitchener, after visiting the Balkans and Italy, has arrived at. Paris for an important series of conferences with the French staff, while the Ger man emperor has gone to Vienna to sec Emperor Francis Joseph and dis cuss with the Austrian generals what the next move will be.

 Winter Stops War in Serbia.
 So far as Serbia is concerned. wins. ter appears virtually to have put an end to any important move. although the Austrians are proceeding to deal with the Montenegrins, whose frontier they have crossed while the Bulgarians are attempting to advance to Prizrend and Monastir. ss With heavy and continuous snow storms reaching the proportions of a blizzard, these operations must be glow, especially as the Serbians and Sontenegrins are still offering stub born resistance Monastir. it is ad- rnitted cannot be saved but the Ser bians who are defending the city are determined to resist to the last and give the civilians a chance to escape. They hold a front some five miles from the town in the direction of Prilep, from which point the Bulgarians, who have crossed the Carassou river, are adyancings
 Snow has completely stopped oper- ations on the Anglo-French front in Serbia, the opposing forces, who are separated by a valley a mile across, having lost sight of each other.

 Austria Seeking Separate Peace?
 It is reported from Rome that Aus. tria is seeking a separate peace, ap. parentIy with Italy. This is not gen orally credited here, though in som, quarters the German emperor's visi to Vienna is believed to lend som, color to the rumor.
 Forerunner of German Defeat.
 The recent successes of the allie in Karerun are considered likely fore runners of the complete defeat of tn Germans there. They are now con centrated at Jaunde and, although wei supplied with guns find it difficult owing to the British blockade of tn coast, to get munitions. The allie, forces are now converging on Jaunde while other columns are being sen out to cut off any attempt at retrea from that town.
