Poor Roads Handicap Teutonic Ar.
mics in Serbia.

mics in Serbia.
London, Nov. 16.-The fight for Ser
bia proceeds without abatement The
Austro- Germans and Bulgarians claim
repeated successes, but it is apparent
that their progress is slow, the Ser
bans now having reached their noun
tain fortresses in central Serbia, and
the roads, or want of roads, making
1t difficult for the invaders to. bring
up their heavy artillery, with which
they always back up their infantry.
In the south there is little or no
change. In the district northwest of
Uskup the Serbians still hold the
Katchanik defile, barring the Bulgari-
ans from the great plain of Kosovo,
while to the southwest of Uskup a
desperate struggle has taken place
for the possession of Tetovo, which
has changed hands several times.
There has been a revival of hard
fighting on the western front. The
Germans claim to have captured 300
metres Of trench near Ecurie, while
the French report the repulse of Ger
man attacks against the Labyrinth in
Artois and also against Tahuce, in
Champagne.
