LONDON. November 6-The Bull
garians have occupied Nlsh, the .Ser!S
bian war capital. which thus opens IL
through route for the central powers
to Sofia and Constantinople IN addi-
ton, the Bulgarian and German main
armies have effected junction at
krivivir. so that the campaign prob
ably will move at n faster pace. In
fact. except for the southern part of
Serbia. the invasion Is already attain
ing more headway, and despite Ser
bian resistance, the invading armies
have all made considerable progress.
In the south, however the allied forces
appear to be too strong for the Bull
garians who admit that they are faced
by superior numbers. 1t Is reported
through the German legation at Athens
that the British, French and Serbinns
have inflicted severe defeat on the
Bulgarians at IZvor
More allied troops are being sent to
the scene OF the lighting in the hope
that they will be able by the capture
OF Velcs to compel the Bulgarians to
retire and clear the Saloniki-N Nitro
vita railway so that assistance can
be sent to the Serbian northern army.
All assistance that reaches the Serbinns
apparently must be sent by the Brit
ish and French. for. despite the defeat
of the Zaimis government and thc
triumph of Venizelos in the Greek
chamber. there is no evidence that
Greece intends to change her policy.
II was reported this morning that NJ.
Zaimis had undertaken to form new
Cabinet, but this lacks confirmation
from Athens

RUSSIAN EXPEDITION
There also is lack of news concern
ing the Russian expedition, which was
reported early in the week on the Rou-
manian frontier. while Roumania, like
Greece. is maintaining her neutrality
in the face of agitation in the country
for Intervention. Russia. however. is
preventing the Austro- German forces
from dispatchinG any additional troops
from her front TO the Balkans. Tho
Russian armies have successfully coun-
tered Field Marshal Won Hindenburg's
enorts to reach Siga from the west,
and are attacking both west and south
of Dvinsk and on the Styr and the
Stripa Rivers
In the Dvinsk sector the Russians
are advancing Il little, but on the two
southern rivers there is no change in
tho positions. La the western zone the
Germans continue their attacks against
the new French positions in Cham
pasne, but here also little ground Is
changing hands.
There is evidence of renewed activity
in Gallipoli, and the impression pre-
walls that another big attempt will be
made 10 open the strait before German,
ammunition arrives
Field Marshal Earl Kitchener has
been intrusted with an important mis-
sion to the Near East" a London news
paper announces. and has already left
London. Whether Earl Kitchener may
he bound for the Balkans, the Darda-
ne!lcs or elsewhere is not made clear.
GERMAN SUBMARINES

German submarines are again active
in the Mediterranean, having sunk !

in rapid succession. The crew OF the
French steamer Calvados one OF thag0S

positions along the east bank of the
