Ser bans Fight On III.
The lnterest ''h'the War coSrtt
tinues to be centered in the Bal
kans, divided between the mighty
defense of the Serbians against
three invaders and the diplomatic
negotiations under way. The news
that the Russians have already
despatched a large force for the
Invasion of Turkey and Bulgaria
is generally credited in the vari-

most incredible losses upon the
invaders, but losing ground stead

some measure of safe withdrawal.

commenced to exercise renewed
pressure against the Montcnegrin
positions along the Drina at Wis

in force with the general Teutonic
offensive against Serbia. The
Montenegrins are reported to
have had some initial successes,
rcpulsing the, first Austrian ad-
vance south Of Vishegrad in the
fighting on Thursday. The Aus

Montenegrin army. FL" Vi
