 of the German official statement which records the advance of the Austro- German forces and the capture by the Bulgarians of Zajeoar and Kniajevats, both on the Timok river northeast of Nish and the heights of Prot almost directly east of Nish, there is little or no authentic news of the invasion of Serbia.

 There are reports, however. that the Serbians have recaptured Ushup. which is not improbable if, as Saloniki dispatches report, the French hold the mitsa. for, with an army there and the Serbians at Veles. Uslkup would form a dang salient.
 Serhians Retire in Good Order.
 For the moment the danger spot for the Serbians is the northeast corner, where they are being attaelke from three sides and must eventually fall back toward the southwest. Thus far they have been retiring in good order and despite the seriousness of the situation. optimism. prevails in Serbian qtaarters in London, which are prob ably hest able to judge of the assist ance being sent by Trance, Great Bri- tain and Russia.

 The French according to German despatches. have already landed I 50, : 900 men, with one hundred guns at Sa.- loniki. While the Whereabouts of the British reinforcements remains a se- cref that they are Of considerable size may be judged from the fact that, al though General Sir Charles C. Monro, recently appointed to command the Ga1lipen operations. is already on the spot the government has decided to send out Major General Sir Bryant Mahon, who commanded the columns which relievedm Mafeking in the South African war, to cooperate with the French.
 Anxiety About Greece.
 Greater anxiety exists as to the at , titudes of Greece. It is known that Austria, Germany and Bulgaria have seriously complained of the continued hospitality shown the allies at Salon. iki and one account goes so far. as to say that the Greek government has asked the allies to leave Greek ter rftory. Against this is the quoted as- 1. strance given by the Greek minister l at Paris to the French government that ! Greece has no intention of committing any hostile act toward the allied troops.
