WEEKLY WAR REVIEW

Teutons and Bulgarians the past
week continued their efforts to cut oil
or annihilate the Serbian army. These
efforts, however, are growing more
difficult, as the Serbians now have oc-
cupied, according to their official re-
port, defensive positions in the morn-
tains. Heavy fighting is reported on
the Moravia. Big battles also are
proceeding in southern Serbia De-
tween the Bulgarians and the Anglo
French troops. Rome announced Nov.
13 that Italy had decided to send
troops to aid the English and French.
The continued landing of British
and French troops at Salonica caused
Bulgaria and Turkey to send fresh
protests to the Greek government. A
dispatch dated Nov. IA states that
four German officers arrived at Sa-
lonica from Sofia on Oct % and spent
three days motoring in that district.
especially in the section where the
allied troops were concentrated on
the 2Sth. 1t is said that the Germans
constitute a special mission, whose
object was to establish relations be-
tween the governments at Athens,
Constantinople, Bucharest and Sofia.
King Constantine was assured by
the Germans. it is said, that Rou-
mania would remain neutral and that
Bulgaria's pledge to Greece would be
guaranteed by Germany.
According to series Of dispatches
from Petrograd the remunitioning of
the cars army is nearly complete.
The Russian offensive has begun in
earnest between Riga and Mitau. A
Berlin dispatch admits tnat the Rus
SLAMS have gained a footing in the
first line of German trenches.
Artillery engagements featured the
week on the western and Italian
fronts.

rate the capture of one Thousand or
more prisoners daily, q few guns and
quantities of stores.
For the moment, the political situa-
ton is graver than the military. The
central powers again have protested
to Greece against the landing Of allied
troops at Salonika. King Constantine
is reported to have replied that az
Salonica is an open port there has
been no infringement Of Greek rights
in the landing and that Greece VIII
remain neutral until one of the bel
ligerents has transgressed against
those rights.
The Servians are fighting continu-
ously, however, and are infiicting con-
siderable losses on their pursuers.
Along the eastern front the Servians
appear to be holding their own against
the Bulgarians and are making a
stand on the western bank OF the Mo
rava river So stubborn has been their
resistance the Bulgarians have had to
call for assistance from the Austro-
German artillery in their effort to
drive the defenders out of Katchanik
pass. Thus far they have been unsuc-
cessful.
The British and French troops,
which are receiving reinforcementsr
are meeting with some success, and,
besides repulsing the Bulgarian at.
tacks, have undertaken small often
sive movements with good results
The Austro-Germans and the Bulgar
ians, however, made such progress
from the beginning of the campaign
that 1t will take serious work now to

eastbound freight, pending removal Of
domestic and Nport freight at seaboard
points. the Pennsylvania Railroad has
ordered partial lifting Of the embargo
to allow products TO come into New
York for domestic use and gram 20
move into Philadelphia for export.
This order was declared at a meeting
of traffic officials held yesterday after
noon ia New York. Lifting of the em-
barge on grain went into effect last
night; products for New York and vi

The New York provision will apply to
domestic freight only. According to
this rule freight of all classes destined
for New York proper, Brooklyn and sur

- on the North river, as well as at the
Thirty street piers. Brooklyn
receiving stations will include the Wall
about and the Bush Terminal and the
New York Dock Company and the sur
rounding district.
So far as Philadelphia is concerned
the embargo ON export grain has been
entirely lifted. This embargo, il is un-
derstood, applies to grain en- route from
the West by rail, and not TO Buffalo,
where there now are some 100000
bushels of "lake grain" gathered The
local export situation has cleared to
such an extent, with the grain carriers
already in port and those on their way
here, that the railroad officials felt safe
in taking down the bars ON this com
