BULGARS CAPTURE
SERBIAN CAPITAL
OCCUPATION OF NIsH OPENS
ROUTE FOR CENTRAL POWERS
TO SOFIA AND TURKEY.
The Bulgarian and German Main
Armies Have Effected a Juncture
and Campaign Probably Win
Move at Faster Pace.

London.-The Bulgarians have oc-
cupied Nish, the Serbian war capital,
which gives them complete control OF
the railway from Prahovo, on the
Danube, and thus opens a through
route for the central powers to Sofia
and Constantinople.
In addition, the Bulgarian and Ger
man main armies have effected a
1uncture at Krivivir. SO that the cam
paign, which has been somewhat
slower than expected, probably will
hove at faster pace. In fact, ex-
cept for the southern part of Serbia,
the invasion Is already gathering
more headway, and despite Serbian
resistance, the invading armies have
all made considerable progress.
More than half of Serbia is now in
possession of the invaders, and it is
said in Berlin that the Serbians
have an open line of less than sew
enty miles for retreat into Montene-
gro. Should they seek refuge in that
country they would be menaced by
Austrian forces, which already have
begun an attack along the northern
and western Montenegrin frontiers.
In the south, however the allied
forces appear to be too strong for the
Bulgarians, who admit that they are
faced by superior nulnbers.
More allied troops are being sent
from Salonih to the scene of the
fghting IN the hope that they will be
able by the capture of Veles to COM
pei the Bulgarians, who advanced
west of Uskup, to retire and clear the
SalonikisMitrovitza railway. SO that
assistance can be sent to the Serbian
northern army
