MONASTIR HOLDS OUT
 AGAINST THE BULGARs

London Nov R23-The latest news from the Balkans has revived the hope in England that Monastir may hold out long enough to enable the French and British forces to effect a Junction with the Serbians. The Rome and London legations of Serbia have received reports of a great Ser bian victory northeast of Pristina, but as these advices five neither details nor dates there are doubts as to their importance.
 It is now believed allied forces which may take refuge on Greek ter ritory are hardly likely to be subpect- ed to attach from the rear. The most significant indication as to the pres ent attitude of Greece is contained in remarks made by M. Rhallis. Greek minister of justice, who is quoted in press despatches as having complain ed bitterly of methods adopted by the entente allies. He argued that their tardiness in bringing effective support for the Serbians made Greek pardci- patton impossible.
 M RhaIItsy declared, however, that the entente allies had no reason to fear danger if they should be forced across the Greek border.
 The French military position in Macedonia is reported to- have i'm proved The assertion is made that the Bulgarians retired to their posi- lions after a vain attack on the French lines.
 The seat of the Serbian government again has been shifted on this occa- sion to Prisren while the diplomatic corps has moved to Fetch. Monte negro.
 A message from, ConstantinopIe by way of Germany reports the resump- ton of a violent offensive by the all lies on the Dardanelles. No official confirmation of this report has been received.
 Except for. the Russian announce. ment of a repulse of the Germans in front of Riga nothing of importance has reached the public from the east ern line British artillery is busy on the western front where the only other activity of late has been min ing and aerial operations.

 Ado1ph Sherman, a builder with offices at p52 Main street. today ex- plained the building situation in Bridgeport in this manner:
 ''The present building code in its application to Bridgeport has proved a intolerance rather than benefit. While it will give the city a better class of buildings, it's detrimental fea- lures have already become apparent and sIirroIIding towns have already felt the impetus of building while thou sands of dollars are in sight for fur ther development in Stratford and Fairfield as soon as the land can be bought Eventually Bridgeport will lose its appeal to factories for under the present building code. house can not be- erected prcftably in Bridge port for the very class of workers that must need bs accommodated.
