LONDON. Nov 15-The intimation Of the Greek government that any en- tcnte allies troops seeking refuge in Greek territory will be disarmed has been the cause of considerable anxiety to the entente powers, and cOnse- quently Field Marshal Kitchener's ap- preaching Near Eastern visit gathers

 Meantime the fight for Serbia pro- ceeds without abatement. The Austro- Germans and Bulgarians claim re- peated successes. but it is apparent that their progress is slow, the Ser bians now having reached their noun tain fortresses in central Serbia and the roads. or want of roads. making it difficult for the invaders to bring up their heavy artillery with which they always back up their infantry
 Tn the south there is little or no change. Tn the district northwest of Uskup, the Serbians still hold the Katchapik defile. barring the BuIgari- ans from the great plain of Kossovo. while tc the southwest of Uskup desperate struggle has taken place for the possession of Tetovo, which has changed hands several times. The Bull garians recaptured Tetovo yesterday, but report received at the Serbian
