London, Nov. 14.-The position Of
the Serbian army and the attitude Of
Greece toward the Entente powers is
still the outstanding questions Of in.
terest in Europe. 1t is thought pos
sible that the Serbians will make
their stand on the old historical site
of Kossovo, east of the Montenegrin
frontier, where over 500 years ago
they lost their independence to Tur-
key. They must either do this or re-
treat to the mountains in Montenegro
or northern albania. Although. they
would be nearer help in the Adriatic
it would be difficult to keep them sup.
piled owing to the absence Of roads.

The Austro- Germans on the north
are now within 30 miles of Mitroyit-
za-Pristina line of the Serbians, while
