London Relieved.

LONDON, Oct. 25.-The victory of the Allies in Serbia and the cheerful attitude of the government of that country has dispelled in large part the deep gloom that segtled down over England's capital and which was reflected in the large church congre- gauons that characterized the obser vance of the Sabbath yesterday.
 However. there is no disposition to refuse to recognize the extreme grav- fly of the war situation. which 1t is agreed is anything but reassuring. In thousands of churches yesterday clergymen prayed for success to the arms of the Empire. and urged con gregations, largely dressed in mourn ing. to aid in recruiting more and yet more troops for the colors.
 Pressure Brought Everywhere
 To relieve the situation in Serbia. pressure is being applied to the enemy everywhere. Russia has followed the checking of von Buelow's drive at Ri- ga by a counter offensive, and the Germans are being forced from ad- vanced positions. Russia is still ham merlng at the German lines in Poland and along the Galican front Fur ther successes are noted in Galicia.
 On the west front. the Allies are beginning to press the Germans at all points Probably at no time in the war has there been greater volume of shells thrown at the enemy than are being consumed by the artillery fire that is in progress along the whole line.
