London.-A Rome dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph say a telegram
to the Tribuna from Athens states
that the ~Bulgarians have captured
Monastir, and that the Servians are
in full retreat.
Little hope was held in England
that it would escape the Bulgarians.
There is a possibility, however, that
the invaders will o dare to make
much greater extension of their line.
with the French apparently estab-
lished solidly on their flank.
Left in the dark as to the actual
progress Of the A~nglo-French cam.
paign in the near east, the British
public can only hope the allies will
soon have such strong forces there
that they will enable the harassed
Servians to make a successful stand
and preserve a small portion of their
country, as the Belgians did along the
User.
Some substance is given this hope
by unofficial news that the Anglo
French force is now assuming formid.
able proportions as we'll as by hints
that Italy is on the verge of actual
participation in the Balkan campaign.

the machines far to the west, and
about 11:30-the time when the avia
tors knew they should be due in Aus

towns northwest of here to get their
bearings. Two aeroplanes landed at
Lampasas, about so miles northwest,
and another at Kingsland, a small
town a little nearer Austin, to take a
new reckoning.
The two aviators who had arrived
in Austin sent put an alarm over the
telephone lines for the tour belated

ITALIAN TROOPS

ALLIES THREATEN TO WITH
DRAW SPECIAL PRIVILEGES
FOR GREEK COMMERCE.
ENGLAND DENIES BLOCKADE
Unless Greece Comedies Allies De-
mands For Safety Of Troops In
eaikans, She Will ee Off the
Privilege List.

London.-Italian troops have begun
hnding on Albanian territory. accord
ing to q Chiasso dispatch to the Jour
nal La Suisse forwarded by the Cen
trail News correspondent at Zurich.
Instead Of declaring q general block.
ade OF Greek ports the allies. accord
ing to . statement issued by the Brit
ish foreign office, have withdrawn or
threatened to withdraw special priv
leges that Greek commerce has en-
Joyed since the wars outbreak.
The nature Of these special privi.
leges is not specifically stated, but as
an example Greece has been allowed
to draw her supplies of coal from
Welsh c0llieries. To do this Greek
merchants required special permits,
q the export OF coal from the British
Isles is allowed only under a special
license.
There are many other commodities
whose export is permitted only to GER
tain countries. Invariably when or
ders have been issued against the ex
port of these Greece has been except
cd. Now, unless she comedies the al
lies demands for safety of their troops
in the Balkans, Greece will be struck
Oft the list of countries that have these
privileges.
This less vigorous attitude on the
part Of the allied governments has
caused some dissatisfaction, but it has
eased the situation and the belief now
prevails that Greece, impressed by
Lord Kitchener's visit and the threat
to her commerce, will concede the de-
mands.
OF the fighting at the Balkans re
ports are more confusing than ever.
The Germans still claim progress Ii
recount the capture of thousands of
prisoners and many guns from the
Servians. But from the towns men,
toned their advance appears slow. 1t
may be. as reported from Italian
sources, that the campaign is waiting
on a change in the disposition of the
armies so that the Germans may be
the first to enter Monastir. This
would avoid the trouble likely to arise
through Greek objection to Bulgarian
occupation of the city.
