Paris Report.

BY United Press.
PARIS. Oct. 14.-According to re-
ports received today, the Germans are
hard pressed by the allied forces along
the western front and are losing
ground to the Russians.
The Austrians are reported to be
retreating in Galicia. The Austro-
Germans are making progress in their
campaign in the Balkans but slowly.
It is believed that the Serbians will
be able to hold them back until rein
forced by Anglo-French troops from
Salonika or by Russians either via the
Black Sea or Roumania.
A dispatch from Rome says Premier
Viviana told the senate that Italy had
decided to join in the Balkan cam
paign. The Rome correspondent of
the Petit Journal" however, quotes
good authority as saying that Italy
will not aid the allies in the Balkans
with troops.
