London, Oct. 27.-The Allies have
asked the Serbian headquarters to re-
sist the Teutons and Bulgarians for
only five days more, by which time eff
fective aid from the Allies will be
forthcoming, says the Daily Telegraph
Nish correspondent. The correspond.

French Pursue 6uigars.
London, Oct. ga dispatch to Reu~
ters Telegram company from Athens
says: Reliable news received con-
corning the last battle near Valandove
is to the effect that the French pur
sued the Bulgarians to the frontier
The Bulgarians have been defeated In
the sector of Krupuli to which three
Serbian regiments from Strumitza pro-
ceeded and occupied the left bank OF

sector between Dorian and CRATIC"
BuIgars Are In Peril.
London, Oct 26.-Bulgarian forces
which invaded south Siberia, pene
trating to Istip, Veles and Uskup, have
been placed in great peril by a sharI
advance Of the French, who are now
reported 40 miles north OF the Greek
border.
The French after effecting a Juno
ton with the Serbian army OF the
South, fell upon the Bulgarians at
Krivolak and inflicted upon them SO
severe g. defeat that there Is no queS
ton OF their ability to take the In
vaders on the flank. Some reports say
the Bulgarians already are in flight
toward Strumitza with the Serbian
cavalry in pursuit.
Turks Arrive Too Late.
German advices via. Amsterdam
state that Turkish cavalry has arrived
at Egri Palanda and is proceeding to-
ward Veles. Apparently they arrived
too late to be of assistance. 1t is adj
mitted In these dispatches that $500
Bulgarian wounded have arrived al
Philoppopolis from Serbia and that the
Bulgarian loss at Istip was 5000 men
The Serbians, it is said, burned the
munition depots there before leaving
Istip.
British military experts now assert
that the situation in Serbia, willis
serious, Is far from desperate, and the
help which the entente powers are
now rushing to the scene will in all
probability be sufficient to turn the
scale, as the Germans, they assert
cannot send adequate re-enforcementf
to Serbia so long as the present pres
sure is maintained in France, Russia
and Italy.
Thousands Are Slain.
With the entente forces now in a~
ton, which are said to comprise co.
900 first line French troops and per
haps 10000 British colonials, the Ser
bans, the experts say, will be able to
check or retard the various invasions
of their country until the Allies can
bring their full strength to bear. This,
of course, is the British view; Berlin
Is no less confident that the invasion
is progressing exactly us it was plan
ned.
The bombardmert Of Dedeaghatcb
caused the death of 10 civilians and
more than 1000 soldiers, and there
also were a large number of soldiers
wounded, says a dispatch to the Ex'
