Both Berlin and Sofia continue TO en-
phasize the growing momentum of the
pursuit. While the Bulgars are clear

low Nish. the Austro-Germans have
thrown additional columns across the
first mountain ridge south of kralievo
and up the Razina Valley, southwes;
Of Krusevac. Further east the Teutons
have also reached Ribari and Ribarske-
Banya.
Great quantities of war material and
munitions, thrown away by the SERBS,
continue to be picked up by the in
vaders. Thus the Bulgars report the
capture of ten locomotives and more
than 400 railway cars, many Of them
laden with supplies, south of Leskovac.
Four howitzers, eight rapid fire guns
and several machine guns, with more
than 500 prisoners, were also included
in the spoils.

assaults of many times that number Oh
Bulgarians, the Serbians have sue

of mountains.
In the opinion of military experts
here the position of the Bulgars Is
now untenable and their Withdrawn
is expected. The threat against NeleS
by the Allies also operates o the same
end.
Prilep and Monastir, according to Sa-
lonica dispatches, are now resuming
their normal appearance. thousands
OF people who left in panic at the
approach of the invaders are now re-
turning. Suffering, however. Is said to
be increasing owing to the great lack
of food and shelter TO care for the
great number OF refugees.
