agency II says all operations
have been halted by snow storms
and bad weather
London, Nov. 2s.-The London morn
ing newspapers today lay emphasis on
the GeFman official report, announcing
"the conclusion" OF the main operations
against the serbians, as limiting to an
important change in the Balkan situa-
ton.
The Daily MATHS Odessa correspond
ent says he learns that Enver Pasha,
the Turkish minister or war, and Gen.
eral Won Falkenhayn, chief captain of
the German staff, have had a confer
ence at cr7ova. on the Danube, to dis
cuss far reaching alterations in the
by unexpected developments in the
movements OF the entente allies"
Russians at the Danube.
The Daily Mail says it suspects that
these alterations are necessitated by
the threat Of the Russian army, con-
centrating at the mouth of the Danube.
and by the threatening attitude of Ru-
mania.
The British public. is not inclined to
grant the German contention that the
Serbian campaign Of the central pow
ers has been brought to a successful
conclusion.
The hope Is expressed here that the
wintry weather will give time for re-
inforcing the Anglo French troops un-
I'll they are strong enough to assume
the offensive, before the Invaders have
consolidated their positions in Serbia,
Russia also is counted on to play a
part in these operations.
Monastir's Fate Unknown. F
In tho meantime. the only active mil
1tary operations seem to be centering
about Menastir, the fate OF which IS
obscure. The many contradictory re-
ports on thisN subject vary, from the
dSScTuOn Lnat the city Is still In the
hands Of the Serbians to the claim that
the Bulgarians, accompanied by de-
tachments OF Austrians and Germans,
have occupied the city.
Serbians Still Retreatina.
Further to the north il is said the
Serbian armies divided into two Sec
tons are retreating into Albania and
Montenegro. 1t is not yet apparent
whether Austro- German forces are to
be sent against the Anglo French lines
north OF SalOniki, but at the other ex-
treme OF the Balkan front the Monten-
egrins are expecting a heavy attack
from the Austrians.
Hope For Rumania's Aid.
The allies are hopeful that Rumania
will cast in her lot with the Russian
expedition. Serbia has been cleared
and 1t rs now evident that the Ger
manic. powers must face about to meet
the Russians descending upon them
from the north and east. Rumania Is
within this probable new zone of ac-
ton and the situation for her is hourly
growing more serious. ...
Russian warships have been seen off
the Bulgarian coast but there is no
report that troops have actually landed.
Emperor Nicholas is said to have col
lected an army of 100000 men along
the Rumanian frontier, at Odessa and
Sebastopol.
