London. Nov. 2s.-The British public
Is not inclined to grant the German
contention that the Serbian campaign
Of the central powers has been brought
to standstill. The hope is expressed
that the winter weather will give time
for re-enforcing the Anglo French
troops until they ara strong enough
to assume the offensive before the in
vaders have consolidated their posi-
tions in Serbia. Russia also is counted
on to play . part in these operations.
In the meantime the only active opera
tions seem to be centering around
Monastir, che fate Of which is obscure.
The many contradictory reports on this
subject vary, from the assertions that
the city is still in the hands Of the
Serbians to the claim that the Bull
garians, accompanied by detachments
Of Austrians and Germans have occu-
pied the city.
Serb Armies Retrsatins.
Farther to the north it is reported
the Serbian armies divided into two
sections, are retreating to Albania and
Montenegro. It Is not yet apparent
whether the Austro- German forces are
to be sent against the Anglo-F'rench
lines north Of Saloniki. but at the
other extreme Of the Balkan front the
MontenegrenD are expecting heavy
attack from the Austrians.

Time Ripe For Peace Proposals.
Belief that the time has arrived for
/
definite terms Of peace Is expressed by
the Post in an. editorial on the ground
that there then win be less chance Of
losing in negotiations what has been
gained on the sea and on the field.
The Post contends that without SELL
ing the skin before killing the hear, it
may be assumed victory for the allies
Is assured. II only because, without un-
due strain, Great Britain could main
tain a naval blockade indefinitely, and
history has shown that such pressure
can insure victory in the end.
The newspaper protests against the
treaty OF commerce which has been
negotiated between Great Britain and
Denmark permitting commodities to
be exported between the two countries
to neutral countries.
In other words" says the Post, "the
foreign Office has created a commerce
whereby we may trade with the
enemy. &
