London, Nov. 10.-From the point OF
view Of the allies the Serbian situa-
ton grows steadily worse in the north.
but offers fresh ground for encourage
ment In the south. All the important
railroad lines thru Nish that remain
in Serbian hands is a small section IN
Leksinek. north of Nish, and this is
doubly threatened by the Bulgarian
advance to the Morava river and the
continued southwark drive of German
forces from Krusevac, both converging
upon Aleksinac. where it seems likely
that Junction soon will be affected.
South of Nish the railway Is un-
doubtedly in the hands of the Bull
garians as far as Veles, since Les
kovac has been recently taken by
them, but south Of veles, in the neigh
borflood Of Krivolik. the situation has
taken a turn more favorable for the
allies.
Four Attacks Repuissd.
The Bulgarians are persistently at
tacking this point, but Saloniki reports
they have been driven back no fewer
than four times. and the net result OF
the Bulgarian attempts to work them
selves behind the Serbian lines has
been heavy losses without their gain
ing foot Of territory.
French and British troops figured
conspicuously in the Bulgarian repulse
and It Is confidently believed here that
being reinforced by troops arriving in
large numbers. an offensive by the al
lies will be possible In the near future.
Financial Aid For Greece.
A loan by the allies TO Greece will,
IL is thought, tend .to cement friendly
sentiment and, s6y Hhowing the cora =
dence Of the entente powers in Greece,
do more than offers Of territory or
other inducements to quicken that
country's benevolent inclinations into
positive action.
Reports differ as to the probability
Of the dissolution Of the present Greek
chamber some stating that dissolution
is imminent and a decree on the point
is promulgated. and others that former
Premier venizelos and his party are
prepared to support the Skouloudis
cabinet General opinion seems to be
that all the elements are anxious to
avoid a political contest under the
present disturbed conditions.
The section Of the press favorable
a decree dissolving the chamber will
be promulgated tomorrow. says an
Athens dispatch.
Allied Forces Active.
Serbians operating In the defiles in

vancing from Uskup to Prisrend re-
port an important success. according
