London - The greater portion of
what remains of the Serbian northern
army is believed to have crossed into
the mountains of Albania and Monte
negro, where the Serbs are continuing.
with the aid Of King Nicholas troops
and supplies, which are reaching them
from the Adriatic, to offer stern resis-
tance to the Austro-G German and Bull
garian invaders.
Like the BeIgains. however, the Ser
bians hold only fringe Of their coun-
try, which widens as it reaches the
southwestern corner, Of which Monas-
tir ID the center.
For some reason, variously ex-
planned, the Bulgarians have halted
their march on Monastir. It Is said In
some dispatches that, having reoccu-
pied part Of Macedonia, largely In
habited by their fellow nationals, the
Bulgarian people and government are
disincIined to push any farther west.
