Serbs Get Assurances
of Greece's Plan to Aid

itch Of Serbia intends to publish the

templated under the treaty of alliance
between Greece and Serbia, and asking
If the Greek army is ready to enter action
against Bulgaria, has been formally de-

Unable to Meet Request.
Beginning with the declaration that
"the royal government greatly regrets
that it Is unable to accede to Serbia s
request" the reply explains that the
alliance Of 1911. while foreseeing Bull
garian aggression, was limited to pre-
serving an equilibrium among the Bal
kan states
THE preamble Of the treaty" the re-
ply continues. defines 1t as Of purely
Balkan character not applying to a gen.
eral confagration. Both the treaty of
alliance and the military convention

that the contracting parties contemplated

For the last fourteen days of his stay

Win Striking Victory.
PETROGRAD, October 14.-Another
striking vistory has been won by the
Russians on the southern. front. in
eastern Ga1fcia- They have pierced
the last line of Austrian defenses on
the Stripa river and stormed one of
the strongest points on the Austro-Ger-
man right bank.
This achievement of the Russians.
the Dvinsk front, represented con-
tinuation of the recent strong Of
fensive movement north of the Ru-
manian frontier. The position they
stormed was on hill to the east of
the village of Giavoranka, on the right
bank of the Stripa, thirteen miles north
of Buchach.
Opponents Are Menaced.
This fertilization was constructed
scientifically and was of great strength.
From this base the Austrians mad pre-
flank extending toward Pinsk. The
Russian successes around Kolka and
Charloriesk. however, enabled them to
obtain a footing on the left bank of
the Styr. which seriously menaced
their opponents.
Having thus completely secured the
Rovno district and the road leading
: the Russians occupied strong positions
along the rivers Olychka, Styr and
: 1kwa.
Between 1000 and 5000 prisoners
were captured by the Russians. The
war office estimates that upward, of
!: three divisions of the Austrians were
!: disorganized. 1t characterizes this sue
cess as a tactical. strategical and po-
lftical victory, asserting it will compel
Gen. Won Linsingen to regroup his
forces on the whole front, which will
affect operations in the entire SOUTH
eastern district.
Driven Back From DvtnSk.
simultaneously with this movement
the Russians are developing their
operations around Dvinsk. Some time
ago the Germans were within artillery
range of the city, but they have now
been driven back distance of nine or
ten miles on the northwestern and
. southwestern fronts. At Lautzeshei,
northwest of Novo Alexandrovsk, Rus
sian artillery dispersed the Germans
North of the immediate Dvinsk dis
trict the Russians drove back the Ger
mans a distance of three miles.
Efforts of the invaders to reach
Dvtnsk along the highway from Novo
Alexandrovsk have cost them enor-
nous losses. 900 ---- -
