BULGARS FINISH
SERB CAMP AIGN;
MONASTIR SAFE
King Peter Narrowly Es-
eapes Capture at Priz-
rend. Saws Sofia.

London, Dec. Like Germany, Bull
gsria announces that with the capture
OF Prizrend her campaign against Ser
bia has como to an end, which seems
TO support the suggestion that, to avoid
. dispute with Greece, King Ferdinand
Of Bulgaria has decided against the
occupation of Monastir, the only town
Of any Importance remaining in Ser
bian hands. Monastir was still In the
hands Of the Serbians until last Mon
day night, and no news that there has
been any change there has been re-
ceived since.
Austria, with the assistance OF some
German troops. continues her opera
tions against Montenegro, the frontier
OF which has been crossed, but not
without considerable opposition from
the Montenegrins, who are masters In
mountain warfare and who have been
ioined by some portions Of the Serbian
armies which succeeded in escaping
from the invaders of their country.
Battles are now being fought In that
part of the Sanjak OF Noyipazar which
was taken by Montenegro after the Bal
kan war. The Austro-Germans are ad-
yancine south from Sienica and across
the frontier from Priepolje. In the
north the Montenegrins claim to have
defeated the Austrians In the region
Of Fotcha, Bosnia. 1t Is expected, how
ever, that the Austro-Germans have
provided sufficient forces to make sure
of a successful campaign, as they ola
in the case Of Serbia.
Rumania Still Uncertain.
In Southeastern Serbia, where the
British, French and Serbians hold
strong positions, the snow still pre-
vents any movements of Importance. No
news has been received Of the Aus
trians and Germans who proceeded to
Rustchuk, on the Danube River. to CO.
operate with the BulGarians and Turks
to oppose a possible Russian invasion
through Rumania.
The attitude of Rumania is still un-
certain. The latest reports say that
she, like Greece, is trying to remain
neutral, but with two belligerent arm
les on her borders it is believed this
may prove difficult.
Greece in her reply to the latest note
Of the Entente Allies insists upon the
maintenance of her neutrality and in
dependence, and a final settlement OF
the points at issue between the Hellenic
kingdom and the Entente powers IS hoS
vet in sight. Greece objects, accord
