Allied Force Moves
North.

Londonderry day, every hour
adds to the peril Of the Servian armies
fighting desperately to hold back the
Austro-Germans from the north and
the Bulgarians from the east, until the
assistance their allies are sending can
reach them.
The Bulgarians have extended their
grip on the Belgrade-Salonik railway,
north and south of Nish. and have oc-
cupied Leskovac, south OF the cap
tured capital, and Aleksinac, to the
north. At the latter point they are in
close touch with the German army,
which, after occupying Kruzavac, ex.
which, afer occupying Kruzevac, ex-
tended its left wing as far as Djunis,
on the left bank of the Bulgar morava
The AustroGermans advancing
southwark are making progress except
in the west, where the Montenegrins
are holding them. The invading forces
are reaching the most difficult part OF
Servia, the mountainous region, where
the natives, knowing every hill and
gully, can offer the strongest resist
ance. The Austrians and Germans,
however, are plentifully supplied with
mountain guns, with which they ex-
pect to drive the defenders from their
Businesses.
In the south the evergrcw!ng
strength of the French and British
forces is beginning to tell. They are
pressing an energetic offensive against
the Bulgarians; have managed to keep
the railroad clear as far as veles and
are barring the Bulgars' route to Mo
nastir.
While 1t will be some time before
the Germans can sufficiently repair
the northern end of the railway for
transport Of troops and munitions,
their successes have enabled them to
send supplies to the Bulgarians and
Turks by the Danube as far as Niko-
polls, from which point they can be
sent by rail to Sofia and CONSTANT
nople.

BULGARlANS CAPTURE NIsH
Capture Of Serb War Capital Opens
Railroad To Turkey--Greek
Status Unchanged.

London.-The Bulgarians have oc.
cupied Nish, the Servian war capital,
which gives them complete control of
the railway from Prahovo, on the Den.
ube, and thus opens a through route
for the central powers to Sofia and
Constantinople.
In addition the Bulgarian and Ger
man main armies have effected juno.
ton at Krivivir, so that the campaign,
which has been somewhat slower than
expected. probably will move at
faster pace. In fact, except for the
southern part OF Servia, the invasion
is already gathering more Roadway,
and despite Servian resistance, all the
invading armies have made consider.
able progress.
In the south, however. the allied
forces appear to be too strong for the
Bulgarians, who admit that they are
faced by superior numbers. 1t is re.
ported through the German legation at
Athens that the British. French and
Servians have inflicted a severe de-
feat on the Bulgarians at Izvor, 10
miles west of the vardar river, where
the French left wing joins the right
of the Servian southern army, and
that the Bulgars are retreating toward
veles.
More allied troops are being sent
from Saloniki to the scene of the fight
ing in the hope that they win be able
by the capture Of veles to compel the
Bulgarians, who advanced west OF Us
kub. to retire. and clear the Saloniki-
Mitrovitza railway so that assistance
can be sent to the Servian northern
army.
All assistance that reaches the Ser
vians apparently must be sent by the
British and French. for. despite the
defeat OF the Zaimis government and
the triumph Of venizeios in the Greek
chamber, there is no evidence that
Greece intends to change her policy.
