SERB CITY CAPTUREp,

Berlin, Nov. 8. - The city of Usitee
(Uzice), northwestern Serhi1, has
been captured by the Germans, the
war office announced today.
Uzice is the capital of the Serbian
province of that name and is fifty-three
miles southwest of Kraguyevatz. It's
strategical Importance is derived large
ly from the fact that it Is a railroad
terminus, control of which places the
Germans in possession of still larger
part of the Serbian railroad system.
Uzice lies midway between Cacak,
capture of which was announced yes
terday at Berlin, and the Bosnian bor-
der. The German advance in this di-
rection has thus been carried within
about twenty-five miles of the Bosnian
border, where Austrian forces are at
tempting an invasion of Serbia.
