U[kFANO DAUn
Feared That There are not Enough
Allies in and Near SaloniH to
Save the Servians.
BIG GAINS MADE BY RUSSIANS.
Continued Landing of French and
English at Saloniki Brings
Protest to Greece.
London, Nov. 13.-The allies at
Saloniki are driving the advance
guard of the Bulgarians and the
Austro-Germans near Veles back, but
it is feared that there are not enough
allies in the district to save the Ser
bian army from destruction.
Berlin, Nov. 13.-The Teutonic
allies have taken eleven hundred
more Serbian prisoners. Berlin de-
MES that two German submarines
have been sunk near the strait of
Gibralter.

Calvados, which was sunk off the
African coast. Eighteen were drown
ed and the captain was killed on his
bridge.
London, Nov. 13.-The Admiralty

20, has been sunk in the Dardaneles.
A part of the crew was captured.
Paris reports the sinking of the
Italian steamer, Frienze, by an Aus
trian submarine. The vessel was of
four thousand TONS Six passengers
and fifteen members of the crew met |
their death.
London, Nov. 13.-The continued
landing Of British and French troops
at Saloniki is causing some uneasi-
ness to Bulgaria and Turkey and the
ministers of those two powers yes
terday again protested to the Greek
government.
M. skouloudis, the Greek premier,
replied, according to the Budapest
advices, that he took notice of the
protest and that the government
would do what was possible in order
to clarity the situation.
The determination of the entente
allies in their Balkan campaign is
shown by the large force they are
sending to the Balkans and news
was received from Rome yesterday
sufficient support to the British and
that Italy also had decided to inter- {

worthy of her greatness" and to give s
French to assure complete triumph. S
This is said to have had some influ- I
ence on Greece and Rumania. Ru. c
mania, however, is waiting for the d
development Of Russian plans. &c
Meanwhile the Austro-Germans l
and Bulgarians are advancing slowly I
in their efforts to cut off or annihi- f

forts, however, are growing more
difficult as the Serbians have occu-
pied, according to their official re-
port, we'll protected defensive posi-
tons. Big battles are proceeding in
the south between the Bulgarians
and the Anglo-French, but the re-
ports are SO conflicting that it can
not be said which side has gained an

SLAMS in the Riga region are at
tempting an outflanking movement 4
and their recent successes have
brought them within striking dis
