London. Nov. 1O.-Every day, every
hour, adds to the peril of the Serbian
armies, fighting desperately to hold
back the Austro-Germans pressing
them from the north and the Bulgar-
ians invading their country from the
east, until the assistance their allies
are sending can reach them
The Bulgarians have extended their
grip on the Belgrade-Saloniki- 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 Krusevac, ex-
tended its left wing as far as Djunis,
on the left bank of the Bulgar Morava
Harder for Teuton.
The Austro-Germans advancing
southwark, are making progress ex-
cept in the west, where they are be-
ing held by the Montenegrins The in
vading forces now are reaching the
most difficult part of Serbia The
Austrians and Germans, however, are
lentifully supplied with mountain
guns, with which they expect to drive
the defenders from their Businesses
In the south, the ever-growing
strength of the French and British
forces is beginning to tell. They are
carrying on an energetic offensive
against the Bulgars; have managed to
keep the railway clear as far as Veles,
and are barring the Bulgars' route to
Monastir.

to the allies for financial assistance

forable consideration
Italy Finds Better Way"
Rome, Nov. 10.-What appears to be
forecast that Italy will send troops
10 Albania to aid the Serbs, is con-
tanned in a Semi-officia1 note which
says that while Italy did not partici-
pate in the recent expedition of the
allies to assist Serbia, she has found
better way to oppose the Austro-Ger-
man-Bulgarian attack upon Serbia.
Take Another Servian Town.
London, Nov. 9.-The Austro-Ger-
mans have succeeded in crossing the
Morava river in Servia and General
Won Gallwitz has occupied Krusevac,
one of Servia's largest towns, about
thirty miles due northwest of Nisl1.
The fall of Krusevac means that the
branch railway line to Ushitze, near
the Bosnian frontier has been broken
by the invaders close to the point
where it leaves the main Belgrade
Saloniki line. A large number of pris-
oners, ten guns and lot of war ma
terial fell into German hands.
The Bulgarians also are advancing
from the east, but in the west the Mon
tenegrins claim to have inflicted an
other defeat on the Austrians. The
Austrians are said to be concentrating
a force of 10000 men in Herzegovina
for an invasion of Montenegro.
Russians are Active.
The Russians continue their attacks
in Courland, Volhynia and Galicia and,
while they report some successes, they
apparently are not making any at
tempt to advance. According to Pet
rograd correspondents, there is no in
tention of such an attempt, the pres
ent object of the attacks is to harrass
the AustrO-Germans and prevent them
from preparing positions for the win
