Austrian forces have crossed the
upper Iber river from the north
ward, and Germans are pushing to
the northwestward up the Drenitza
valley toward junction between the
Kossovo plain and the Serbo-Montene-
grin border. They are making many
captures. but it is admittedly doubt
ful if they will be in time to cut off
the main army's retreat.
Guerrilla fighting is expected ior
some time, but so far rs regular
military operations are concerned, the
northern Serbia campaign is con-
sidercd practically o"er.
With their position secure in the
north. AuStro-German forces are on
their way now to join the BulgarS in
thei" struggle to eXpel the British
and French from southern Serbia.
Their advance dctachments are re-
ported in places within thirty-fve or
forty miles of the southern frontier.
A sharp watch is being kept on the
Russians and RounianiaBs. The news
papers openly discuss the chances
that Roumania will give Cars troops
right of way across her territory to
the Serbian and Bulgarian frontiers.
