Escape From Nets Spread by

Only Hope Of the Defend

Amsterdam. Nov. 18.--The situa-
tion OF beleaguered Serbia IL desper-
ate today. Both her northern and
southern armies are In danger Of
capture.
The best she can hope for Is a
chance to abandon the nation to its
invaders.
There Is q possibility that the
northern army can give The Austro-
Germans the slip and fee into Monte
negro. where they would be well
coined.
In the south. however, the outlet
is at ochrida in the southwestern
corner OF Serbia. From there. per-
haps, the Serbs will make their way
into Albania. but even so. they are
likely TO receive hostile reception.
while II they fed into Greece they
probably would be interned.
Everywhere the Austrians. Ger
mans and Bulgarians are rapidly
completing their work Of clearing the
nation Of Its defenders.
In the south two great events are
developing. "A big battle is brewing
about Strumnitza. near the Serbian
Bulgarian boundary. while Monastir
apparently can hold out only few
hours more. The Bulgar armies. In
force, have joined at Prilep and are
sweeping toward Monastir. a COM
paratively short march.
Most Of Monastir's population has
fed. British troops are hurrying to
the relief of the city, but It is doubt
full whether they will arrive in time
to prevent the place from falling in
to the Bulgars' trap.

last moment anyone does waver. his

condemned man to present fresh tes-
timony. None has been forthcom-

presented between now and dawn.

be led from the death chamber out

the death chair will be waiting. He
