Austro-Germans Still Pro
crossing Through
Morava Valley
ON TO TURKS CAPITAL.
Seat of Serbian Government Remov'
ed From Nish to Prizrend, Close
to Albanian Border.

London, Oct. 2l-Field Marshai
Mackensen's Austro-G German steam
roller is still progressing through Ele
Morava valley of Serbia toward Con-
stantinople.
All along the Serbian northern
frontier, for fifty miles east and west
of Belgrade, there is more or less
fighting, but the main drive is by way
Of the Morava valley. Won Macken--
sen is reported to have been re-en-
forced several times. He is losing
heavily. SO, howver, are the Serbians'
The Russian invasion of Bulgaria
is believed here to be an effort 10
bring aid to Serbia from another
source.
Bulgarians today occupied Radu-
ieyatz Serbia. The inhabitants are
seeking refuge in Roumania.
Raduievatz is in northeastern Ser
bia on the Danube at point near the
Serbo- -Bulgarian-Rou frontier
The capture indicates the progress o.
the Bulgar move toward a junction
with the Austro-German forces IN
NOrhcrn Serbia.
According to the Berlin Lokal An
zeiger the occupation of knisheVatz
by the Bulgarians is imminent.
Knishevatz is about thirty miles north
east of Nish.
The Serbian capital has been moved
from Nish to Prizrend in the west,
close to the Albanian borGer.
The Bulgarians are across the
Serbian frontier at a number of points
Their main object seems to he to
cut the railroad from Salonika. The
biggest fight for the lines possession
is south of Uskub. Opposing the Bul-
CARS, besides the Serbes, is an un-
known but probably not very large
number of French and British troops.
Salonika dispatches say that the
Bulgars in this region. though still
on the. offensive, have been repulsed
rs often as they attacked.
Whether the Bulgarians did not take
Varnia at oil or took it and were dis
lodged later, as was confiictingly re-
ported, the town was in the Serbs
hands at latest accounts. North OF
Vrania, however, the Bulgars hold
the railroad to Nish.
In the Serbian extreme northeast,
an Austrian and Bulgarian force are
still struggling through the difficult
mountain country toward 4 junction.
Through endorsements are on tHe
way, the allies are not yet in sufficient
strength at Salonika to help the Serbs
effectively.
