London, Nov 1, 10 D. m.-The Ger mans have occupied Kragaayevatz, the arsenal town of Serbia, while their Bulgarian allies are pushing their way through the mountains ot Nlsh, Serbia's war capital.

 From all sides the Germans, Austri- in on the Serbian armies, the position of which grows graver daily. They are fighting fiercely, however. to save their country and have inflicted such losses on Field Marshal Won Mackenzen's force that he has been compelled to more serious work of invading the eastern and southern part of the coun- try to the Bulgarians, who have had more experience in mountain warfare such as the Serbians are wagihg.
 BuIears Moving Westward.
 From the junction of the Danube and Timok rivers, in the northeast, to Uskup. in the south, the Bulgarians are moving westward. driving the Ser but from USkup southward they have been checked, as the Serbians in that territory have been reinforced by the French and British with modern guns and with gunners who gained valuable experience in France and Galipoli ISSy Olld l1IS 1OIGSSa aAdIlQ0u dL Get1O1llh1, which German estimates piace at TO- z000 meTi. there is no news of further assistance being sent by the allies to Serbia
 Russians Reported Of Varna.
 Russian troops have been reported off Narna, but the report lacks com. 6rmation. There is, however, evidence in despatches from Bucharest that the people of Rumania at least desire in teryention and that pressure is being brought on the king and cabinet to induce them to join the allies and per- init a Russian force to pass through Rumanian territory to attack Bulgaria from the east. Greece continues her friendly neutrality
 Germans Fail to Reach Riga.
 The Germans, having failed in two months of almost incessant attacks to reach Riga and Dvinsk by various routes, are now trying along the rail way which skirts the shores of the Gulf of Riga from Tukum and have, according to their reports, reached a point west of Schlok. This is a very aver which it is difficult to move, lies bA @a cen them and their objective.
 New Russian Offensive.
 In the Dvinsk sector. both west and southwest of that city, the Russians have begun an offensive, apparently in anticipation of renewed attacks by the Germans, and they are also on the move in the lake district east of the Dvinsk-Vilna railway and in Volhynia and Gaiicia. The result of these vari- ous battles has not been disclosed, if indeed, they are concluded. Those at the southern end of the line are doubtless designed to prevent the Ger mans and Austrians from sending re- Inducements to Serbia.
 Battle for Butte de Tahure.
 In France the battle for the Butte de Tahure, which the Germans recaptured from the French, is still in progress without changing the positions of the two. armies. There has been some lighting at other points in the west What the attacks on this front have cost ise shown by report issued by Field Marshal Sir John French tonight He says that the published lists of the German casualties disclose that seven German battalions which took part ir the Loos fighting presumably a Ger man counter attack-lost 80 per cent of their strength.
