FALL OF MONASTIR
HAILED AS IMPORTANT
Town VIII Serve IS Useful Railway
Head for Entrance to Serbia.


London. Nov 90 $50 a m.-The fall OF
Monastir on the anniversary Of its cap
ture by the Serbs from the Turks in 1872
is hailed by the morning newspapers as
being Of considerable political and mill
tary Importance. It is believed that as
Bulgarias main object in entering til.
war was the possession of Macedonia the
loss Of the Macedonian capital must bring
an acute sense of failure both TO the
Bulgar politicians and military officers.
On the other hand il is contended
that tn. recapture OF the town will
greatly encourage the Serbs whose re-
cent valiant capture of Kain,akalan
mountain prepared the way for the
city's hall The recapture OF Monastir
had been expected here, but II came
sooner than had heen anticipated and
with almost dramatic suddenness.
A point which is considerably dis
cussed by the military writer's is the
inability ot Germany to send aid to
the defenders. This is claimed to have
important significance. It is urged
that Field Marshal Won Hindenburs.
chief of the German general staff. had
known for six weeks that Monast
was threatened. and yet was COM
PEELED to allow such an important
point to pass into enemy hands with
out an attempt to avoid the
catastrophe
The military commentators recognize
that Monastir Is not a lrst rate military
position. bur they contend II will be a
useful railhesd. opening the way for an
advance into Serbia proper. 1t Ia antici-
pated. however. that the snow will pre-
vent the entente from getting much far.
Their at present. while the losses the cap
tors Of the town are assumed to have
suffered In common with the defenders
during the past weeks of desperate night
ing. are expected to necessitate a period
