Paris, Nov. 22.-Heartened by occu-
patton OF their ancient city, Monastir,
the Serbians, assisted by the forces of
the Entente Powers, are hotly pur-
suing the Teutons who withdrew from
that city Sunday
The Allies are pressing nOrthward
toward Prilep and seem to be, meeting
with considerable success.
Feelings Of Unrest.
To offset this advance, however,
London advices do not disguise feel
ings of unrest over the occupation of
Carfova by the Teutons Yesterday
In their flight from Monastir, the
,Teutons abandoned enormous stocks
of military supplies. The value is un-
estimated. but fragmentary advices
say they include big stores of food,
railway rolling stock and engineering
material. All these have proved Of
inestimable value to General Farrail.
The Italians are entering into the Bal
gan struggle with exceptional vigor.
/ T. 81. Needs Wheat. ~f
It became known today that Ger
many is in desperate need of wheat.
It is known also that Cariova had
good stores of grain, but there is no
report as to whether the citizens emp
tied the granaries there before aban-
doning the town othe invaders.
There is no word from Bucharest
admitting the capture of Cariova or
the effect of this upon the Wallachian
campaign.
On the Flanders front an intense
fog hindered operations.
Shower Of Flowers.
The allied troops entered Monastlr
on the heels of the retreating Bulgar'
ians according to description of the
fall of the city telegraphed the Petit
Journal by it's correspondent on the
Serbian front. The dispatch, dated
Sunday, says: ...,'....
"The last Bulgarian patrol Of seven
teen troopers left the city at $3.50 a.
m. just as the Allies advance guard
entered. Women showered flowers on
the victorious troops as they marched
through the Streets. The night before
the enemy, after defiling thrice
through the main street, pillaged all
the stores. and toward midnight set
fire to the ambulances, barracks, for
age depots and all buildings OF mil
itary nature.
"The retreat began about a. m.
The officials had evacuated the night
before and nearly 5000 Bulgarian fam
lilies left two days ago. The infantry
was not clear of the outskirts until
8 a. m. The enemy is being closely
pressed by our troops, but bad wealth
er makes both pursuit and retreat
difficult.
"The enemy will attempt to form
upon a line seventeen miles to the
north, which was prepared two
months ago and which passes approx
imately along the Topolchani heights
by the villages of Klepao, kahartlachi
and Hill .,506 of the Visoko range.
During the last two days he has been
obliged to abandon an enormous guam
tity of material. We found among
other things at Monastir a number OF
locomotives which will be precious
to u.s."
The Allies have penetrated German.
Bulgarian lines between Ochirda and
Prespa Lare and the plains OF Mon
astir. East Of Paralova, official state
ments say, the Allies have captured
an important vantage point and are
holding it against sanguinary attacks.
On the Ancre front there is active
artillery firing. Germans centered flre
on the British right south of Ancre
and to the north, but the Allies re-
pulsed all attacks.
Two German detachments penetrat'
ed into the British trenches. Their
defensive works were destroyed and
several prisoners taken.
