LONDON. Nov. 10.4 From the paint
of view of Ihe allies, the Scibinn sit
uation grows steadily worse in tlio
north, but offers fresh ground for
encouragement in tho otith. All of
the important railway lino through
Nish that remains in .Serbian bauds
is a small section near Alekstnae,
north of Nish, and this is doubly
threatened by th" llulgarian advance
to tho Moravn river anil tlio contin
ued southward ill he of tho Gorman
foiccs from Knievnc, both converg
ing upon Aleksinnc, whore it seems
likely that a junction soon will be
effected.
South of Ni.h the railway is un
doubtedly in the hands of tho Unitar
ians as far as Vole-, since I.eskovau
lias been rocenll, taken bv them, but
south of Voles, in the neighhoihood of
ICiivolak, the situation has taken a
turn decidedly more favorable for the
allies. The Hiilgarians are still per
sistently attacking this point, but
Saloniki di-patch8 report they have
been driven back no fewer then four
times nml the net result of tho Hiil
garians' dcpcuito attempt to work
thcnis'-hcs behind the Serbian armv
has been heavy losses without tiieir
gaining a foot of territory.
Dcclslio Offensive
French and Ilrilish troops figured
conspicuously in this llulgnrinn ro
pulnc, and it is confidently believed
here that, reinforced by troops now
arriving in large numbers, a decisive
offensive by the allies will be pos
sible in the nenr future.

Reported to Have Aboard Ger

"WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. Tho
American stcamor Zealandla was for
cibly searched by a party from a Brit
lull cruiser last week whlto lying In
tho port of 1'rogresBo, Mexico. Tho
American consul thoro reports tho
cruiser now Is lying outHldo, presum
ably waiting to solzo tho ship.
On tho faco ot uuch a report as tho
consul sent, oven though Incomplete,
Iho ofNctul conclusion hero is that
tho Hritish naval authorities not only
violated Mexican neutrality, but far
exceeded tholr rights In forcibly
Hoarchlng an American Blilp In a neu
tral port.
To Attack Oil Tnulo

Hritish ngonts on tho trail of ships
supposed to bo fitting out In tho Unit
ed Statos for attacking oil carrying
ships from Mexican oil fields whore,
tho Ilrltlsh navy draws a groat pro

On October 7, tho Kolandla, for
merly n Hawaiian ship, inyBtorlounly
loft Pcnsacola, Kin., nt night for Tarn
ptco, Mexico, carrying a largo stock
of provisions and manned principally
by Germans. An American flag
painted on her hull had boon painted
over and It was reported that while
at soa sho flow tho German colors,
although this was flatly donlcd by her
ownore.
Ship's Movements
Tho ship moved from Tampco to
Cnmpccho, whoro Ilrltlsh agents lo
cated hor and reported that bIio boro
a largo quantity of rosin for which
thoro was no ostcrislblo ubo In Moxlco,
although It Is usod largely for making
shrapnel. Thoy also reported their
suspicions that slid boro n largo quan
tity ot copper and tho Ilrltlsh view
was that thu ship was waiting for ait
opportunity to slip out with tho cargo
for hoiuo port whoro It would find Itu
wny to Groat Ilrttnln's enemies.
Nothing further of hor movements
wns reported until today when tho
American consul roportod sho had
been forcibly searched In port by a
party from tho Ilrltlsh crulsor which
had been lying outablo. "What tho
soarchoru found, tho consul did not
roport, but Inasmuch as ho reported
tho cruiser still lying In wait It was
supposed they found something
aboard that gavo them a reason to
await tho Zolandla's departure.
Tho Zolandla Is reported to havo
