Although no ofilriul confirmation has been rcceiv fd of tho rejwrt that tho Mulgnrinna Jmvii cuptnrod Monustir, in south western ScrJiin, little hope is felt in r,nginiiii mat mo nnnouneement is premature. Accepting it ns true, the impression is growing thut tho en tente allies arriveil too late to give any service to the Serbians. The only thing certain in regard to the plight of Serbia is that its mili tary Kituatiou is going from bad to worse. In thu north the main Serb ian nnnicti arc giving vvny slowly be low tho battering Austro-Oenwin forces, which probably will move more rapidly if weather conditions were better. It is established that tho Bulgarians arc in l'rilcp and at least have made Monustir untenable. Tho Anglo-French armies based on Salouiki seem to do no better than hold their positions.
