LONDON', Nov. 20. Check affairs
Imviiif emerged from (lie uncertainty
which for some time hns been a pot
ent menace to the allied enmpnign in
Die Uiilknns, Huninnin's problem now
command chief attention in Kurope.
Although Huinnnia is licset with dif
ficulties somewhat similar to those
which caused Greece to hesitate, she
is net invidved in the same, political
tmmoit and her situation is expected
to mature more rapidly
Itusslun Forces Heady
Whatever flennnn efforts have
hcen made in Iiuinnnia, it is believed
here that they have been largely off
set by thi) presence of Inrgo Kiissinii
J'mccs close; to the frontier, and the
now rapidly dei doping Russian prcp
a rat ions, with Odessa as a base, from
which no other infereneo is possible
thi'ii her imiuediale entrance into the
Hiilknn conflict.
Kmporor Nichuhis is said lo have
promised the appearance of Kussinn
troops in Dulgiuia within a week.
Then? aro increasing indications that
this campaign will he launched by
way of ltiimtiniu, and it is reported
that conferences arc now beinir held
between representatives of ltussiii
and Kiimnniii to obtain the hitter's
consent lo this move. This consent,
as intimatod clearly by Itumaninn
sMcmeii, has depended on whether
the .lilies gain a preponderance of
forces in the Pnlknns. Kumnnia

2."i0,0u0 Russian troops at It-mail and
Ifcui, nonr hor border.
Gorilla Near Full
No important achievement bus been
recorded on either side, since the
German announcement of the fall of
Prisliim and Mitrovitzn. With only
n small strip of territory left to de
fend, Serbia's leaders declare she is
unbeaten and can still harass the in
vaders. General Hoyad.jicff, tin
liulcariaii eouur.aniler, say, on the
other hand, that King Peter's troops
will be put out of action in a few
days.
No official report has reached
l.indon at noon today of tho capture
of Gvirizia by tho Italians, although
tho fall of tho r.ity wns regarded as
imminent. This impoitaut system of
fortifications, commundiuir the rail
road'lines conueuting tlia upper and
'oner Isonzo, and called tho key to
the Austrian dcieuscs to the nortl),
has been the nbjcctiu' for which th"
Italian annv has been struggling for
