On the Western flank the Serbians pushed to the highest point in the mountain region of Cerna bend and cut the railway from Gardsko, southeast o° Uskub to Prilep, the base of the German army oper- |ating north and northwest of Monastir. By cuttin the railway lines the Serbs placed two large enemy | lines in great peril.
