IAN CAPIT OVED TO SCUTARI Removal Made When Austro-Germans and Bulgarians Gained Command of Kossovo Plateau SERBS PRESSED BACK TO ALBANIAN FRONTIER Monastir is Still in the Possession of the Serbians, But the Bulgarians Are Pushing Toward It—General Von Call- witz in on His Way Down the Vardo Valley to Help Bulgarians Attack the Anglo-French Forces—Cordial Relations Have Been Established Between Greece and the Entente Powers—Russia Has Concentrated a Large Army on the Rumanian Frontier, Which Force is Caus- ing Berlin Some Uneasiness. London, Nov. 25, 9:55 D. M.wAS 2 result of the success of the Austro- Germans and Bulgarians in gaining command of the Kossovo plateau, the Serbian government has moved to Scutari, while the army is defending the little fringe of Serbia which lies between the Sitnika river and the Albanja and Montenegrin frontiers. It can be provisioned from Scutari, from -which place the Montenegrins built good roads during their occupa- tion. z Serbs Still Hold Monastir. Monastir is still in the possession of the Serbians, but the Bulgarians are pushing toward it, while the army of General Von Gallwitz is reported to be on the way down the Varda valley to help the Bulgarians attack the Anglo-French forces ‘Heavy cannonading continues on the western front; winter has put a slop io any big movements -on the eastern front, while the Italians are persisting in their offensive and are daily geiting nearer Gorizia, across the Isorzo, and Rovereto and Riva, in the Trentino. . Cordial relations between Greece and the entente powers have been es- tablished with the Greek government’s assurances that no attempt will be made to : imterfere with the allied troops should they under any con- tingency ‘be forced to cross the Greek frontier and that, as heretofore, rail- way and other facilities will be af- turded them. Greek Ships Allowed to Proceed That the assurances are satisfac- tory to'the allies is shown in the fact that Greek grainships which had been held up at Malta have been al- lowed ' to proceed to their destina- tions, relieving what would have been a very serious shortage of bread sup plies if their detention had been pro- longed. It is understood that the allies have also promised Greece a monetary in- demnity after the war for any damage which might be done through the oc- cupation of Greek territory. Attitude of Rumani With this thorny question out of the way, the British public has cen- tered its interest upon the attitude of Rumania _and the -intervention bf Russia. It is quite well established that Russia has concentrated a great army near the Rumanian frontier and despatches state that a large num- ber of "heavy guns have arrived at Odessa from Japan for its use. How- ever, the direction in which _this army ‘will move will be dictated by the pelicy the Rumanian government adopts. : Berlin Shows Uneasiness. Berlin shows some uneasiness, but, bevond that and the statement of the Rumanian premier, M. Bratiano, that the relations between Russia and Rumania were never better, there is nothing to go on.

LONDON POLICE ARE PROTECTING ARMY OFFICERS From the Wiles of Gamblers and Snares of Money Lenders. London, Nov. 25.—The police are dil- igently working to suppress gambling coming - Of and protect young officers . from the front from the snar guoney lenders. In the metropoli is a constantly changing but always large group of young officers, some home from fighting at the.front in France on short leave, some from the camps in the provinces. Naturally they are anxious to crowd as much city life excitement as possible into the few hours of freedom accorded them; hence, numbers, who are stran- gers in London, are willing to make friends, and have fallen victims to birds of prey of both sexes. Gamblers and money lenders have also been in part responsible for the troubles of young men who, under normal cir- cumstances, would have been invul- nerable to approaches from these classes. One of the fayorite. games has been an invitation to dinner or supper, fol- lowed by small hands at cards, in which the invited guest invariably lost, sometimes through drugged drinks, after which he was obliged to give a check, or, if left without money, found an obliging money lender close at hand who was eager to take an_officer’s promise to pay. Every steamer to America and most of those to the continent take away some “undesirables,” and the large community of persons,who lived flash- ily without visidle rdeans of support is rapidly being eradicated. BRITISH POLICE DEPORTING UNDESIRABLE ALIENS. London’s Underworld Contingent Being Given a Clean Sweep. London, Nov. 25, 10.07 p. m.—The British police are enforcing with a strong and free hand their power of deporting undesirable aliens. While they have always had this power, war conditions have made its use more de- sirable .than in ordinary times, and the defense of the realm act has given them more ironclad authority. No reason need be given those de- ported beyond the statement that they are considered undesirable. London, like all big cities, has had its large shady world of people living by their wits, but managing most of the time to evade criminal charges. This un- derworld contingent is now undergo- ing a clean sweep, and several of its members have been deported during the past month. The case attracting the most atten- tion is that of Tod Sioan, the former American jockey, who was arrested a day or two ago on a deportatiog order from the home secretary and will be sent back to the United States on the ground of being an undesirable alien, inasmuch as, it is alleged, he had been maintaining 'a gambling house.
