Serbs recaptured Krushevo, west of Prilep, (Krushevo is fifteen miles nearly due west of Prilep and twenty. five miles northwest of Monastir. The capture suggests that the Serbs are not only making good their defense of the Monastir district, but are progressing considerably with their renewed advance to the north.) BERLIN, Nov, 27 (via Wireless to Sayville).—The number of Serbian prisoners taken up to the present time by the Gerinan, Austro-Hungarian and Bulgarian troops, says the Overseas News Agency, is 101,000 officers and men, | ‘The invading forces also have rescued 2,000 Austro-Hungarians who had) been made prisoner by the Serbians but later abandoned during the hasty retreat of King Peter's forces. “With the capture of the Serbian °——————————__________ towns of Mitrovitza and Pristina the Inst section of the railroad from Uskup to Mitrovitza was wrested from the Serbians. “Reports from the state that the Colonel in command of the Serbians in the Zoye ar district before retreating ordered (he destruc- tion of the copper works.

PARIS, Nov, 27.—Press derpatches from Athens say that the French and Hiritish forces landed at Salonica now number 125,000, These forces are abundantly supped with arms and ammunition. Some 40,000 or 45,000 more mon are sald to be on the way to Balkan front Salonica, at which port 4,000 troops are debarkinis each day. An allied offensive on a large seate weemingly !s about to begin, British troops, hitherto in small force as compared with the French tn the near east, are reported landing In large numbers at Salonica. The Serb line before Monastir is holding firmly. News that French aviators have bombarded Strumnitza furnished tho firet assurance in several days that operations in Southwestern Bulgaria are still progressing. Athens advices report the beginning of a partial demobilization of the Greek army, guaranteeing the allies more satisfactorily than through any mere diplomatic pledge against out- wide interference with thelr balkan plans. A despatch from Milon says Earl Kitchener obtained permission from the Greek Government for allied troops to land at Greek ports other than Salonica.
