THE BALKANS.
FIGHTING OF THE MOST DREADFUL NATURE. TERRIBLE SLAUGHTER AT VRANJA. (Received October 21, 9.45 a.m.) LONDON, October 20. The "Daily Telegraph's" Rome correspondent reports that advices received by Germans at Sonchez state that the campaign in Serbia is of a dreadful character. During desperate fighting in the vicinity of Mounts Branovo and Inasulich many women, girls, and boys were shot down by the invaders, as they were fighting ■ side-by-side with Serbian soldiers. Although the Bulgarians have occupied Vranja, the town is little more than a minefield. The struggle for its possession was most desperate, the Serbians defending it being killed almost to the last man. It is reported that 10,000 Bulgarians were killed while attacking Vranja.
