Recent German reports of great captures of .war material are denied, and it is stated'that tho fortresses abandoned by the retreating armies have been left aa mere heaps of -debris. Messages which have passed between General Joffro and the Grand Duke Nicholas emphasise the good relations subsisting between • all the Allied high commands.- The threat of an Austro-German effensive striking' Servia into Bulgaria has not yet matured, and a message from the Servian capital states that the enemy have not yet assembled north of the Danube in the strength requisite to warrant the enterprise. No : decisive development is reported at tin Dardanelles, but further graphic accounts' are given of the recent battles.
