The Servians, concealed in a swamp, equalled the desperate resistance to the Germans crossing the P Save. The Servians fought until they were engulfed in mud. The British naval gunners rendered magnificent service by delaying the crossing for a day. liEHNE, October 25. It is reported that the Austro.Germans who crossed the Driua above Visigrad have turned tbe Servian second line. WHY SHE WILL NOT COME IN. LONDON, October 25.
