Serb Successes.
("Times" Service.) LONDON, Oct. 5,
The Salonika correspondent of the "Echo de Paris" states that seven Serbian villages were liberated at nightfall on Wednesday, | «and the whole Bulgarian army was in full retreat towards new lines prepared about live miles south of Monastir.
After defeasing the Bulgarians on the Nidra, the Serbian carried out a lightning offensive, ocoupying Kenuli with the Eussians on their left, while the French infantry and artillery holding the centre pushed forward upon Monastir plain, the Bulgars abandoning the hills and villages.
A French communique says: — The Balkan battle continues favourable on the whole front. The Allied advance guards have begun to cross the Cerna, in the region of Dobroveni and Bood, and are progressing, despite hail on the slopes ot Sbaba, reaching Popoli.
