Tho Swiss Nouezuercher Zoitung’s Budapest correspondent says Axis troops after capturing Uzico are now attacking tho Serbian patriots southward of Uzice in difficult country, for which reason an early success is not expected. The patriots are operating throughout Southern Serbia and North-east Montenegro. A Montenegrin Government has boen established at Kolasin. Friends of General Mikhailovitch who escaped to England told the Daily Express that he was completely confident of his ability to hold out with his guerrilla forces until the end of the war. One of the escapees, Dr. Sekulitch, former superintendent of the Belgrade Municipal Hospital, spent five months with Mikhailovitch who is delighted with the fighting qualities of the British soldiers who escaped from Greece and are now serving with his forces.
A Moscow message states that Mikhailovitch has five fully-trained Yugoslav divisions under his command. The German strength is also given at five divisions. The Yugoslavs are resisting a offensive from three Gcrmau divisions in the Morava Valley.
