ACROSS SERVIAN BORDER.

TERRORISM IN AUSTRIA.

PEACE AGITATORS EXECUTED

MORE SUBMARINE PIRACY

SUCCESSFUL ALLIED AIR RAID.

Two cablegrams are to hand reporting fighting between Bulgarians and Servians in Servian territory, near the frontier dividing the two countries. One from the Servian Legation in London describes a Bulgarian attack on a blockhouse at Valandovo, and the other, from Servia, records an attack on the railway at Strumnit/.a, in the same locality. It is not known whether the Bulgarian authorities sanctioned the invasion. Widespread dissatisfaction with the war in Austria is being suppressed by executions and imprisonment. A disaffected regiment was decimated, and others have been transferred from Moravia to other parts of the empire. There is little news of importance from France. Two German attacks in Upper Alsace were repulsed. Elsewhere the French have gained ground by mine warfare. The Russians have captured an important range of heights in the Carpathians with the bayonet. In the Niemen region the Germans have been driven back, losing heavily. A German submarine has sunk a British steamer off Cape Finisterre, on the north coast of Spain. Three trawlers have been sunk off Shields. A Norwegian barque carrying timber to Hull was stopped, and the cargo ignited. A Dutch collier has struck a mine and foundered off the liumber. A French air squadron has successfully raided railway and military buildings in German occupation in the Woevre region. An Englishman from Antwerp says it is believed there that the recent air raid on Hoboken resulted in the destruction of four submarines which were ready for launching. British warships have again bombarded Zeebrugge owing to submarines attempting to steal through the minefields.
