SERVIANS RE-EOUIPPED THROUGH ALBANIAN PORTS.
BRITISH AND FRENCH TAKE EARLY ACTION. OCCUPATION OF OCHRIDA BY THE BULGARIANS. Lokdox, December 9. The British and French War Office early and energetically commenced to revictual and re-equip the Servians by way of Albanian ports. The first supplies arrived in Albania some days ago. The Bulgarians could have occupied Monastir ten days earlier, but owing to subserviency to the Germans, and in order not to offend Greek susceptibilities, they waited until the German?, after a forced march, occupied the town. "A Bulgarian communique states: "After a stubborn battle we occupied Ochrida, west of Monastir, near the Albania frontier. Enormous booty was taken at Diakova, including IS guns and 100 caissons.'' The Servian Premier and 40 members of the Chamber of Deputies are on their way to Athens. Ochrida is 28 miles west, and a little north, of Monastir, by the lat« of the same name. The lake is 18 miles long, and lies at an altitode of 2265fL
