THE BALKAN STRUGGLE.

SERBIANS PROGRESSING. RAILWAY TO SERES CUT. Australian and New Zealand Cable Association. London, Oct. 16. There is moderate artillery activity on the whole Macedonia*! front. The Serbians are progressing on the left bank of the Oerna. A French squadron cut the railway south of Seres. A BULGAR REPORT. Amsterdam, Oct. 10. A Bulgarian communique says: The Serbians attacked in considerable strength north of SJevitza. We repulsed patrol encounters on the Struma, ' BULGARS AND TURKS.' INSIST ON RETURN. GERMAN NEW RESERVES. London, Oct. 10. The Morning Post’s Petrograd correspondent says that owing to heavy engagements on the Balkan front, Turks and Bulgarians insist on the return of their soldiers for the defence of vital home interests. The Germans have been compelled to accede to therequest, entailing a con siderable re-shuffling. Bulgarians have been employed as far north as Dvinsk, while the Turks have been used against Brusiloft' in Galicia. German prisoners report the army’s disgust at the quality of the new reserves, who are elderly men and those under age. This is creating a depressing effect.
