Serbs' Northern Army Retiring to Montenegro
ALLIES URGED TO ACT QUICKLY London, November 21. The Athens correspondent of the Rome Tribuna says that the Bulgarians have occupied Monastic -and that the Serbians are in full retreat. German advices state that the Austro-German troops have entered Rashka, thus completing the invasion of Old Serbia. The Serbian Government has gone to Prizrend, a town, near the Albanian frontier.
Military critics, < summing up the position in Serbia, say the northern Serbian army is falling back into Montenegro. The southern Serbians are divided, if not surrounded at Babuna. They were not in effective touch with the Allies in any wav, and were compelled to retreat into Albania. If; Italian' correspondents are right the Allies' are liable to Greece's hostility when in difficulties. Within a fortnight heavy German reinforcements will reach the Near East, and the Allies must act auickly.
Newspapers from Vienna state that the Austrian force is in camp in the deep snow in the Serbian mountains. The' men are suffering terribly from the cold, and the force has the greatest difficulty in keeping communication open for the bringing up of supplies.
