CEA Italy Sends Men to Balkans Austrians Capture 12,000 Serbs ir Two Day's Fighting—Bulgarians Defeated in Mountains. The long expected participation oi Italy in the Balkan campaign seems at last to be under way, as Italiar troops have begun landing on Alba nian territory, according to a Chiars¢ despatch to the Journal la Suisse forwarded by the Central News cor respondent at Zurich. It is believed that the retreat of the Serbians and advance of the Bul garians westward has aroused Italy to the danger it involves to her pre tentions to domination of the Adriatic sea and that she realizes she musi aid the allies with armed forces il she is to maintain her position. Although the Austro-German ad vance is pressing the Serbians hard driving them towards the Kossova plain, a defeat of Bulgarians by the Serbians in a battle in Central Serbia is announced in an official communi cation given out at the Serbian lega: tion in Paris. Five Bulgarian cannon were captured. The communication which gives partial confirmation of recent reports that the Serbians had assumed the! offensive and defeated the Bulgarians | follows: “Battles occurred recently on the old Serbo-Turkish frontier. The most important encounters were fought te the west of Velika Plana and Mount Zetovatz. We inflicted a defeat on the enemy at the latter point, captur | ing five mountain cannon.” Velika Plana is twenty-five miles west of Nish, and thirty-five miles northwest of Leskovats, in the region of which an important Serbian victory has been reported unofficially. According to an announcement of Austrian army headquarters, General von Gallwitz’s army pushed back the Serbians fighting northward of Pris tina to within about thirteen miles of the city and took Sunday and Mon day 12,000 prisoners. Eastward and southeastward the Serbians are still tenaciously resist: ing the Bulgarians.
