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.
Austro-Hungarian forces in the
Ibar valley advancing on Mitrovitza
Tuesday stormed powerful positions
on the north side of the valley and
one to the south, and gained full pos
session of the valley.
According to diplomatic advices re
ceived in Athens the Serbian govern
ment has been removed from Mitro |
vitza to Prizrend, in western Serbia,
near the Albanian border. The diplo
matic corps has gone to Petch, Monte
negro.
Notable progress for the Bulgarians
in the region southeast of Pristina, in
Serbia, with the capture of 8000 Ser
bians, forty-four cannon and twenty
two machine guns, was announced by
German army headquarters. The Teu

“One of Germany's newest dread
noughts struck a mine Friday in the
Baltic sea and went to the bottom.
All the members of the crew were
