NEWS OF THE WEEK.
AS we write on Thursday it is difficult to give any very clear or coherent account of the military situation in Serbia. It would seem, however, that the Serbians are still holding the main attack of the Germans (that is, the attack southward from across the Danube) on both flanks. The Bulgarians operating from the east have however, captured positions at Vrania which seriously threaten the Serbian rail- way communications. It would be ridiculous to attempt to minimize the importance of the Bulgarian attack, but at any rate it may be said that the Bulgarians have not yet dealt that blow at the heart which they and the Germans planned to strike, not only with overwhelming force, but with lightning rapidity.
