NEWS OF THE WEEK.
ONCE more we can say that the news from the front is on the whole good, though once more we must admit that the position in which Serbia is placed is very gloomy. The Bulgarians have driven the Serbians out of Prizrend, and at any moment we may hear that the Bulgarians are at Monastic. At the same time, if we consider the date—i.e., December 4th— there is ground for encouragement. If the Germans and Bulgarians were to do what they boasted they could do, and ought to have done to secure that complete success which can be the sole military and strategic justification of the great Sorbian adventure, Choy ought by this time not merely to have overrun all Serbia but to have destroyed the Serbian Army root and branch. All this should have been accomplished before the mountain passes were blocked with snow and the lowland roads or tracks turned into seas of mud.
