The Serbians have won a considerable victory over the Austrians,
and the special correspondent of the Times says that the third Austrian invasion of Serbia seems likely to be a greater dad cle than the first. When the Serbs recently retired from the frontier they were driven back further than they had planned, and the Austrians, moving with unusual speed, occupied Obrenovatz and Vatievo. Ultimately the Serbs had to fall back on the line Chachak-Belgrade. Finding this line of sixty-five miles too long to hold, they reluctantly abandoned the capital. But at the same time they planned an attack on the Austrians in Central Serbia, and this has bee' carried out with such success that Valievo has been re- captured, and three Austrian army corps have been broken and are in flight. Some twenty thousand prisoners are said to have been taken on the 6th and 7th, as well as forty-two guns and twenty-one Maxims, and the list is still incomplete.
