It is too soon to say anything definite about the
advance of the Germans into Serbia. They have captured Belgrade and a good deal of the surrounding country, thanks as usual to the tremendous power of their artillery. At the same time, the Serbians are showing great courage and determination, and disputing every inch of the ground. In all probability our gallant allies will be able to compel the Germans to move slowly ; and if the Serbians are favoured by the weather as well as by the difficulties of the ground, the Germans, like the A.utrians, may find the invasion anything but a promenade, • , • •
even though the Bulgarians are threatening the rear of the Serbians.
