1-1VENTS in the Balkans continue to occupy the attention 11.1 of the world. The Serbian Army is hard pressed indeed, but every day that it continues its resistance and saves itself from being broken or overwhelmed is a day gained. As we write on Thursday evening the situation Seems to be as follows. The French, who are marching to the rescue, are slowly forcing their way up the valley of the Vardar towards Vales. On the west 'of the river they hold the high ground, and are in touch with the Southern army of the Serbians, who still maintain themselves precariously in the Babuna district. The Serbians seem also to be still holding the liatchanik Pass. So long as they can do that they will check- mate the Bulgarians, who are trying to advance towards Mitrovitza to cut off their retreat. Communications between the main Serbian army, which is gallantly holding the Germans in the North, and the Southern army are preserved.
