VOLUME XX: SERBIAN ABLE TO SAVE MONSTIR News Gives Basis for : Hope That City May Hold Out Till Anglo-French Troops? Arrive There; ' IMPORTANCE OF SERBS' VICTORYIS DOUBTED How Believed There Is No Dan ger That Greeks Will Attack Allies That Flee Across the Border. London, Nov. 23. The latest news from the Balkans revives hope in England that Monastir may hold out long enoueh to en able the French and 1 British forces to effect a junction with the Seroians. ' r " , . , Rome and London legations in Serbia have received retorts of a great Serbian victory north of Pristina, but as advices give neither dates nor details doubts as to the' importance of. the battle are entertained, : It is now. believed that the allied forces which; may take refuge on Greek , territory, are hardly likely to be subjected to attacks from the rear. , The most significant indication' of the rpesent attitude '.of Greece is revealed in remarks by M. Balh,Grfeektniniiater' of j'nV fice, T-ho is quoted in press dis patches as having complained bitterly of the methods adopted by the alles. He argued -that their tardiness in bringing up effective support for he Serb ians made Greece participa tion in the war impossible. M. Ehallis declared, however," that the Greeks are determined to maintain neutrality, and that the allies have no' reason to fear danger, if forced back across the Greek border. ... The military -position in Macedonia is reported to have improved. L Assertions ' are made that the Bulgarians have retired to their former position after a vain attack on Frencp linns. ;; The seat of the Serbian gov ernment has been, removed to Prwende, while the diplomatic corps has moved to Fetch, Mon tenegro. .
