The reports' from Sofia 01 Sunday that I'pkup and Kumanova have been ici-iiiied by the Bulgarians la' not con f.rmcd nnd is regarded as doubtful, even in Berlin. '. A despatch received by tha Daily Telegraph last night from its corres pondent in Nish states that the All'cs have sent word for the Serbs to en deavor to hold out for five days longer, by the end of which time help ia sub stantial form will reach them. Teutonic Alma Accomplish ad Iu the north, the advance of the A ust re Germans has reached the point where it appears certain that tha main objective of the drive into the Balkans will le attained. This waa to open the way for a direct line of communication between Hungary and Turkey, tha poa sessiou of the northeastern section of Herbia and the alliance with Bulgaria accomplishing this. It is within the ossibilities that tha Teutons will be satisfied with this and will prepare a defensive line south of Belgrade and to the Bulgarian border, instead of pushing the advanca aouth against the mountain position! of tha Serb. It is believed here that this ia tha probable Austro German course, as it ' is not believed that Germany has thai troops to spare for a continued offen-, sive campaign in Serbia, while tha of fensive of the Italians has made It ne cessary for Austria to hurry all tha troops she has available to defend hea southern borders. Bulgara May Let Up Should this materialize, tha Bulga rian invasion will uot bo pushed after the Teutonic objective in the north has been completely attained and tha main Bulgar strength will be used to assist the Teutons in holding tha Una and, possibly, in reinforciug the Turk ish positions. Such a disposition of the Balkan troops of the Alliance Would account for the early massing of A Bul garian force in Northwestera Bulgaria. Military critics here are inclined to the belief that Germany will be able to spare very few troopa for tha Bal kan line and will rely maluly oa the Bulgarian to hold oKn the communica tion expected to be established with Turkey.
