NiSah Despairs as Aid Fails;

SERBS REJECT AUSTRIAN PEACE TERMS;
GREEK MUNITIONS SENT TO TURKEY
! Ry Cable to The Tribune.1.
Paris, Oct. 15.?The ?nfor:ra?ion reached here to day that Austria a
month ago offered tempting terms of peace to Serbia and only the inter?
vention of Prince Alexa:ider, who said that Serbia wi., ready to die by
the sword rather than be a traitor, prevented an acceptance of the offer.
Austria's peace terms were thit Serbia should retain all territory held
before the war with the exception of Bulgarian Macedonia, which was
to be handed back to Bulgaria. Serbia, of course, was to allow Austria
and Germany to send troops and munitions to Constantinople through
Serbia and Bulgaria, via Belgrade.
For this purpose the Belgrade sector of the country was to be
ceded to Austria for the period of the war, Austria guaranteeing its
return at the end of hostilities.
The Serbian council was seriously considering the offer which, in
their view, required no greater sacrifices 0:1 the part of Serbia than
the Allies' proposals to pacify Bulgaria and would let Serbia out of
more fighting, when Prince Alexander dramatically ended the dis?
cussion.
It ?ilso became known here to-day in connection with the refusal
of Greece to support Serbia that Greece has for some time been
actively supplying Turkey with munitions of war. Greek vessels have
been obtaining permission from the Allies to enter the port of Smyrna
for cargoes of figs contracted for before Turkey entered the war.
Ostensibly the Greek vessels entered Smyrna light of cargo, but in
reality they were in every case loaded with munitions for the Turkish
army. Only recently have the Allies learned what has been going on
and Greek vessels going to Smyrna are now stopped.

By GOBDON (.OBDON-SMITH.
N.s.i, Oct. 1...?-Th. military situ?
ation created by tho offen, ive of the
Austro-Gorman armie. is of th?
gr?'at?-st seriousness, and at any
moment may turn to catastrophe.
This would be as great a disaster
for th. Allies as for Serbia, as once
Germany joined hand., with Bul
f-tril she could reprovision Turkey
with munitions, thus completely
jeopardizing the ruiece... of the (ial
lipoli expedition. The courage an?i
tenacity of the Serbian army has
excited the admiration of th? world
for fourteen months past, hut every?
thing has its limits, and an army of
300,000 men, with between BM to
TOO miles of frontier to guard
against three nations in arms, with
forcea doubly? perhans triply, su?
perior, cannot hold out forever.
This is _n clear that the news of
the landing Of an Allied army at
Sal?nica was received in Serbia with
enthucin.m. Xi-h was decorated
with flaps to welcome the troops, but
the day- pass and there is no sign
of the Frar.co-Hritish forces, while,
on the other hand, come reports of
fierce fighting on the Danuhian
front, where the (?ermans are mak?
ing deeparate ?"ff? .rts to crush Serb?
ian resistance before the arrival of
the Allies. If the Serbs should sriv?
way and Germany make a sivrni.l
Belgium of their kingdom, th?' Allies
would be face to face with the ?
graveet problem since the begin -
ninff of th?- war, sp^ng that free
eonununJentioU from Berlin to Cou
stantinople would be established, and
Germany would be mast?-r of the
Balka
It would then re.juire not an ex?
peditionary force of ,.(Ml,000 but
2.000,000 to reconquer the lost ter?
ritory. In view of the seriousnese
0? the situation, military and politi?
cal circles in Seri.ia are quite at a
l.-Fs to understand the Inexplicable
nelay in tho arrival of the troops
disembarked at Sal?nica. When
every single moment is precious,
cays and weeks are being lost. At
any moment Serbia may be called
upon to face attack by the Bulgarian
army. People here fear that the
vacillation and Indociaiou which have
characterized the diplomacy of th?
last three months, and which have
culminated in the present Balkan
situation, now characterize the mili?
tary operations also, and that daya
are being wasted in nterile dis?
cussion when instant and vigorous
action is re?iuired.
