JOINT ARMY STAFF FOR ALLIES
FAVORED IN HOUSE OF COMMONS
V' ? *??? '? ".-i-...?..
Fond?n. N?-.v. I?"The Chionicle's" Parliamentary correspondent
says that the Cabinet will meet this afternoon, when, it is understood,
most momentous decisions must be arrived at. General Joffre made a
most favorable impression, provins; himself a man of decision, of wide
views and of COUrags MMJ insight. It is obvious that matters of vital
interest must have brought him to London.
What plan the British military authorities had before the French
commande In chief arrived is not known. What impressed those men
? ho spoke with Joftre was that he was a man who could make up his
mind, that he had formulated hi- ?jnmions on weli-thoi'ght-out schemes
prepared by i competent general staff and that he was ready to meet a
neta situation with a new decision.
Ills general feeling in the House ot Commons is that the British
-;e;ieral staff requires strengthening. It would also seem that an inter?
national staff, bringing about lomplete union of action between the
Allies, or m its pli-ce, frequent consultation, is thought indispensable.
The Parliamentary correspondent of "The Daily News" says that
the government during the Isal two months has been engaged in the
creation of a new general staft to supervise the prosecution ci the war.
This war staff, which is now complete, will, it is believed, command con
hdeni c, lor high hopes arc entertained of its efficiency. The war coun?

ing the river.
With frefh progress in the ad?
vance ?m KraguycvaU and Nish
claimed by ?Berlin to-day. possession
of the Kruseva? lateral becomes ist?
? rearingly \ital to the Serbians. The
capture of Milanovac, less than
\ twenty mile? from the citadel, and
fresh heights to the ?south of Lapova
bringH the evacuation of both places
considerably nearet.
Fate of Msh Almost Sealed.
But th?1 southern avenue of re?
treat, despite all the efforts of the
Allies, has boen cut off, and for
. nearly thirty miles the Bulgare are
a-itrwl* the Nish-Salonica railroad,
tnus effectually preventing any re
lief from th" Kntente fon-es.
The only other route of retirement
| from Nish, therefore, is by way of
' the Krusevac line, which, about
twenty miles north of the capital,
ouits the Oriental Railway and runs
vi-tvard to the Motilcncgi in bor?
der.
Towattl this line the Austro-Ger
mnns have directed a double attack.

has it been conducted with the great?
