London, Nov. 8. With the capture
of Krusevac by the (iermans. an?
nounced from Berlin to-day, the last
foothold in the Western Morava and
the main Morava valleys ha.s been
lost to the Serbs, and practically the
entire railway system of the coun?

Such operations as remain, the

the Turks and the Kgyptian menavc.
Already there has been a sharp
division between the Austrian ami
(lerman forces, the (iermans, under
von (?al'.witz, being mainly intent
on the reopening of the Orient line
t?. Constantinople, while the Aus
trians evidently nro pursuing their
olil purpose of a complete subjuga?
tion of Serbia.
Thus while the (iermans have
turned eastward toward Bulgaria,
the Austrians have continued south,
and to-day reached Ivanjica, searce
i ly thirty-five miles above Novibarar,
whence they ??an menace the Serb
' line of retreat up the Ibar Valley,
only a few miles to the east.
With N'ovihazar and Metrovitza
in Austrian hands, the sole escape
from capture for the ?Serb? will be
to Ight through to the Albanian
mountains. Hero they might bo

has been recently rumored to have
been landed on the Albanian coast.
Then the recomjuest of their own
land might begin.
The concentration of a force of
130,000 Austrian? for the invasion
of Montenegro is also reported. This
attack is d?'signed to forestall, if
possible, the union of Serbs with
Allies troops landed on the Albanian
coast.
Serb Force? Demoralise?!.
Increased demoralization among
the Serb armies Is indicated by the
rise in the numbers of prisoners
captured by the Teutons and the
abandonment of the ?Serb sick at
Krusevac.
Besides about 2,000 wounded
Serbs taken here, about 1,500
wounded were found in the hospitals.
In addition, Berlin reportJithe capt

and war material, with ten cannon
and important medical supplies.
Despite the failure of the Allies
