In the other parts of the theatre of war the
Allies seem to have been hardly less successful. Though the details are obscure it would seem that there has been desperate fighting on the part of the Servians in Northern Macedonia. During the early part of the week the Turks inflicted very severe losses upon their enemies, but Friday's telegrams seem to show that this check has now been overcome and that the Servians have pushed the Turks south and are now at a place on the railway line about fifteen miles to the north of Uskub. If Uskub, a most important centre, is taken, the Servians will have done well. The main Montenegrin advance in the direction of Scutari has been checked by the strong position atTarabosch. The latest news seems to show, however, that this fortress is likely to fall, and also that Scutari is now completely surrounded by the Montenegrin troops. The most surprising of all the successes of the Allies is that of the Greeks. A considerable part of the Greek army is now in Turkish territory, and all along their line of advance the Turks have fallen back with the loss of a considerable number of prisoners and, it is even said, of Turkish guns. Friends of the Greeks, though they must not be too confident, may well hope that the reforms in the Greek army have borne good fruit.
