SERBIANS LMPKESS GERMANS. .Munich, October 22. The Oustonachrichten describes tho Serbians as offering the most deterinui,ed resistance. Position alter position in Morava Valley was gained alter ilto fiercest lighting by the rearguards. It must be admitted that the Serbians are magnificent soldiers and despite 'ts rough appearance their armament >s irreproachable. Numerous sharpshooters concealed in the rugged mountains caused us considerable losses. Their artillery was not particularly good despite the guns given by the English. I'nlike the Russians, the Serbians do not burn nor destroy everything, and wo obtain supplies of gram and cattle. The weather continues-wretched and the roads are miserable, greatly impeding progress. .MORE OI'TERS TO GKEECE London, October 22. in addition to Cyprus the Allies liavo 0 lie red Greece an extension oi territories oil the Aegean coast, also colonies 1 t Asia Minor.
