GENERAL ITEMS.

NOTES FROM THE TIMES. THE SUBS-URINE CAMPAIGN. London, Nov. 10. The Times' naval correspondent says: "We are witnessing how submarines liavc changed naval warfare, and are affecting the problem* connected with the rights of neutrals. America complains that merchantmen are sent to port for search, but time is the essence of the problem. We are most manifestly within our rights in preventing neutrals supplying the enemy. The Allies are not io he blamed, for the fault lies with (lermany in violating the laws of humanity. Where we are exercising the rights of search our vessels are exposed to attack, and must he protected, ''America's assertion that the blockade is ineffective does not take account of recent activity in the Baltic. Germany is admitting that her trade is paralysed," REPORTED ADVANCE ON SALONIKA Received Nov. 11. 5.5 p.m. London, Nov. !fl. Tt is reported in Paris that when the Btilgar-German forces junction they will march to Salonika instead of directly to Constantinople. COLONEL REPINGTON'S VTEWS. London. Nov, 10. Colonel Repington says that, after a gallant resistance. Hhe Serbian army has been driven out of the heart of the country fby overwhelming forces. Eighteen Anstro-Gcrman and nine Bulgarian divisions are-operating in Serbia, but he has not ascertained the Turkish fore? or the forces on the Bulgarian coasts and Greek frontier. The situation of the Anglo-French forces on the line Doiran-Krivolak i? necessarily difficult, and the enemy will attempt io overwhelm them as soon as the.Serbs are crushed. They will, almost without doubt, threaten the Greeks unless the Anglo-French are interned. If we re-cross the Greek frontier they will follow up and attack. We are pursuing another sentimental journey, more creditable to our hearts than our heads.
