Servian Armies Cannot Hold Out Much
Longer, Says British Cabinet Minister
Lord Lansdowne, now a minister
without portfolio in the British cabi-
net, in a statement in the house of
lords has stated the belief of the Brit-
ish government that the position of the
Servian armies' is critical. In his
opinion Servia cannot hold out for any
great length of time against the pres-
sure of the Austro-Germans and the
Bulgarians.
Lord Lansdowne placed the num-
ber of the British soldiers landed at
Saloniki for the Servian campaign at
approximately 13,000. But he added
that a much stronger force Is under
orders and intimated that the govern-
ment would not be led Into precipitate
action because of some hurried im-
pulse or some vague sentiment to
achieve its object.
The statement also was made In the
house of lords by Karl Curiton, an-
other member of the cabinet, that

eration suggested changes embodying J French and Germans ate lighting for

found it difficult to make headway.
At some points the Servians, far
from giving way, have assumed the
offensive and have recaptured the
town of Veles, on the Nlsh-Saloniki
railway, a short distance northwest of
ICrivolok, where their French allies
hold.
The Germans are claiming further
successes for their troops in northwest
Russia and in the central sector
around Czftrtorysk, but Petrograd says
that In the northwest the German at-
tacks were repulsed.

proval of the naval and military ad-
visers and whether the government
could give assurances that full pro-
visions had been made for communi-
cations and supplies for this force to
the satisfaction of naval and military
experts. Karl Loreburn said he un-
derstood the government's desire was
that the matter should not be debated
at the present time but that there was
a reason for asking the question.

ued, and ad4«d that he did not knviw
