',On the Ruenik '(a mountain in the
heart of Serbia) the Serbs again beat
an army of 300,000 Austrians to his

were so badly beaten that they no

Lingle -handed, -and the. country was
.rt at -peace •for a full year..
T_n the 'auttu in of 1915, the united
armies of the Austrians, Germans
and Magyars:under Mackensen's
command, with the assistance of tine
BuI ars, and the indirect help of the
treacherous King Constantine, at-
tacked Serbia feotn three sides upon
a front of 8;00 miles with three times

,defended their ground foot by font

'which failed to arrive in tiine,,.antl_
finally found themselves compelled
o retreat across Albania to the
Adriatic. In Skadar (Skuteri) the
Crown Prince fell .ill, and had to un-
dergo a dangerous operation.
When the Allies proposed that 'h -a
Prince Regent be transferred to Italy
for his recovery, he.refused. to leave
Albania until the last Serbian soldier
.had embarked. After this Homeric;
t etreat, disaster and agony fortune
.began to smile once more upon the
.Serbs. After two years of close watch
in the trenches, the Serbian army,
with the Allies, advanced more than
50 miles on a front of 15 miles, sur-
mounting terrible difficulties itt this
mountainous. region. Then carate the
