Two British officers worn killed and two wounded. A sergeant was killed and Efty men wounded.
The Deputy Governor-General reports that the splendid exhibition. of endurance and bravery of the Nigerian troops was- a brilliant feaf of which Nigeria should justly be proud.
ENEMY CLAIM OCCUPTION OF NOVI BAZAAR.
SERBIANS STILL CAPABLE OF TAKING THE OFFENSIVE.
AMSTERDAM, Nov. 22, 120 a.m. The German occupation of Novi Bazar is the feature of an Austrian communique.
It also describes fresh fierce Italian attacks at many points, expeci- ally on the Gorizsa bridgehead. The Italians have penetrated the Aus- tring lines in the Oslavya section, but the Austrians say they have re-captured all lost ground except one summit. The assertion that the Austro-Hungarians have repulsed a Serbian attack in the Irar Valley, "sastward of Novi Bazar, indicates that the Serbians are still capable of
taking the offensive..
