LATEST WAR TELEGRAMS,

THE BALKAN SITUATION.

AMERICAN PRESS INTERIVEWS M. VENIZELOS,

The following is the continuation of a telegram which appears under the above heading on Page 1.

Regarding the landing of the French in Salonici, M. Venizolon said that the Greek people could not make war on Franco, and would not if they could. What France bo dope for Greece no Greek can forget. Franco had a-ked for nothing but merely e'me to the support of Greece's Ally; indeed the Entente had never asked for a single concession from Greece. The Entente, however, showed the way to a free and united Greece which was the dream of every true Greek who cannot be indifferent to the vision of a greater Grosco. She to-day can gain this, merely by keeping her pledged word.

M. Venizelos concluded by thanking America for assisting the Greeks in Asia Minor, Macedonia and Thrace.

A Berlin communique has the following:-

The main portion of the two armies and General von Mack. ensen's recently formed army group have crossed the Save and the Danube. The German troops of the Austrian general, Koevess, captured Gypsy Island and the heights south-weet of Belgrade; thea the whole army occupied most of the city. The Austro- Hungarian troops stormed the citadel and the northern part of the city, while the Germans stormed the new Konak. Troops are advancing through the Southern parts of the city. General Gall- witz's army has forced a crossing of the Danube many many points below Semendris, and is driving the enemy everywhere southwards.

October 11, 1.50 a.m.

A Rome communique says that the enemy, after heavy artillery fighting, attacked several portions of the Igonzo front but was every where repulsed with heavy losses. The Austrian com anique makes to reference to these repulses but simply says that there is no change in the situation.

AUSTRIAN COMMUNIQUE.

October 11, 1.50 s.m. According to Reuter's correspondent at Amsterdam, on Austrian communique speaks of "desporate fighting in the streets of Belgrade prior to its capture by the Germans; while a German communique simply recorde "fighting".

SWIMMING.

Second day of H. A. A, F. Sports.

The promised attendance of H. E. the Governor, and the use- fal performances of the competi- tora on the first day of the swim- ming sporta held at the V.R.C. by the Hongkong Amateur Athletic Federation, were responible for an increased, attendance this | afternoon, when the final eventa were decided. The Band of the Chineso Y. M. C. A. played dur ing the afternoon.

The first event on the card was the 220 yards, breast-stroke championship, which fell to R. Lee, who coverad the distance in 3. min. 37 secs, beating W, Git. tins by 13 seca., with Wong Pan a bad third. Les swam with a powerful stroke, and having s good line on his opponent, be was never fally extended.

Some remarkable stamina was shown in the next event, which was the distance plunge for schools. Ho chia, who secured the palm, was all out a winner, covering Ol ft. in his fical effort and remaining under water 1 min 15 несв.

Hia nearest neighbour was M. P. Choi, with 45 ft, to his credit, whilst Wong Kam-cheung scoured third place with a plunge of 43 ft.

Then came an inexplicable arrangement by which the plunge championship fell to whose performance had been beaten during the afternoon by 4 ft. 8 in. In the schools' eventHang Ho-chiu accomplished the meritorious performance of 61 ft; in the championship he did

not plunge, and did not need not to do so if he elected to stand on what he had achieved. W. Gittine, in the event, covered 55 £ 8 in and was declared the champion- ship holder from R. Lee, 48 ft. and W. Hall 43 fi.

The Team Championship was won by the University over the Y.M.C.A. after a desperate race.
