PBINCE ALEX ANDES INTENDS TO ATTACK The Servian forces at Dragoman to-day if the weather permits. Both sides are constantly con-stantly hurrying reinforcements to the front. The battle field is still strewn with the unattended dying and the dead soldiers. The medical and ambulance corps of both armies are wholly inadequate to meet their present wants, and many wounded, who were unable to assist themselves, were left to perish were they fell. |
