SERBS SWEEP NORTHWARD.


Thousands of Prisoners Taken in Capture of Scutari.

PARIS, Nov. 10.—The official bulletin tonight on operations in the East says:

"North of the Danube and the Save Serbian troops have advanced in the direction of Waiskirschen and Reeskerek, driving back German troops who are retreating to the north in Bosnia, and have entered Sarajevo, where the National Council and the people have welcomed them enthusiastically.

"The number of prisoners taken in the course of the fighting which preceded the taking of Scutari by the Serbians on Oct. 30 was 4,000, of whom 120 were officers. Numerous cannon and war supplies were captured.

"North of Scutari, Pogoritza, and Nizsitch were occupied by the Serbians, aided by Montenegrins."
