rifle firing broke out along the whole line from Velika Glava to
Kik. Near Kik the Austrians were massing in strong force, and the Third
Army was reported to be again in danger, this time from a hostile
turning movement. Fortunately general headquarters was able to come to
the rescue with reenforcements. This lessened the danger from Kik.
Whereupon the advance along Iverak was continued. By the middle of the
afternoon, when the Austrians were driven out of Reingrob, the Serbians
controlled the situation. The defeat of the Austrians was complete.

The Third Army was again in trouble during this day, August 19,1914. Its
left flank continued its advance from Soldatovitcha, but the Austrians
attempted to pierce their center. But finally this sorely tried section
of the Serbian front emerged triumphant. Before evening the Austrians
were driven back in scattered disorder, leaving behind them three
hospitals filled with wounded, much material, and 500 prisoners.

Here ended the fourth day of the bloody struggle--August 19, 1914. In
the north around Shabatz the Austrians had made some advance, but all
along the rest of the line they had suffered complete disaster. The two
important mountain ridges, Tzer and Iverak, which dominated the whole
theatre of operations, were definitely in the hands of the Serbians. And
finally, the Third Army had at last broken down the opposition against
it.

Next morning, August 20, 1914, dawned on a situation that was thoroughly
hopeless for the Austrians. Even up around Shabatz, where they had been
successful the day before, the Austrians, realizing that all was lost to
the southward, made only a feeble attack on the Serbians, who were
consequently able to recross the Dobrava River and establish themselves
on the right bank.

The cavalry division, whose left flank was not freed by the clearing of
the Tzer ridges, hurled itself against the Austrians in the plains
before it and threw them into wild disorder. First they shelled them,
then charged. The panic-stricken Magyars fled through the villages,
across the corn fields, through the orchards.

"Where is the Drina? Where is the Drina?" they shouted, whenever they
saw a peasant. A burning, tropical sun sweltered over the plain. Many of
the fleeing soldiers dropped from exhaustion and were afterward taken
prisoners. Others lost themselves in the marshy hollows and only emerged
days later, while still others, wounded, laid down and died where they
