maintaining their neutrality. In this,
there la, at the present time at least,

Bulgaria has made her choice se
cure In her belief of Teuton victory.
Ferdinand Is known as a very astute
though altogether unscrupulous poli
tician and naturally his decision by
itself is enough to make both Greece
and Roumanla hesitate. Public sym
pathy in both states Is strongly pro-
Ally.
Racial ties with Italy makes a Rou
manian alliance with the Teutons a
nearly. Impossible conception. Past
history makes such an alll-nce by the
Greeks equally hard to conceive. At
the same time, once a choice Is made,
national existence is thrown Into the
riudanre with national ambition.
The Teuton successes In Russia,
without meaning as they are. are,
nevertheless, of sufficient Importance
In the amount of territory occupied to
appeal strongly to the Balkan Imagi
nation and. cleverly and thoroughly
advertised by the German publicity
department, can not but exercise
ently beyond their present position
which they have occupied for months.
But the British are too stubborn, too
senselessly proud, to admit their de
feat by withdrawing a part of their
forces to send them to aid Serbia, no
matter how great the necessity ma^
be.
There are, of course, other consid
erations. There would be a tempor
ary loss In prestige before the world,
and a certain number of the Turks
would be released for operations else
where. But as practical considera
tions these have little weight. Rou
manla, separated from Turkey by the
full width of Bulgaria, would care
little about the release of the Turk
ish forces now on Gallipoli. Long
before these forces could reach a
point where they could be of service
the British would have landed in Sa-
loniki and stemmed the tide of the
Teuton-Bulgur invasion.
If such a move brought Rouma
nian aid in Its wake, it would be well
worth while, t'tterly regardless of
Gretrr, RouinaniA is the decisive fac
tor in the Balkans. Even though the
population occupying the territory re
cently acquired through the last war
Is as yet unassimilated and probably
could not be considered in our esti
mate of numbers, the Roumanians
could nevertheless throw Into the
field a force thoroughly organized,

< n>e Allies in the West have »hown
» indlcAlon of betng able to maln-
a consistent offensive. On the
contrary, to the Balkan eyes, they
seem to be held strictly in their
trenches, with an occasional small
advance for a mile or two. '
In the east the Balkan peoples
have witnessed the driving back of
Ruaala from ths Dunajec and the
Carpathians to the Dvina, the Nle-
men. the Styr, and the Strypa. They
have seen s vast sren of the richest

of ths Vosges In Alsace and an equal

In Qaltcla. the Teutons are every
the Balkan States, and almost as
great as the forces of Greece, Serbia,
and Bulgaria combined.
In all this, however. It must he
realized, as stated last week, that
no ilerlsion ran possibly be reached
on this front. No matter how glow
ing the reports from any source
may tie no matter what claims that
source may make as to the results
to he achieved, a decision ran be
reached nowhere else than on the
western or the eastern front—In
France or In Russia. The reasons
are simple enough.
With the line to Constantinople
securely held, with s steady flow of
ammuntloo and supplies to the Turks
and Gslllpell, evsn with ths Turkish
reserves not now under arms equip

tories and made ready to take the

territory. la It any wonder that
Greece and Roumanla hesitate before
taking a step from which there Is no
retreat? t'ntil the Allies have dem
onstrated their ability to do some
thing, both Greece and Koumania are
justified In holding back at all costs.
Such a chance is now presented to
the Allies In Serbia. They have been
caught napping In spite of the fart
that reasonable foresight should have
led them to be prepared and much
Serbian territory Is now In the hands
J if the Teutons and the Bulgars lint
t is not yet too late for the Allies to
show their strength If they move
quickly and have sufficient courage.
The only influence that can prove
strong enough to move tho wavering
states is to land a force at Salonlkl
of sufficient strength to engage, with
the aid of the Serbians, all the Teu
tons and all the Bulgars that can be
thrown into that field. That should
not prove an impossible task and it
can be done without any great weak
ening of the other fronts.
A brief analysis of the numbers
now in Serbia will give an idea of
what Is needed:
The Teutons have about 200.000
men moving south from the Danube
and the Save. The probable number
of Bulgarians can be estimated with
fair accuracy. The total population
of Bulgaria Is somewhere between
4,000,000 and 5,000,000. This means,
figuring on the usual 10 per cent,
basis, that the maximum Bulgarian
force In the field would be about -
500,000 men.
But Bulgaria has Just emerged
from her second war in four years
and these two wars seriously reduced
tha percentage of fighting troops to
total population. It Is certain, then,
that Bulgaria’s strength can not be
more than from 400,000 to 450,000
men. And this number Is not all
available for the enterprise against
the Serbs. Roumanla is seething and
may side with the Allies at any time.
Greece is in exactly the same situa
tion. Russia is only too ready to
land troops on the Black Sea coast.
Therefore, as an absolutely necessary
precaution, the northern and south
ern frontiers together with the east
ern coast line must be guarded.
For this purpose about half of the
Bulgarian army is needed, leaving
for the Serbian invasion not more
than 250,000 men at tlte outside.
The Serbian army, cut down as It has
been by war and disease, numbers
not more Thor 250,OO07“gTvlng The
Teutons and their ally a clear pre
ponderance in numbers of at least
200,000. To save Serbia the Allies
must neutralize this.
But neutralization of the Serbian
armies Is not sufficient to bring as-
•tetanre either from Greece or from
Roumanla. Both these countries are
more interested Immediately in being
adequately protected from Invasion
th— lu gifts of territory. And the
Allies’ chances of enlisting their aid
would be much better if they were
prepared to give such protection In
stead of trylnr to bribe one with
Cyprus bow and the other with prom-
of future territory should they
- - --i—> t
other than the defeat of the effort of
the Allies to give Russia an outlet
from the Black 8<w to the Mediter
ranean? An attempt to Invade F.gypt
—even India—ha* been mentioned.
But the Idea la impoaaible. The Oa-
tral Power* have not the men nor ran
they get them.
Man power I* one thing factories
ran not produce. Kven as this article
Is being written Hlndenburg la coll
ing from Klgn for reinforcement*
that ran come only from Markensen;
and Markensen Is likewise railing for
men who ran come only from Hlnden
burg. The line in the west is stretch
ed to its elastic limit: the line against
Italy Is being pressed to the point
that GorUitr, Trieste, ^nd the road to
Vienna are In jeopardy. Where then
can the additional men needed for a
campaign outside of Europe be
found? The Idea certainly can not
be said to hold water.
It may well be asked then what
was Germany's object in beginning a
movement which from its very nature
is of necessity indecisive and which
when accomplished at enortnous ex
pense leads nowhere.
The principal object seems to be
political. A review of the past six
weeks of the war will show that on
the western front the German line is
held, at least in parts, by the mini
mum number of men possible and
that this line is not strong enough In
reserves to withstand a concentrated
artillery attack without cracking.
The German lines west of Loos and
in the Champagne were admitted to
be the most nearly Invulnerable of
any part of their western front.
Fight months ago the French ham
mered at the Champagne line for two
months with no effect. And only
rently Imth front gave way in three
days’ time. %
On the eastern front, during these
weeks, the Teutons have been unable
to advance anywhere against the Rus
sian lines. On the other hand, it has
been Russia who has seized the Ini
tiative except on the short line from
Dvinsk to Riga, and who has made
the only gains worthy of mention.
Between, Volhynia and the Pruth a
succession of quick, hard blows en
abled Russia to advance from the
Sereth to the west bank of the
Strypa. Inflicting heavy losses and
capturing nearly 150,000 mean.
In the Balkans, already seething,
It was not impossible that the opin
ion of Gerpian prowess, gained hy tha
Impressive advance from the Duna-
lec to the Pripet marshes, would be
lost by the complete check. Should
the view prevail that Germany had
reached her limit all of the Balkan
States would turn to the Allies and
Roumanla and Bulgarian guns would
blast open the gates between tlie
Black and Mediterranean Seas. Some
thing had to he done. Something
that would stir the imagination of
the world and at the same time Illus

1b bo other field could so much be

Serbia, where resistance woe sure to
be a minimum. Serbia, too, held out
Ferdinand forsake the Kaisers and
ask the Allies for terms?
In the military field proper the
week has seen rapid and important
developments. The Teuton advauce
from the north has continued stead
ily, the rate being about the same as
last week. The Serbian resistance
has been extremely stubborn, but su
perior numbers hav& made it unavail
ing. The Herbs, however, have not
reached the line that is generally
considered their main line of defense,
the line in the mountains through
Kruschewatz, KraiJejvo, and Techat-
schak.
The Morava Valley, however, offers
a very simple line of advance as far
as Vellka Plana. Once that point is
passed the road to Nish becomes
more and more difficult. For this
two-thirds of the entire distance,
therefore, the Germans will find that
although the Serbians can not halt
them, they will do them considerable
damage and greatly swell the casualty
lists.
The Bulgars, driving westward,
have effected a junction with the
Germans in the extreme northeastern
section of Serbia at Ljublcevac and
have thereby cleared the Danube for
traffic from Austria into Turkey. By
using the river, supplies can go by
water to Soraoblt and Rushchuk and
thence by rail to the main Orltental
road from Sofia to Constantinople.
<>n the eastern Serbian front the
Bulgars have had a week of surceases
that seriously endanger Nish. Their
advance has been maintained by all
three columns which are moving to
ward that centre, one down the val
ley of the Timok river, which leads
to the railroad junction of Parat-
schln. one along the road that comes
into Nish from the north through
Kniaschevatz, and the third on the
main road from Sofia, coming by way
of Pirot. The noriliwni Serbian sit
uation is truly deMperatr, and it doe*
not seem within the hounds of possi
bility that the Bulgars ran he pre
vented fit mi taking Ntsh.
The first of the columns mention
ed has taken KaJecar. the only forti
fied post in the Timok Valley. The
second column has. .it is reported,
taken Knlaschevatx. This Is the most
perilous to the Serbs of any success
so far attained. It Is only thirty
miles from Ntsh and Is so far la ad
vance of Plot, s strongly fortified
town about thirty-five miles south
whlqh has been taken by the third
Bulgarian army, that sooner or later
any advance beyond it will forrs ths

last the additional advantage of betas a
In this particular section tha op
posing lines are generally semicircu
lar, with the Bulgars operating on
the Interior and therefore the shorter
lines. This gives them a double ad
vantage In that not only are the
lines shorter but the Bulgarians
greatly outnumber their opponents.
The great tianger to the Merbe in
all of this I* that the pm-rat opera
tion* of the Teutonic alHe*^ If mmc-
ceMHful—and tliere I* every llke<tho«Ml
that they will lie—must Inevitably
rut off all Serbian force* In the
northea*t corner that Is in that sec
tion of Serbia Included between the
Belgrade-Sofis railroad and Austria,
Roumanla, and Bulgaria. The only
hope for them lies In the ability of
the Allies to send sufficient men and
guns to roll up the Bulgarian flank
in the south and take the main Bul
garian army In the rear.
The two essential elements in such
an allied movement are time and sup
plies. Whatever Is to be done must
be done now. as soon it will be too
late. The question of supplies is
vital and involves problems that will
tax to the utmost the abilities of the
Allies' transport facilities. The Bul
garians are operating with very short
lines and good railroads In the rear.
The sending of reinforcements to va
rious parts of their line is reduced
to the simplest possible terms.
The Allies are said to have in
southern Serbia now 150,000 French
and about 15,000 British, about four
full army corps—but it is hardly pos
sible that these corps have their full
complement of artillery and shell.
They have formed a junction with
the southern Serbian army and have
met anti defeated the Bulgarian army
in front of Strumitza.
Thdy then moved up along the
Salonlkl railroad, clearing It for
about fifty miles. The Bulgarians,
however, have advanced as far west
as Uskup and have taken that junc
tion, although it has since been re
ported that they have been driven
out and that +he town is again in the
hands of the Serbs. The situatioit in
the south is extremely confused and
any detailed review of what has hap
pened will be impossible until future
operations have clarified things.
In other theatres two battles stand
out above all others—that going on
in northern Russia between Wvinsk
and Riga and that of the Italianwifor
Gorizia. Von Hlndenburg has beeq
battering at the Russians on this line
since this failure to trap them in the
Vilna sector over a month . ago.
Dvinsk, Riga, and the valuable sec
tion of the railroad between have
been on the verge of falling into his
hands a number of times, but it
not seem as if he is any nearer to
taking them than he was several
weeks ago. Certainly only insignifi
cant gains have been made, and these
at a loss in men entire disproportion
ate. There has been no evidence as
yet of Russian shortage of ammuni
tion; at least of ammunition of a
calibre that will match the Germans,
for it is unlikely that any heavy guns
are being used ib the attack. > Gen
eral transportation facilities are poor
and the character of the country Is
not favorable to the manoeuves of
anything but light field artillery
with possibly larger howitzers at se
lected points.

A Georgetown fisherman has been
in “bad luck.” While deep-sea fish
ing Monday between South Island
and Cape Romaln he sighted the de
serted liner Colorado en fire. He
stood by the vessel for some time and
then made haste to reach the city to
secure a tug. His idea was to get
the tug Williams, of this port, and
tow his find into this harbor. Un
fortunately for him ho was not fast
enough and before he could get the
tug the Charleston tugs had'arrived
in his absence and taken his prize.
Had he remained by the vessel the
fortune might have been his.
Under direction of the masters of
the tugs that towed her into port
while she was u mass of flames the
work of removing the cotton cargo
from the holds of the Colorado,
beached off Charleston High Battery
Monday morning, was started Thurs
day afternoon. The damaged etaple
was.loaded rn lighters, and it will
probably be landed in the near fu
