Along the entire front in Mace donia. from Mastir to I>ake Doiran, a distance of about 100 miles, the Allies have opened a great offensive. On every section of the line Gen. Sarrail’s artillery is roaring day and night, hut the campaign is in its inl- ta Iphase and there is little te Indi cate as yet where the main attempt at an advance will be made. Bitter fighting is proceeding in the bend of the Cerna river and in the neighborhood of the Vardar, the two points on the Macedonian front where the wild mountain country is broken by fertile valleys.

On tka eve ,,f the praaant criuis, the farmers of Hre-Routh could resort Dr no secondary food crop that offers a more promising outlook, as the crap is easily grown, produces well, and furnishes wholesome food for both man and beast.
