TUUKSD \Y, SEPT 1 ' ' 'c 20, 1918. on A VITAU TM Anuaxt.I? /? ?f-.lt. o CONTINUE BLOWS AGAINST BEATEN ENEMY In both Macedonia and Palestine tlie entente allied fo?ees are giving the a'ready badly beaten Bulgarians, Gorr-nns and Turk.s no rest, while in France the British and French cont aue to draw their net more closel> {.. out St. Quentin and the remaining c' -mcnls of the Hinderburg line in this immediate region. And in 1 icedonia the situation of the Bulgarians and Germans daily grows i. orc critical as the allied forces steadily maintaintheir pressure against hem. In Turkey the latest operations of the British and Arab tribesmen friendly to the allied cause, seemingly forecast the complete destruction or capture of the vOttoman t:oo i in Palestine on both sides of the River Jordan. St. Quentin through the latest advances of the British and French is ail but enveloped, and to the north the strong enemy line protecting Cam bra i h s l een further enroached upon by Field Marshal Haig's men. All Pressing Forward On u hundred m:ie front in Macedonia in the region of Monaslir to I.al.e Doiran the entire entente armies have pressed further forward against the demoralized Bulgarians and Germans, whose reinforcements have not ^ been able to sttTeii ti>e line for a face bout. North of Monnstir the important strategic position of Prilcp has been occupied thus giving control of the numerous roads radiating from it to Frpm-h (" n/iilf" I" i ? j. ah uiv; tciiiui tho Serbiar s have pushed their wed ice further in between the enemy's wester i and eastern armies while on the extreme easte-n flank the British and Greeks have advanced on both side". ^ cf the Vardar to a depth averaging I about 10 mi'cs over front of 20 j miles. Nov.horr ere the entente con nanders pcrm'tting 'he Bulgarian and Germans to loss contact with the advancing troops who t.re harassing thein vigorously. So badly has the hundred mile line been penetrated or battered that immediate direct calamity sccmit g'y fac the enemy unless the retreat is greatly hastened and unless the enemy is fleet enough of foot to outdistance the allies on the wings of the drive aAd reconstitute his front to tho north with its center rasting possibly on Uskup or hereabouts. Even if such a maneuver is possible doubtless it will be necessary for the enemy to straighten his lino westward through Albania to the Adriatic Sea. Advance of the Britir.h That the allied flanks are moving swiftly to prevent the separated armies from joining up is indicated in the capture of Prilep and the advance of the British to the north of Lake Doiran. In Palestine (he Turks are everywhere on the retreat hard-pressed by the British, who report the capture of more than 2f>,000 prisoners.
