/? ?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.

?re encounters?sharp and vicious;

pre raids and small attacks ami cor.nterattacks.
But one watches n vain
for that great battle of the air which
h<? 'lying legions secreted here behind
both ths1 American and German lines
would make possible, and meanwhile
the irrepressible hoys of the United
States I'.yV.:; r re are forking otT
their animal spirits by such diversions
as "sau age" potting.
Yesterday a young American, Lieutenant
Luke, brought down two enemy
ballons, which made his total
eleven for four days. "Jolly good!"'
exclaimed one of the Yankee fr?erds
which hints at one type of result Hi it
he co-operate of the British independent
air force with the Americans
s having.
As for the military ; itu.'.tion, i'
icems to have resolved itself in this
immediate sector into a sort of slow
backward crawl nu' movement by the
enemy from his impermanent positions

is plenty of sound opinion that

not yet done so.
