HE Serbian army once more has evoked wide ad

miration for Its successful attack on the Bulgarian

lines In Macedonia. After the German drive In

March a large share of the British and French troops were understood to have been withdrawn from the Saloniki front, leaving it largely to the Serbs and Greeks to hold.

The country through which the Allied armies' are operating Is extremely mountainous and difficult. The British public, as was pointed out in a London dispatch yesterday, had grown skeptical of expecting results there. Vet the advance led by the Serbs already has made remarkable progress. The Vardar river flows from the north intd the Gulf of Saloniki. They are taking advantage of the low land of the Vardar valley to move north to the important railway Junction of Uskup, which cannot be more than forty miles from their present positions.

From this point they could cross the divide and enter the valley of the Morava, which flows into the Danube a few miles east of Belgrade. Their next objective would be the old Serbian town of Nish, another important railway junction. Possession of Nish would cut the direct

line of communication from Vienna to Constantinople by way of Sofia, the Bulgarian capital. So great an advance before the winter snows obstruct the fighting would be a miracle. In any event, however, I he allied successes coming on the verge of a winter of hardship must make the Bulgarian people wonder whether their German king and his ministry have proved guides who can be trusted. The hopelessness of the cause of

Middle Europe might readily develop important quences in the Balkans before spring.

Breaking the Grip of the Kaiser on Bulgars and Turks

By HILAIRE BELLOC Author of "Elements of the Great War" and Britain's Military Critic

Most Distinguished

Copyright, 1918, New York Tribune Inc.

THE two chief military events this week have both taken place in minor subsidary theatres of the war, one in Macedonia and the other In Palestine. The . first thing to appreciate in regard to such operations is their necessity. There has been a

holding what is essential to preserve from the enemy the only outlet he would have from the Balkans to the Aegean at Calonica. It was vital to the Allied interest to send an expeditionary force to Salonica when they

compact to hand over to that empire!

i uuiroi or me entries to the Black sea. Bulgaria came into the war as a government because its scheming and rascally "monarch saw dynastic opportunity for himself; but as a nation it came in because of the profound

wrong xne Bulgarians felt thev had

as much political as military and each

of them further shakes the rapidly waning adherence to the enemy's cause, which these two countries so long maintained.

To return from these general po

litical considerations to the operations

themselves, we first note the apparent ease with which the Bulgarian front is broken by the French and Serbian atack this week. It was the poUUcal condition in Bulgaria probably which accounted for this, but It was certainly something we in the west hardly expected. The situation is as follows: The great tangle of mountains ot which Southern Serbia is composed terminate above the Macedonian Plain in a long, rather regular, steep and wooded ridge, stretching from the Vardar to the great bend of the Cerna. It Is a ranee of mountains from five to six

thousand feet high and on the south

ern slopes this range Is facing tne Dlain where the main Bulgarian defen

sive position is drawn up. It was nulte as strong as anything in the

west prepared with the help of the Austrian and German engineers over a period of more than two years. This line was broken In a sector of six miles, and the mountain positions behind it were carried with such rapidity that In thirty-six hours the gap was already twenty-five miles broad and the French and Serbians advancing through It had reached the Cema River and proceded down Its valley over twenty mlleB. Before the end of the week the main Vardar line was reached and success appeared complete. As a manifestation of the political state in Bulgaria and her possible collapse as a belligerent the French and Serbians success is of great interest, but as a military operation proper, it needs qualifications than the press as a rule has Riven it. The whole line

across Macedonia is something like

160 miles In length as the crow flies, and if you make a breach in such a line of not more than twenty-five miles and nenetrate deeDlV through the

breach while the country is such that you cannot rapidly move your flanks then you are in danger of forming a pocket where you may suffer disaster. It was on this account that immediately following the French and Serbian success the British and the Greeks attacked on the right of the line by Lake Doiran. But this attack, unfortunately

Against these six divisions the plan of the British General Command was to leave unmenaced, for the moment the two divisions east of the Jordan and attack strongly the Turkish left between the main trunk road and the Jordan, and, while his left was thus being held and the menace of defeat appeared, there to strike with extreme vigor on the much easier ground of the open sea plain on the Turkish right. The desired effect was reched immediately and completely. The Turkish lines between the foothills of the Judean Highlands and the Mediterranean were broken so thoroughly that the cavalry could be sent through at once, and they got northward and behind the retiring Turks, capturing at a blow the equivalent to two divisions, with the artillery and nearly all the wheeled transport of the Turkish forces between the Jordan and the en. Unfortunately, the pursuit did

not manage to get to Nablus in time to destroy the whole Turkish army west of the Jordan. Had Nablus been

, reached in the first thirty-six hours not

a man or a gun wouia nave eswywi for Nablus Is the meeting point of all thP rnads in that region.

The pursuit was held up in the Valley of Samarun. The enemy covered Nablus for at least three days, and ap

pears to he covering it still at the mo

ment of writing, consequently me retirement of the Turks on the left will take place up the main road from Jerusalem and then on northeastward bv the road which passes the Jordan

and fords that river. It is true that such a retirement can only take place with the utmost disorganization, and the saving of vehicles and guns across

the Jordan valley will be for the most part impossible. But half or more than half of the men may be able to get away by this gate, which remained

nnpn to the enemy. There was a mo

ment when it seemed as though the two divisions to the east of the Jordan would be caught In a trap also, but now it is too late for this to be a probable result. The railway behind them has been cut, but there is no considerable force

present to prevent their railing DacK

suffered when Austria, after the first ion the flank of the French and Ser

cancan war, egged on Serbia and Greece to occupy what is in the Bulgarian's eyes, national territory. The Bulgarians also desired to recover what they regarded as national territory taken from her in extreme need by Rumania at the same time. As long as the cause of the Central empires seemed victorious the strain of war thus entered into by Turkey and Bulgaria, for reasons which had nothing to do with the main quarrel, waB borne, though not cheerfully; but now that the tide "has turned and Prussia cannot win, the strain is becoming intolerable.

bians. who had thrust so far rorwara

in so short a time, and had consequently imperilled their flanks. The good element was the possibility that before any such Bulgarian reaction the French and Serbians would reach the Vardar Valley in force and cut the railway upon which the Bulgarian front at Lake Doiran depends. At the moment of writing, a somewhat

confused situation seems on the whole to suggest the latter rather than the former. It looks as though the main communication of the Bulgarian army by read and railway down the Vardar Valley is going to be cut before the Bulgarian units round the lower part of the valley near Lake Doiran could send support to their colleagues further west. One of the features of the feituatioh which seems curious is the

small numbers with . which the Bul

garians appear to have been holding the part of the front that broke. The complete local success in the breach of the line over twenty-five miles and the very rapid advance beyond it produced no more than 8.000 prisoners and 100 guns, and that looks as though the Bulgarians are keeping considerable reserves up In the country. I have to leave the strategical situation at Macedonia this week with the most interesting point still undecided, but before these lines are in print we shall know whether the main line in the Vardar Valley has been thoroughly

cut or not, and shall see what tne consequences of that operation will be if it is accomplished. In Palestine we have had another example, but for more striking, of the effects upon the army morale, when

the country behind it is getting wobbly about the prosecution of the war. There can be no doubt at all that the collapse of the Turkish defence stretched across Palestine was the collapse of forces not properly supported by public opinion and the government. And it is probable that this collapse will in turn breed further trouble for those who still continue the policy of war in Constantinople. Merely to hang on as an ally of

Prussia when you have nothing to

gain by it, when you are suffering con

tinuous and now severe defeats, Is

something that those ruled by the present committee of Constantinople

cannot submit to. The loung Turk

government rule in terror Is desperately unpopular, and certainly won't survive defeat. , Now the defeat the Turkish forces have suffered in Palestine has been

very complete. Allenby seems to have had in front of him six divisions, two on the far side of the Jordan and four holding the line between the Jordan and the sea. It further would seem that no considerable reserves were present Immediately behind the line. It is one of the curious features in the situation that after the victory in the rapid advance no shock with the arriving of reserves took place.

great deal of criticism delivered against the use of troops in distant operations who might, apparently, be more useful If concentrated on the western front, where alone the war

can be decided and where. In fact, it J

is being decided at this moment. This criticism certainly has been Justified, in the past, when considerable expeditions have been launched, nometimes with insufficient object, and often with ill success. There was In the past a school which really believed that the situation on the western front was a deadlock and that the war could be won by turning the Central empires by the east. It was an error and productive of disastrous results. But the present situation is not that at all. The troops operating in Mespotamia and Palestine are bodies sufficient enough to do more than their task. They are based upon neighboring countries, and largely recruit themselves from the east. The forces In Macedonia are forces

have changed since all . three expe-1

ditions were undertaken. The two extraneous allies of the Central empires, Turkey and Bulgaria, were each attached to the Prussian dominion in Europe for reasons utterly disassociated from the cause of Prussia, and each again was moved by motives quite separate from the other. Each was an enemy to the other in lasting and violent fashion unknown even to the worst quarrels of the west. The Turkish empire came in simply because the allied victory would put an end of the Turkish possession of Constantinople and the Straits, while the Prussian victory promised the retention of both. The Prussian empire was still in
