Rather Dramatic.
81 This arrival Of French troops ut
the psychological moment when the
Serbian struggle with $4,000 newly
arrived Bulgarians at vilandovo and
Hundovo still hung In the balance has
dramatic qualities. which, for the
moment have completely esclipsed the
military exploits in other theaters.
The chief military Importance o.
the allied-Serbian success is the de-
feat of the Bulgarian project of cut
ting the Saloniki-Nish railroad, which
is known to have been the Bulgarian
objective. 1t is not clear whether
British troops co-operated with the
French in this operation but mes
sage from Athens stating they hs
left Saloniki Saturday for the Scribe
Bulgarian frontier indicated they al
least were near the scene of the fight
ing.
Increased Aggressiveness
Russian and Italian help thus far
has been only Indirectly exerted by
increased aggressiveness against the
Austro-Germans. which make a fur
Their detection Of Teutonic forces
to the Balkans impracticable.
In the eastern theater the Germans
again are attacking the Russian posi-
tons southeast of Riga, but Petro-
purely demonstration calculated
to distract attention from the Dyinsk
region and Galicia, which have gained
greatly in Importance with the Balkan
development, 1t Is clear that al
though the battle which General Ivan
of continues with varying success the
Germans have been unable to estab-
oflish themselves on the eastern bank
of the river stripa.
With particularly intense artil-
lery fire continuing on both sides in
the Champagne region, the French war
ONCE reports slight progress. A strong
barricade to the southeast Of Neuville
has been captured and the Givenchy
wood positions have been consolidat-
ed.
