OF WAR FAVORS THE ALLIES ON BOTH THE
 FRONTS
Two Victories Are
 Of Strategic Value
SERBIAN AND GERMAN AC- COUNTS AGREE THAT TEUTONS ARE MEETING GREATER RESISTANCE THAN WAS EXPECTED.
By Associated Press.

by ASSoclSted Press.
 LONDON, Oct. 1S.-Reports that the Allies have occupied Strumitsa and landed at Enos, which was re- gently transferred from Turkish to Bulgarian rule. caused an optimistic feeling today in the allied countries. The capture of Strumitsa is of real strategic value as it permits the de- fense of the southern end Of the rail way and compels tbe Bulgarians to keep force ther. &raos is of value too. Occupation threatens Dedeag- hatch, which has a great harbor, for tifed and mined.
 From the Serbian and German ac- counts it Is known the Teutons are meeting greater resistance than they expected. Although it is probable the Serbians must fali back to stronger strategic positions to the north, the fact that the Allies are bringing heavy forces against the Bulgarians and so placing them that the Bulgarians will be compelled to divide their armies, gives hope in London that the Ger mans may be baked in their latest at tempt to reach the sea and bring as sistancc to the Turks.
 So far as learned Bulgarian forces have only reached the Zlotokopska valley, near the river Morava, north of Vranya, where they wrecked a wooden bridge near the railway. There is no confirmation Of the re- port that they cut the railway in this district. The Bulgarian force is not large.
 The Italians, according to the lat est advices will not send a contingent to the Balkans, but it is expected they will cooperate with the navy in the Aegean, where the allied fleet is gath cred. The point where the Russians will strike is not disclosed It is ex- pected the Allies will surprise the Teutons and that steps are being talk en to bring Turkey to its knees be- fore assistance arrives.
