What Greece viii Do.

Now, the immediate object of Greece
must be TO retain her own territory and
defend her own frontiers. Her army,
when modified, will presumably take its
post along the Constantinople- Salonica
railway from Drama to Dorian. AS Ser
bia has also offered her the Guevgheli
district as the reward for fulfilling her
treaty obligation to Serbia and entering
the war. il is natural TO expect that a
norton of King Constantine's forces will
stand along the Nish-Salonica railroad
and defend it from the Bulgar attack
originating about Strumnitza.
Roughly speaking, the Greek army may
be expected to stand from the mouth of
the Mesta, southeast of Drama. to the
Vardar, at Guevgheli, resting or the two
railroads. If it elects to take the often
sive it will undoubtedly strike for Strum-

once the war begins this population is
bound to suffer at the hands of the infu-
rated Serbs. Unquestionably the war will
open with a general Bulgarian advance
over the mountains from the railhead of
Kustendl and westward from Strum-
ritza.
III 1918 this advance, starting near
Istib. was directed upon Uskub, but after
a successful surprise attack upon the
Serbs was checked and turned back at
the Bregalnitza, few miles from its
starting place. At the same time second
Bulgarian force was sent west from the
Stlumnitza region to cut the Salonica
railroad at Guevgheli. This movement
temporarily cut the Greek and Serb com
munications, but the Greeks, sending
their main army north from Salonics and
a detachment northwest along the Salon
lea railroad, defeated the Bulgarians, who
had cut the railroad and at the same time
struck the main Bulgar force TO the east
at Kilkis and drove it headlong back upon
StrumnitZa. where it met one wing OF
the army which the Serbs had defeated,
and the entire force retreated through the
Struma Passes.

A Second Chance.

Now Bulgaria is to have second
chance; indeed, it is third chance, Tor III
1912 she sent an army south upon Salon
lea. which arrived but few hours after
the Greek Crown Prince had received the
surrender of the Turkish commander al
Salonica. Unquestionably the main effort
of the Bulgars will be directed at the
Nish-Salonica railroad, and the nearest
point on the line for the Bulgars is about
Guevgheli, the scene Of their temporary
success in 1918, which for the moment sep
arated Serbia from Greece.
There is a third railroad which will
play an important part in any new Balkan
conflict This is the Salonica-Constanti-
nople railroad, which parallels the Nish-
Salonica line almost to the Bulgarian
frontier south Of Strumnitza, near Dorian
and then follows this frontier until II
finally crosses il and enters Bulgarian
Thrace, east of Drama. On this line must
depend the troops defending the Greek
frontier, defending Kavala and Drama,
which are among the prizes that Bulgaria
hopes 10 regain in any conflict; de-
tending Sores. which is at the foot of the
main road from the Egean TO Western
Bulgaria, the road up which King Con-
stantine led his victorious armies two
years ago.
Unquestionably a desperate effort will
he made by the Bulgsrians TO cut this

Bulgaria's Campaign.

Meantime, while Germany is hacking
her way through the Vardar valley, what
will Bulgaria do? Obviously, two things
First of all, she will unquestionably send
troops northwest from Sofia toward Nish,
aiming to take in the rear the Serbians
facing north and endeavoring to hold back
the German flood The mission of this
force will be to follow the path of the
Bulgarians who won the battle of Sliv-
nitza in 1885 and open the Nish-Sofia link
in the railroad from the Danube to the
Golden Horn.
But this will probably be but an incl
dental task. To-day, as in the Second
Balkan War, the chief objective of the
Bulgars will be Macedonia and their main
strategic purpose to cut the Nish-Salonica
railroad. which is the life line of Serbia.
Look at the map and it will be seen that
this is the only railroad open to the
Serbs from the outer world. By it must
come such help in men and munitions as
me sea powers and Greece may choose
to send. Once this line is cut, Serbia is
isolated and the Germans will be able to
rcneat in Serbia their campaign in Bel
GUM.
In the Second Balkan War the Bulgars
struck at this railway from lstib, well
within the Macedonian limits. But to-day
18th is Serbian and the Bulgar territory
begins far east above Kustendil, IN the
mountains. where Serbs, Greeks and Bull
cars were fighting when the last war sud
denlv terminated. At only one point is
Bulgar territory near the Nish-Saionica
railroad. and this is just west OF Strum-
nitza and east of the Serbian town OF
Guevghel, where Serb, Greek and Buigar
frontiers meet. Here, or far TO the north
near the town of Vranja, Bulgar lnva-
sion may be expected.
The attack from Strumnltza Is more
likely. because one of the main objects
If Bulgaria is 10 regain possession OF
Macedonia. lost in the Second Balkan
War. She has the added incentive TO
hasten her operations here. because the
ponulation of this region is Bulgar, and

nitza and for the Struma Passes, north Of
Sores, aiming to roll the Bulgarians back
into the mountains and abolish their
threat both to the vital railroad lines in
Greek and in Serbian territory. Such an
operation would be the safest defensive
for both Salonica and Kavala, which are
exposed to landward attack.
There remains one other operation that
the Greeks may undertake. AS Bulgaria
aims to regain Macedonia, Greece plans
to take Bulgarian Thrace from the Mesta
River. east Of Drama, to the Martha Xiv
er, west of Enos. This region was almost
wholly peopled by Greeks before the Bal
kan wars; Dedeagatch was occupied by
the Greeks in the second war, and the sur
render of this territory to the Bulgars at
Bucharest was bitterly opposed in Athens.
If the Bulgarian attack from the north Is
once checked and rolled back, we may
expect Greek advance along the Salon
lea Constantinople railroad, together with
a naval demonstration before Dedeagatch.
But this latter operation has far wider
value and must be considered along with
the probable operations of the Allies.

resistance. Austrian officers have testi-
fed to their preference to face Russians
rather than Serbs. But it represents the
last military line of Serbia. The terrible
campaigns of recent years, the frightful
epidemic of typhus last winter, cruelty
reduced the population of the country, and
if this army is disposed of Serbia is done
for many years to come, for children and
old men alike are in the ranks.

What the Allies Will Do.

The first purpose of any Anglo-French
military expedition to the Balkans must
be to protect the Serbian communications
with Salonica, unless the entire railway
line from Uskub to the Egean is taken
over bv the Greeks. The second must be to
hurry troops inland to Nish, to protect
The Serbian rear from attack coming
through Prot and from Sofia. Serbia
must occupy, after a Bulgarian declara-
ton of war, position between the German
hammer and the Bulgarian anvil. For the
moment Serbia may be able to hold back
the Germans, but she certainly will not
be strong enough to ward off both Bull
garian and German blows.
Once the Serbian situation is assured,
however, then the Quadruple Entente will
unauestionably begin to reconstruct its
plans for the capture Of Constantinople.
From the very outset many military
critics have believed that the wiser line
for the Allies to pursue would be to ad-
vance through Thrace upon the Chatalja
lines and abandon their hitherto fruitless
efforts to force the Dardanelles. But while
Bulgaria was neutral there was lacking
any rail base for such an operation. Now
the Allies can, if Greece is friendly, land
troops at Kavala and at Salonica and
move east across the Mesta into Bugar.

line, probably about Sores, and to occupy
the country along it, which is inhabited
mainly by Bulgars, or was before the
Second Balkan War. Such an operation
will doubtless be supported by another
army moving east along this railroad
from Bulgarian Thrace, for, as will be
seen by glance at the map, the
only way the Bulgarians can munition
their troops in Macedonia or in the
Drama Kavala district is by this railroad
This line comes east from Constantnople
to Salonica and enters Bulgarian terri
tory south of Adrianople, where it con-
meets with the Bulgarian railroad system.
The Second Balkan War.
In the Second Balkan War the Greeks
drove the Bulgars north from this line
through the Struma Passes, and the Bull
rars were unable to make a successful
stand until they reached their own from
tier above Kustendil, which is the end of
railroad from Sofia.
In sum, we may look for Bulgarian
offensives striking at Nish from the south
as the Germans strike at it from the
north, striking at the Nish-Salonica rail
road. both from Kustendil at Vranja and
from Strumntza at Guevghei, striking
at the Constantinople- Salonca line in
Greek territory, both from Bulgarian
Thrace toward Drama and from Mace
donia toward Sores and Dorian, south of
Strumnitza. Bulgaria's mission will thus
he TO isolate Serbia while Germany
brushes her, and incidentally Bulgaria will
ondeavor to occupy as much as possible of
Serbian and Greek territory, which she
hopes to acquire, with German help, when
..he war ends.

railroad, and, using Salonica and Dedea-
Catch as their bases, move their forces,
first through Greek and Bulgar territory
to the Martha, and then east along the
main Oriental Railroad, which comes from
Belgrade and Sofia, through Adrianople
and joins the Adrianople- Dedeagatch line
near Dimotika.

Constantinople the Real Prize.

In viewing the new Balkan crisis it
must be recognized that the possession Of
Constantnople is the chief objective. II
the Allies succeed in reaching the city
by land or water before the Germans
have cut way south through Serbia,
then the whole German campaign will be
Of no avail because the defence of Con-
stantinople by the sea powers will be "A
simple matter. But if the Germans reach
the Golden Horn before the Allies, then
the complete failure Of the whole Oar
danelles operation will have to be faced.
Such a failure would leave the Allies
with no other possible course than to aban-
don the whole Near East, withdraw their
armies. leave Serbia to her fate and, at
most, endeavor to protect Greece from a
German Bulgarian attack, which would
follow German success in the main cam
pagn. Once Serbia is disposed Of and
Constantinople relieved, the Bulgarans
will have a free hand to deal with the
Greeks. unless Rumania becomes uneasy,
which is hardly likely if the German sue
cess is complete. What is more likely is
that Bulgaria and Rumania will then

A Familiar Road.

Moving east along this railroad they
can reach Lule Burgas, the scene of the
great battle of the First Balkan War,
and then follow the pathway of the vic
torious Bulgars to the Chatalja lines.
Meantime, the land route between Con-
stantinople and the Dardanelles on the
European side could be cut by detaching
a corps to Rodosto, as the Bulgars did in
their advance.
Such an advance would be exposed to a
flank attack by the Bulgars coming south
through Adrianople, which has been dis
mantled and evacuated by the Turk; but if
Bulgaria should detach troops for this
attack, then pressure on the Serbs would
be relieved. Until the road through Ser
bia is opened, too, the Bulgars and Turks
will l,ck munitions.
A drive at Constantinople through
Thrace would compel the Turks to recall
considerable portion Of their army on
the Galipoi Peninsula, and such with
drawal might open the way for success
full Allied attack at this point.

The German Offensive.

Taxing the German operations first,
rsnce at the map will show that there
are two possible courses open to General
Varkensen if. as rumor holds. the victor
= the Dunaiec is TO be sent TO hack a
ray through Serbia to Constantinople.
The shortest and easiest route across
'srbis would be southwark, crossing the
danube at Semendria and following the
r,,ey Of the Vardar to Nish and thence
Rough Prot to the Bulgarian frontier
vest Of Sofia.
Taking this route. the Germans would
5liow the line Of the Oriental Railroad,
he only direct railroad from Berlin and
Vienna to Constantinople. The value of
he railroads in this, as in all other cam
.aigns, cannot be too greatly emphasized.
7 Germany is successful in the war, this
the road by which she hopes to reach
he Near East and win her place in the
ur."
By this same route the Crusaders de-
csnded to Constantinople, and the Turks
their turn came west until they were
halted under the walls Of Vienna. Nish,
he only considerable town on the route
nd The present capital of Serbia, was the
birthplace Of Constantine the Great and
'sl before the "frightfulness" of Attila.
Between Nish and Semendria there is no
pnsiderabie military obstacle and the dis
lance is not great, being some $50 miles.
L is also possible that the Germans
lay attempt 10 invade Serbia from the
Sest along the route followed by the
AHstrians in their two recent operations.
Bot both Of these ended in disastrous
out, and the country is far less favor
aole FOR an invading army. In addition
here are no railroads over the whole
'stance from the Bosnian frontier TO the
'ardar Valley, which would be reached
loout Nish. The country. too, has been
'astsd By previous invasions, while the
rdar Valley, which is the garden Of Ser
"a. remains. As yet. untouched by war.
