attempt to Drive Germans Out of
France Not Effective-ereece
Hesitating

The great allied drive against the
German lines in France, which began
nearly two weeks ago, seems to have
been stopped, or at least delayed, by,
the tremendous energy of the German
defense and counter-attack.
The German reports, claiming to
be based upon General Joffre's state
ment to the French soldiery befors
the drive comemnced, say that q
was the Intention OF the allies to
wipe France clear of German soldiers
but The failure TO accomplish the puIs
pose marks the inability of the al:
lied forces to recover lost ground or
to penetrate the German lines.
Bulgaria With Germany.
Earlier in the war it was thought
that if the Balkan states became in;
volyed it would be on the side of the
allies, but later developments have
shown that Bulgaria, seeming to feel
that the outcome of the stupendous
war will be favorable to Germany and
its ally, Austria, has finally thrown
itself into the situation against the
allies.
Greece Hesitafes.
Greece, which had been expected
to join the English and French at
once upon the entrance of Bulgaria,
is hesitating The announcement is
now made, to the great disappoint-
ment Of the allies, that Greece will
not actively participate unless its
territory is invaded In other words,
according to late information, Greece
will not join in the war Hnless forced
to do SO through the invasion of
some part of its domain.
To Relieve the Turks.
Germany and Austria are conten-
traiing forces with a View. to invading
Serbia. The object -ss the sGarman
i alslance, so far as the Balkan situa-
tinn is concerned, was mainly to Sc
cure passage OF troops through the
Balkans for the relief Of Turkey, es-
pecially with respect to the Dardan-
elfes in order to prevent the fall Of
Constantinopl
with German reinforcements, offic-
cred by German military men, it is
felt that it will be practically i'm.
possible for the allies to gain the
Turkish capital, and, therefore. fail
ure to open the way for munitions to
reach the Russians from the outsi,.e
and also to cut off the utilization of
Russia's immense stores Of foodstuffs

avenues for getting chem to the allied
