LONDON, Oct l9.-The report that
the allies have occupied Strumitsa and
landed at Enos. which was recently
transferred from Turkish to Bulgarian
rule, has caused a more optimistic feel
Ing throughout the allies countries,
AS to the progress OF the near east
ern campaign. ii is known from both
Serbian and German accounts that
Field Marshal Won Mackensen's army
is meeting with greater resistance
than was expected and although it is
probable that the Serbians eventually
must fall back on stronger strategic
positions in the north, the fact chat
the allies are bringing forth the heavy
forces against the Bulgarians and 50
placing them that the Bulgarians will
be compelled to divide their armies.
gives hope here that the Germans MAJ
be baked in their latest attempt TO
reach the sea and bring assistance 10
the Turks.
All along the line the Serbians and
their Montenegrin neighbors. who also
are being attacked, are offering very
stubborn resistance 10 both Austro-
Germans and Bulgarians, and while
they nave given up number OF towns
and positions they have not yet
reached the line on which they expect
tc make their last stand.
The Bulgarians so far as can be
learned have made progress only IN
the Zlotokopaka valley near the river
Morava. north OF the town Of Vranya.
where they blew up bridge.
The Italians, according to the latest
reports, will not send contingent to
the Balkans, but cooperation Of their
navy in the Aegean, where an allied
fleet has already gathered, is looked
for.
The point Mt which the Russians

The expectations is. however. that the
allies have surprise LOT tne cehuai
powers and that steps are being taken
go bring Turkey to her knees before
assistance can reach her.
There has been plenty Of hey
fighting on both the eastern and west
ern fronts. but in neither case has
either side attempted a general often
sive. The Germans are still making
great effort between Riga and
Dvinsk and have met with some minor
successes. but thence TO the Rou
manian border, wherever there has
been any fighting It is the Russians
who are attacking and they too CLAIM
some gains.
Much the same conditions prevail OF
the western front. The British have
been attacking east of Vermelles ac

JAP SCR|DES ARE
HARD ON UMP|RES

! when baseball scribe pulls that
moth-eaten gag. robbed by the usa-
pires," you always find that the Off
ciajs sre put on the pan for discrimi-
mating against the home team It's
queer. but The home scribes never
see where the home team gets any of
az the breaks from the umpires.
We can take a lesson from the
t Japanese. for while they roast the
umpires over there the same as they
do In this country. the roasting is be-
cause the visiting team has not re-
ceivcd justice. Recently the Leland
Stanford University lost a game to a
japanese nine. Look over what the
Japanese prints had to say the fol-
lowing day:
The Japanese Gazette says: "Japa-
nese baseball umpires have once
again given public demonstration
that In matches In which kyisiting
teams are opposed to their country
men they are unable to be fair in their
decisions. The umpircs. Koyama and
Noaki. gave "A disgraceful exhibition
of Partiality"
The Japan Mail rises TO remark:
The umpiring cannot be too severe
Iy Censured IT was not umpirtng; 1t
was simply a disgusting exhibition OF
the Erossest partisanshlp. every de-
cision of importance without excep
ton being given In favor of The home
team"
The Japan Advertiser adds this
comment. The umpiFes, both
+ koyama and Naoki. were to all APP
5pearances out of keio to win by hook
4or crook
And get this from the Yorodzu:
