ity he has achieved fame, and not on
ly military critics OF Russia but of
other nations have rated him as one
Of the ablest generals Of the warning
nations. Although the Grand Dukes
armies have suffered a long series of
reverses since the beginning of the
great Austro- German offensive move
ment in May, their leader has been
credited with conspicuous strategic
successes during this period. as we'll

has been superseded by the Emperor
During the last few weeks there has
been severe criticisms of the conduct
Of the war by the Russian authorities
The minister Of war. General Souk-
hontlinoff. resigned. and the formation
Of a coalition government has been
under discussion. The source Of dis
satisfaction. however, has been prin-
cipally the inadequate supply Of mu-
nittons Of war. and SO far as the ca
BILE dispatches from Russia have
shown there has been no criticism OF
the Grand Duke in this connection.

Affairs in the Balkan States have reached an acute stage and it is believed that Russia aud Bulgaria will be battling before the close of the present week, and that Greece and Rumania must jnev- itably be drawn into the struggle. The Bulgarian government has sent an ultimatum to King Peter demand ing that Serbia cede Macedonia to Bulgaria and threatening an imme- diate invasion of Serbia if the de- mands are not granted. Bulgaria has also refused to recognize the right of Russia to demand an expla- nation for the mobilization of Bulga- rian troops on the Rumanian from tier.
 King Constantine, of Greece, has reported to have notified Berlin that his country will continue to remain neutral unless invaded by the Bulga- rians or Serbiars, but the military party of Greece is reported to have ignored the king and to be actively preparing for war.

 Russian troops have been. u1assed on the Bulgarian frontier and the be- ginning of hostilities are momentarily expected.
