but even if they clear the railway to
Nish il may be to find the Germans
firmly intrenched there.
Vsniy the Bulgarians have fought TO
maintain themselves on the Nish-Sa-
lonica railway, but the troops OF tho
Entente and the French 75's are too
much for them, and they are being
forced out of Macedonia with almost
the same rapidity as they invaded It.

the capture of which will render the
whole Vranja fne untenab!e.
With this artery Of transport aban-
doned, practically the whole territory
now occupied would have to be given up.
Despite Lord Lansdowte's statement
in Parliament yesterday that only $4,000

the fact that the Allied line now ex-
tends from Dorian to Gradska, or a dis

The internal situation Of Bulgaria.
which is reported serious. may have
some effect on the campaign. A mill

According to an official announce

banians have taken a hand against the
Serbians, and begun an attack in the
Prizrend region, where the Serbs have
