are centering their attention upon the
Balkan menace.
Despite the teutonic victories In
Galicia, and the inability OF the al"
lies to make progress in the west,
the present time is the most critical
period the Germans have encountered
since the war began. If Greece and
Roumania declare their bellIgerency,
Turkey and Hungary may be quickly
brought to terms and Germany NAV
find herself compelled either to make
peace or to continue the war alone
without further help from the Haps-
burgs and the Ottomans.
In Bulgaria's resentfulness against
the way she was plundered after the
Turkish war by Greece, Servia and
Roumania, lies Germany's chief hope
of keeping the Balkans neutral Greece
and Roumania have no means Oh
knowing whether or not Bulgaria
would suddenly fall on them and re-.
cover her lost territory if their armies
n,ere weakened in the battles with the
allies.
German diplomacy is engaged in
humoring this SUSPICION and at the
same time unquestionably trying to
nersuade the Turks to purchase Bull
eari.,s good will by ceding Adrianop.s
and other parts. German diplomats
are now facing greater problems than
those the German staff were compelled
to solve.

PETROGRAD, June 15.-Haited In
their attempt to reach Lemberg from
the south, the Austro-Germans have
renewed their drive from the west
along forty mile front.
A semi-officiai statement today re-
ported fierce fighting along the river
Skio, fifty miles west Of lemberg.
General Mackensen's center is at
tackinq the Russian positions on the
highway leading from JarosIau to
Lembere. The right wing Is again on
the offensive near Mosciska.
Though the war office admits that
the Russian line east Of Jarosiau was
bent back by superior forces Of the
enemy and the village Of TuehIa cap
tured, today's statement said there
was nothing alarming in the situation
west Of Lembere. The Russians are
strongly entrenched.
Shortneing Of the Russian line south
and southeast Of Lemberg by the
withdrawal of the Bukowina army
has resulted in minor successes for
the enemy along the Dniester, twenty
eight miles northwest Of Czernowitz.
In the north, the battle Of Shawl

Cne OF tHe surprising Iedtui cS u
the walkout as viewed today by pub
