Is Aim of Allies

tory Will Be Fought Out on
Plains of Hungary.

ATHENS. September 30 (via Paris)
II believe we are OH the eve OF the
most important operation of the war,
namely. the landing of troops in Mace
donia to begin the march not so much
on Constantinople as on Berlin" said
An officer attached to the general staff
OF the British army on the Gallipoli
Peninsula who has come TO Athens
from the Dardanellcs front.
The two offensive forces arc grad
ually closing in. The Mesopotamla ex-
pcdition is approaching nearer to Bag
dad. and from tho Suvla Bay-Gaba
Tepe line an attack on Constantinople
may begin at any moment"
The officer who gave expression TO
these ideas is Compton Mackenzie, who
is attached 10 the Intelligence depart
ment of the general staff at the Dar-
danellcs lie reached Athens yester-
day from the front.
Commenting on the situation further
and particularly in the Balkans. Cap
tain Mackenzie said:
1T is my opinion that the co-opcra-
ton OF Greece with the allies will be-
gin the last chapter of the war One
more gap in the iron ring around Aus
tria and Germany is being closed. The
final victory will be fought out on the
plains Of Hungary. The way to Berlin
lies through Budapest and Breslau."
