eastern Servia. across the Danube.
This change in the original plans is
due to the pressing need for getting
into Bulgaria as soon as possible and
enecting a consolidation with the
Bulgar armies. The necessity for
making sure of the possession of the
single trans-Bulgarian railway line
that runs into Turkey is allimport-
ant for the teutons.
The advance of tho Anglo-French
troops into Bulgaria does not yet
threaten this railway, but both sides
are preparing for a race to dominate
it.
The Bulgarian movement in Mace
donian Servia is progressing more
favorably than along any other part
of the border. At one point. toward
Ishtip. an advance Of about fifty miles
has been made from the Bulgarian
boundary. But. this offensive cannot
be a serious menace. 1t is open to a
dangerous flank attack by the allies
at Sarumnitza. for which reason. prob
ably only light, highly mobile force
is penetrating along the Ishtip line.
From the standpoint of the main in
terests at stake-the reinforcement of
the Turks-the Balkan situation for
the moment is more encouraging to
the quadruple entente than to the
teutons.

Outwardly the most important vic
tory of the invaders is the capture of
Vranja. whereby the railway between
Salonika and Nish has been cut. But
Vranja is $50 miles north Of Salon
ika. and if the Anglo-French force
going to the relief of the Serbs
reaches as far into Servia as that. the
cutting of the railway will make very
little difference. The Bulgarians will
have to protect the. country they
have made, by engaging the allies in
battle If the allies win in the feld

will be but a minor difficulty.

PARIS, Oct. 20.-In the middle Of
the Champagne battle field, my first
impression was that judgment day
had come; that I had been left benin !
to roam the disrupted earth alone.
AS far as the eye could Zee there
was one vast, pitted waste of chalk,
with snags of annihilated forests
sticking up, gaunt and white and COW
cred with dust against the sky line
and with arms and legs and other
fragments of dead men lying stinkins
like common garbage on titanic
dump.
This WAS the work of the French
artillery. Here the Germans had been.
Here many were still-rotting.
Hell's furies seemed to have been
lforestalled and outdone.
For three days ! was permitted to
wander over the ground recently won
by the French.
I had talked previously with many
officers and men concerning the eff
ticacy of the french shell fire, but
even thus prepared and despite what
l had hitherto observed personally, ]
was totally surprised by what saw.
Over many square miles practical
ly no Vegetation was left. Even the
rabbits and rats had not escaped.
Almost three million shells were
hurled into this area in three days,
digging pits from five to seventy-five
feet deep, the latter 130 to $50 feet
across. AS a result Of this concen-
trated fire, the whole country was
covered with white powder.
A general told me the German
troops were so demoralized that
droves OF prisoners the French took
were sent to the rear without other
escort than single guide; that many
were almost insane for days.
Numerous entire French regiments
have been trying to clean up the bat
tiefield ever since the struggle, but
without seeming to make headway. so
vast Is the undertaking.
Excavations bring to light daily
fresh war stores or huddles Of putri-
flying Germans, as if this were some
new Pompeii.
What took at first to be the stump
of shell torn bush turned out to be
a crisped red hand on human arm,

present one.
It was learned on reliable authority
