Turkish troops to protect Bulgarian

Anglo-French feet is guarding the
landing of troops at Saloniki and is
patrolling the AEGEAN coast Of Bull
garia.
The number of Germans and Aus
trians invading Serbia appears to be
a matter of much doubt. Some re-
ports fix it at SOC. 900. others at 600.-
900. and still others at not more than
100000. 1t probably is somewhat
less than it would have been had
there been no allied offensive in the
West. The drive by which the
French made such important gains in
the Champagne country and around
Sorchez and the English a gam oi
three miles at Loos caused the leu
tons loss of probably 200. 900 effect
ives if We include as a part of the
drive all the operations of the last
three weeks in the western theater.
The drive is still in progress. Dur
the week the French bettered their
position in Champagne by taking
several strong enemy positions,
notably the hill at Tahure and the
region to the southeast of that point.
The French objective is the Challe-
range Bazancourt railroad, which
runs back of the German lines few
miles. This road is already under
fire of the French guns at some
points. At this juncture it is timely
t. mention the new air fleets of
France. Aeroplanes armed with
cannon TO which we alluded last week
are being employed in great numbers
to lombard railroad depots and other
supply stations. The particular ad-
vantage of these aeroplanes Is that
they can select unguarded stations
and cause destruction without dan
ger to themselves. Otherwise the
Germanswill be forced to keep guards
armed with aeroplane guns at every
exposed supply depot.
A movement of considerable i'm
portance appears to have begun
along the southern Russian front.
The Vienna report states that the
Russians attacked along the whole
line in Galicia and the Russian prov
ince Just to the north. This seems
To be an offensive timed to begin
with the Teutonic drive into Serbia.
The Vienna official communication,
after stating that the Russians were
repulsed everywhere. adds the signifi-
cant statement that the Russians had
plenty of ammunition. II that is
true. the Russians are able to fight
on equal terms with their foes for
the first time in six months How
Russia has been able to obtain ade-
quate supplies of munitions will be
fascinating story when it is told
after the war. 1t means that indus
try in Russia has been reorganlzed
and that the immense superiority OF
Russia in numbers of workmen is be-
ginning to tell. 1t also means that
Russia is being supplied from the
the outside by Great Britain, France,
Japan and American manufacturers.
Ii is interesting to note in this con-
nection that Russia's new railroad to
the Arctic sea from Petrograd IS
com, leted. according to unofficial re-
ports. This is not a new line TO
Archangel. but to the harbor
of Ekaterina. on the Arctic
ocean far to the northwest
