German challenge In southeastern
Europe and emphasizes the dom.
inant part the British empire must
henceforth play If the Teutons are
to be checked.
The Serbs are beginning TO ap-
peal for the delayed help that has
mysteriously disappeared some
where in Greece, between Salonika
and the Serbian frontier.
Once the Germans are entrenched
in the Serbian mountains, say the
Serbs, it may require 100000 men
TO dislodge them. But the saliva
ton of Serbia is a comparatively
unimportant part Of the Allies
plans. The major consideration is
to prevent permanent line CT COM

minimum distance this line must
extend is $50 miles. Only 80 miles
necessarily passes through Serbia.
1t is not essential, therefore, that

Serbia. The increasingly equivocal
attitude OF Greece, in fact. makes
an expedition into Serbia based on
Salonika one OF considerable hazard.
II the Greeks conclude that Serbia
is destined to be dismembered no
agreement with the Allies can pre-
vent them altering their policy SO
as to be in at the death. 1t would
be precarious for the Allies il, after
they had sent a large force into
Serbia. Greece were suddenly 70
prevent supplies for Serbia being
landed on Greek soil. Either war
would have to be declared against
Greece, or the isolated army in
Serbia would be compelled to sur
render after its ammunition had
gone.
There have been intimations sug
gested in the British parliament
that the Greek situation is not re
garded with full satisfaction by the
military authorities. Under this
condition, the Allies must now b.
taking under consideration an alter
native plan to the Serbian expedi
ton. There are, IN fact, two Other
possible methods of preventing The
maintenance OF a Teutonic line o.
supplies TO Constantinople. One Is
TO land troops on the Aegean coas
OF Bulgaria, and the other is e
send force into European Turkey
Either of these expedients, IL sue
cessful, would serve the main pur
pose OF the western Allies az com
| pletely as II the Teutonic advance
were checked in Serbia.
The principal requirement Of the
! Allies Is men, and Great Britain
possesses probably 100000 OF then
