Balkan Offensive Waits on Greece

THERE can he but one explanation of the
failure of the allies TO push their Of
fcnsive from Sa Oniki. 1t is that they await
the definite reception of Greece into the en-
tcnte. which il is practically certain cannot
be delayed more than few days. Yielding
to the demands of the British and French
ministers at Athens. Greece already has VIC
lated neutrality. her army is being modified
anew. Ter political parties united and
Germany prepares TO dispatch an ultimatum
OF this conjunction of circumstances the out
come must be a formal dcclarati ton Of war.
Seemingly the allies have lost their chance
if it ever existed. of inducing Bulgaria to
abandon her allegiance to the central powers
ard negotiating separate peace. The pur-
pose Of the present campaign in the east is
the military destruction OF Austria Hungary
If Bulgaria could have been persuaded TO
yield without fight. as for a time seemed
likely, there would have been more troops
and larger supplies OF munitions with which
10 give the coup de grace to the empire or
the llapsburgs.
But Bulgaria stands firm The Rou-
maniaa declaration against Austria was fol-
lowed by Bulgarian declaration against Rou-
mania. and the armies CT Car Ferdinand
have invaded the Dobrudja There Russians
are fighting side By side with Roumanans
and Germans with Bulgarians.
Most Of Roumania's available troops are
being utilized in the invasion of Pennsylvania
ana the attack on Bulgaria doubtless is being
delayed TO some extent while reserves are
collected and munit0ned and new Russian
assistance is brought up. But this cannot
he the whole explanation. The time is ripe
for the thrust northward from Saloniki
That thrust would not be deferred but for
the ACCESSIBILITY OF establishing clearly the
attitude OF the country whose soil the
allies in the Balkans now operate.
With 100000 Greeks added TO his armies
General Sarrai would have ample forces to
push through the Vardar Valley into Serbia
and toward Nsh The Italians operating
from Avlona have begun tentative attacks on
the Bulgarian right wing, previously ex-
tended well into Albania With 100000
Serbians. frenchmen, Britons, Russians Ital-
ians and Greeks based on Saloniki and per-
maps 100000 Italians at Avlona. while Rou-
mania stands in the rear. the rolling up and
crushing OF the bulgarian armies ought to he
easily possible.
When Greece has acted there will be no
more delay, and from that moment the cam
palgn IN the Balkans will assume a larger
immediate Importance than that in progress
IN any other thcatcr of war. Victory for the
allies there will not end the conflict but it
will decide the issue and bring peace apprc-
ciably nearer.
