MonaStir has done IL Our pro-
British editors are seeing a dim
light Of victory for the Allies,
and their JOY is greater than
that of the Allies themselves,
for our pro-British editors are
more British than the British
themselves. We are not in the
least inclined to belittle the
success the Serbians and their
French comrades attained by
taking Monastir, but, at the
same time, we are quite certain,
that they themselves and their
American press agents would
not make half as much ado alb
out ii, il it would not be for
the fact, that the Germans have
scored victories on other fronts.
which by all means and under
all circumstances overshadow the
comparatively little success of
the Allies on the Macedonian
front.
The German victories were
won on the western front
against the British and the
French, but above all, on the
Rumanian front, where the
plains OF Wallachia were finally
reached by the soldiers Of Cen
eral Won Falkenhayn. The Ger
mar victories over the British
are no longer extraordinary
happenings as the British have
been beaten almost every day
since the famous big push" on
the Somme started, the grand
offensive" that was supposed to
drive the Germans from France
and Belgium and bring the
British to the Rhine.
If it would not have been
for the splendid press agents OF
the British Government in the
United States we probably
would not know anything about
this latest defeat OF the British
on the Ancre, north Of the SOM
me, but since the pro-British
editors have heralded the taxi
ing of a few little villages by
the British as the beginning Of
a new and glorious drive to-
wards the Rhine, everybody ex-
cept those who refuse to be fool
ed by the pro-British press, ex-
pected further great victories
Of the British. AS usually,
they never came, and one can
readily imagine the Joy Of our
pro-British editors when they
heard Of the fall of Monastir.
London had sounded the
keynote, and, like good fiddlers,
the pro-British editors took their
dusty fddles, trumpets and
trombones from the shelves and
fell in line. 1t was great con-
cert, although it was rather
noisy, for there was much to be
covered by the noise. Above
all things it was necessary to
drown the sound of a few Ger
man instruments that were not
as loud and shrieky as the in
struments of the Allies, and it
was almost impossible to hear
them although they brought
out the best tones.
1t is quite natural that the
pro-British editors should have
succeeded in drowning the voice
that was telling of German vic
tories, and the American public
will be very much surprised to
hear in the next few days, that
the troops Of General Won Fall
kenhayn have entered the plain
of Wallachia, the heart of Ru-
mania. The time is now ripe
where a good pro-British editor
should prepare a few sob stories
for poor little Rntnanla, for that
country Is about to receive the
punishment that it justly de-
serves. The harder the punish
ment the more freely the tears
of our pro-British editors will
flow.
It was said yesterday that Ru-
mania is to be considered
the crux Of the war. In Ruma,
MIA, and not on the Macedonian
front the decision will be reach.

German victory, a decisive vic
tory, and all the shouting and
all the editorial tributes paid
by the pro-British editors to the
gallant Servians and the victor.
