this arena undoubtedly is certain with

to the swiftest will fall the greatest
proportion of immediate glories. for
with such reinforcements as Germany,
Austria Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey
are sure to rush into the fray, the
belligerent armies will be of similar
strength.
While the Bulgarians and Germans
are declared to have captured in the
neighborhood of 10000 square kilo-

Austrians admit retirement to the

regions of Gyergyo and Olah Toplitza.
Vienna reports the transfer of Gen.

gion. which is tantamount to custer
for failure to hold the enemy. On the

front the Germans have reinforced the

have been slower to progress in this
section than previously-in fact, Vienna
records the repulse Of Rumanian forces
At one point.
The Dobrudja situation offers much
ground for speculation in view of the
conflicting reports which have emanat-
ed from Bucharest, Sofia and Berlin.
Unquestionably Field Marshal Won
Mackensen, who is accredited with the
leadership in this section, has scored
noteworthy successes in that territory,
wrested from Bulgaria during the latest
Balkan war. Silistria. which is on the
southern banks Of the Danube, has been
captured, as has Tutrakan. The seizure
of these two fortified points gives the
Bulgars and Germans good bases for
future operations. 1t would appear
however, that but little progress has
been scored by Won Mackensen nearer
the Black sea coast. Russians are de-
clared to have retaken the Dobric from
tho enemy.

will result naturally from the realiza-
tion of the first two. And even the
conquest of Bulgaria and the cutting
of the railroad are subordinate to the
main purpose. which is opening the
straits.
Able to Squeeze Bulgaria.
Until Rumania entered the war the
allied situation was unpromising, be-
cause the allies were able to operate
on only one front-that in Macedonia
above Saloniki. Here their superiority
in numbers and guns was neutralized
by the narrowness of the front and
the extreme difficulty of the country.
due to it's mountainous character,
which gave the Bulgarians great ad :
vantage and enabled them, reinforced
by few Austrian and German brigades.
to hold back great numbersswith little
real difficulty. At all times there had
been grave doubt in the minds of mill
tary observers to whether the
saloniki army could force the valley
of the Vardar and get back into the
valley of the Morava in Serbia.
But once Rumania came in the allies
obtained a new and wide front on
which to attack Bulgaria. and Russian
armies to make the attack.
Demands Two New Armies.
The Bulgarians are now between two
millstones. between the French. British.
Italian. Russian and Serb troops op-
Grating from Saloniki and the Russian
and Rumanian troops operating in the
Dobrudja and along the Danube.
Hitherto the whole Bulgarian army has
been able to cover Saloniki; hence
forth it must be divided, unless Ger
many, Austria and Turkey can furnish
troops to defend northern Bulgaria. In
word, the new situation in the Bal
kans has made a demand for a new
Austro-German army of very consider
able size at the precise moment when
the invasion of Transylyania has pro
duced similar demand, this time from
Budapest and not from Sofia. These
demands coincide with other demands;
they coincide with the need for fresh
troops to defend Lemberg against the
steadily advancing Russian armies and
the claim on German reserves to re-
place the heavy losses that are being
occasioned by the Anglo-r'rench attack
on the Somme. Finally, the Italian op
erations about Gorilla are calling for
greater and greater attention from
Austria
Now. it is interesting to note that
this situation is emphasized in recent
rumors that come from Berlin. Falken-
hayn, says one report, recognized the
Balkan situation, believed that the con-
verging attack upon Bulgaria would

point lies far south of the purported
Bulgar-German battle line in Dobrudta-
Unless the German claims of having
completely overrun Dobrudja are In
accurate, and the Russians have been
able to push their way down the Black
sea coast. 1t is plainly evident that the
Slavs have been able to land troops
from transports under the fire Of their
Black sea feet. In this case. If these
forces are of consequence, the Bulgar-
ian and Germanic line lies between two
Russian armies in that section nearest
the Black sea. Retirement toward the
west would be absolutely necessary
II these forces are to escape both front
and rear attacks from the enemy.
II II more reasonable to believe, how
ever. that Won Mackensen never would
allow his forces to get in such trap
and that the Germans and 'Bulgarians
are chiefly operating toward the Danube

operations in this section they offer a
