FIGHT IN BALKANS
RASTENS WARS END
Capture of Nish by Serblans
Will Mean Command of Ber-

TWO MAY SEEK PEACE
Copyright. 1850
BY HERBERT COREY.

WITH THE SERBIAN ARMY IN
THE BALKANS, October 1S.-Thls is
no attempt on my part to become
minor prophet 1t is merely an effort
to show what may happen in the Bal
kans this winter, and why it may hap
pen. 1t is also an explanation of what
ill-informed critics in Europe ana
America have called the delays of the
Salonki expedition.
The capture of Monastir and Prilip
by the Serbian army means the next
move will be on Uskub.
The British forces may break through
the Bulgar-German resistance on the
Struma- The final objective of the two
forces is Nish.
Nish recaptured means Serbia re-
gained, and the Serbian army is break
Ing its heart to that end. If the allied
forces go through the topogra phlcal
and man-power defenses on to what
may be called the Serbian plain, the
Observation-Disclosures railway is I'M
mediately endangered.
If that line is cut both Bulgaria and
Turkey are isolated from their allies
of the central powers. Tremendous
Importance is attached to this fact
here, although ii has seemed to me
that Paris and London have always
regarded the Saloniki expedition a
political venture rather than a serious
blow at the enemy.
Here it is believed that Turkey and
Bulgaria would Immediately sue for
peace il this is accomplished. With
Germany debarred from drawing fresh
supplies from her eastern allies, and
with the road to and from Russia
open to the allies for corn and NUM-
tions, the end of the war would seem
at last definitely in sight.

bian and French and English forces
would then strike across the Hungarian
plains, in conjunction with one of the
Russian armies. The position of Aus

Active Winter in Balkans.

All this would seem to indicate a tre-
mendously dramatic and active winter
in the Balkans. This is not necessarily
true. The two gates through which
Serbia can best be entered-the Mo-
gene range and on the StruTEa-may
be held by the Bulgars until the ad-
vance of winter renders further opera
tions inadyisable This may come in a
few weeks on the Serbian front. The
small Serbian army was compliment ed
by Gen. Sarrail by being given the
stifest sector on the allied front. The
craggy peaks and precipitous gorges of
the Moglene range can best be COM
Italian-Austrian front. The first con-
siderable fall of snow will make it inn
possible to stir foot.
This is not the case on the British
front on the Struma, nor is 1t the case
to the same extent on the sectors held
by the French, the Russian or the Ital-
ian troops. 1t is considered very doubt
full. however. If a really important ad-
vance can be made during the winter,
because of the difficulties of transport.
1t may be assumed that the fighting
will be of the most desperate character
possible until ice bars the door to Ser
bia- The capture of Monastir before
snow stops the roads means the ad-
vance of the allies will not be checked
during the winter unless
The Bulgar-Germans are fighting
officer. They are relying on winter
to help them out. If we make con-
siderable advance l fully believe the
repeated stories that Germany will
shorten her western front in order to
detach a large force for the Balkans
under Mackensen will prove true"
"A break through" into Serbia by the
allies at any point, then. means that
the fighting will in all probability be
hard and continuous. 1t may well be
that neither side can make great prog
ress. because of natural conditions; but
once the allies are across the Moglene
range into Serbia it becomes desper-
ate1y essential to both sides to hold
every foot OF ground. On the other
hand. failure to break through Will
in all likelihood point to another win
ter of preparation, iT. order that op-
erations may begin at the earliest pos
sible moment in the spring.

slowness with which the Saloniki ex-
] say apparent" slowness. AS matter
of fact ] believe this expedition will
one day be shown 10 be one of the great
feats of the war. Gen. Sarrajl has ac-
eomplished miracles of organization
and replacement and has cornbated
difficulties of which the outside world
has been permitted to know nothing. In
minor way he has gone through the
same work of preparation that the
British army did in the west. Every
thing had to be made ready before any
thing could be done.

BRITISH BLOCKADE
NET MADE TIGHTER
All Ships Violating Rules Sub

Order Declares

LONDON. March 31.-The British

order i'm Council issued last night, which

that she Mt the moment is on her way TO

The order sets forth that. subject to
certain notifications and omissions, the
Government has put in force the Declara-
tion of London respecting the capture OF
merchant craft during the war.
Certain doubts however. have arisen
concerning the right to effect "the capture
of conditional contraband on board
vessel bound to n neutral port" and these
doubts ii is declared "eXpedient TO put
an end to-" Hence it has been decided
no longer to adopt article 10 of the Dec
laration. which provides that whatever
may be the ultimate destination of a vessel
or of her cargo she cannot be captured
for breach of blockade If at the moment
ass '3 on her way to a nonblockaded
port"
1t is therefore ordered that the pro-
visions of the Declaration of London
shall not be deemed to limit, or to have
limited, in any way the right of his
Majesty, in accordance with the law of
nations to capture goods upon the ground
that they are conditional contraband, nor
to affect, or to have affected, the lia-
bility of conditional contraband to cap.
ture, e,whether the carriage of the goods to
their destination be direct or entail trans

This provision Is made applicable also
to absolute contraband.
Another clause says that enemy desti-
nation may be presumed to exist IL the
goods are consigned to a person who
during the present hostilitles has forward
ed imported contraband goods to terri
tories belonging to or occupied by the
enemy"
