Since the collapse of Rumania last
year the situation in the Balkans has
been unusually quiet. The offensive Of
Sarrairs army, which was designed to
aid the Rumanians, failed utterly in its
larger purpose, and the capture Of
Monastir proved to be its sole success.
Nor was this success even locally Of
great value, because the Bulgarians and
their Teutonic allies continued and con-
tfnue to hold the heights to the north
ward which dominate the town. The
death of Field Marshal Viscount
French's sister, as a result of shell fire
during the winter. and also the death
OF the head of section of the Ameri-
can ambulance were minor Indications
Of the perilous condition of Monastir in
allied hands.
A number of times during the winter
there have been rumors Of an attack by
the central powers. and 1t has been an
open secret at all times that the allied
hold on the Macedonian town was of
the slightest, and that an allied evacu-
alton of it has been several times ex-
pected.

Russian Situation
to Remain Uncertain.

Until It is absolutely certain that the new
coalition government will work harmoni-
ously the Russian situation will continue
uncertain. 1t is believed, however. that
the loan of 500 200. 900 extended to Rus
sia by the United States will go far to-
ward convincing the Russian peoples that
their future course must be along paths

Aim to Hold Teuton Troops.

So far as one can judge now. Allied
strategy in the later operations in
Macedonia has for its object primarily
the retaining of German and Austrian
troops in this region in order to pre-
vent the transference of German di-
visions from Macedonia to the western
front, where the drain upon German
man-power is very great. Further than
this, there is unquestionably an allied
desire to maintain pressure from Bull
garia, where there Is party distinctly
hostile to the Turco-Teutonic alliance.
The war is growing unpopular in Bull
garia. Bulgaria has little to gain by
continuation of the war, If she can
keep what she now possesses. The
war is a constant drain of electives,
which means the ultimate exhaustion
of the man-power of country which
before her entrance into the present
war lost terribly in two dreadful Bal
kan wars.
There has been a general realization
In allied quarters that the situation as
far as Bulgaria Is concerned was sim
pie. Bulgaria was bought by money
when she entered the war. but the pol
icy of her ruler was supported by the
sentiment of the country because the
two Balkan wars had deprived Bulga-
ria of considerable territory inhabited
by Bulgars and conquered by Bulgarian
armies.
When Ferdinand of Bulgaria made his
alliance with the central powers he
practically turned his country over to
the Germans. and German officers now
dominate the Bulgarian military estab-
lishment and exercise a great influence
upon Bulgarian policies. Granted that

Veerhof galleries. Mrs. Lum is an
American, but she has spent many
years in Japan, and it was during her
residence there that she studied and
became proficient in the art Of wood
block printing. The majority Of her
prints are of Japanese themes, but they
are done in a manner which is by no
means initiative. Mrs. Lum has sue
ceeded in securing delicate effects by
this process which are very engaging.
