!, SO" the Vardar Valley route

Lcsed of all sorts Of troops. some very good
and some very poor. The best troops are the
Serbs French and British. There has been
considerable enlistment of Greeks belong
irg to the Venizelos faction, but how good
they may prove is entirely problematical.
There are also some Italian and Russian
troops, but their numbers are probably
rot large. Roughly speaking, this army
stands in a wide semicircle from Valona
to the Gulf of Orfano, into which the
Struma River enters. The portion of the
force in Albania is Italian and has its
base at Valona The rest of the army
has its base at Salonica. The Monastir
wing is supplied by the Salonica-Monastir
Railroad. The portion due north OF Sa-
lonica is supplied by the railroad going
north up the Vardar from Salonica to
Nish and Belgrade, while the balance of
the army is mainly supplied by the Sa-
lonica -Constantinople Railroad, which goes
north as far as Lake Dorian and then
turns due east and crosses the Struma
River not far from Sores. For more than
two years the Allies have been supple
menting these railroads with highways, and
that portion Of the occupied territory near
Salonca probably constitutes one Of the
strongest positions in Europe. But owing
to the nature of the country, which is
very mountainous, the portions Of the
front between the various railroads are
hard to maintain and difficult to munition.
Actually there are only few possible
routes for northern push by the Sarrail
army and, conversely, for southwark push
by the armies Of the Central Powers.
There is trail through the wilderness Of
Albania, west Of Lakes Presba and Och
rida, which follows the Drin River and
enters Serbia near Prisrend. This is total
ly untitled for any military operations
On a large scale. From Monastir good
railroad runs over the Babuna Pass 10
Kuprili Tor veles), where it joins the Sa-
lonica- Belgrade Railroad Along this road

means the ultimate exhaustion of the man
power of a country which before her en-
trance into the present war lost terribly
in two dreadful Balkan wars.
There has been a general realization IN
Allied quarters that the situation as lar
as Bulgaria is concerned was simple. Bull
garia was bought by money when she en-
tered the war, but the policy of her ruler
was supported by the sentiment of the
country because the two Balkan wars had
deprived Bulgaria of considerable territory
inhabited by Bulgars and conquered by
Bulgarian armies.
When Ferdinand of Bulgaria made his
alliance with the Central Powers he prac-
tically turned his country over to the Ger
mans, and German officers now dominate
the Bulgarian military establishment and
exercise a great influence upon Bulgarian
DOllCleS. GTdnleu tlldt tHe NSiHo""
were compelled by the pressure upon the
ether fronts to withdraw the Austro-Ger-
man troops from Macedonia, the Allies
believe that Bulgaria would very quickly
tire of fighting the Salonica army single
handed; but unless the German and Aus
trian divisions have been withdrawn now
it is quite unlikely that the present cam
paign means anything but an Incidental
pressure upon another front.
Italy Cannot Stir
We are seeing day by day the consider
able cost to the Allies of Russia's collapse.
A year ago the Allied operations against
the Central Powers were opened in June
by Brusiloff's great offensive in Galicia,
continued in July by the Anglo-French at
tack at the Somme; extended in August by
the Italian attack upon Gorilla. and finally

Constantinople Railroad, would only cut
one Of the several avenues by which Ger
man troops, German munitions and Ger
man guns can reach Turkey and Bulgaria,
and would therefore serve only limited
end
1t seems, therefore, unlikely that the
present operation in the Balkans has any
such ambitious purpose or any such large
possibility as that of 1916 or of 1915.
Nor should it be forgotten that the sub
marine warfare has very greatly handi-
capped the Salonica army. because this
army must draw its supplies by water,
and the steady diminution of the tonnage
of the Allied Powers, due to the subma-
rine warfare, continues to make it more
and more difficult to maintain this army
in Macedonia and would seem almost to
prohibit an extensive and major opera
ton because this would make such heavy
demand upon transports.
Aim to Hold Teuton Troops
So far as one can judge now, Allied
strategy in the later operations in Mace
donia has for its object primarily the re-
tanning of German and Austrian troops In
this region in order to prevent the trans
ference Of German divisions from Mace
donia to the Western front, where the
drain upon German man-power is very
great. Further than this, there is un-
questionably an Allied desire to maintain
pressure upon Bulgaria, where there is
party distinctly hostile to the Turco-Teu-
tonic alliance. The war is growing I'M
popular in Bulgaria. Bulgaria has little
to gain by continuation Of the war, II
she can keep what she now possesses. Inc
war is a constant drain of electives, which

reached their climax when Rumanla en-
tered the war and Sarrail started his often
sive northward and took Monastir. Ger
many and her allies did succeed in stopping
this joint offensive, but only at terrific cost,
and there is every reason to believe tina.
similar attack now would be beyond the
resources of the Central Powers to stem.
But Russia is out of the war for the time,
end no man can say whether it will be for
the whole war or only for the campaign
of 1917. Italy has not stirred and is
unlikely to stir, because the elimination
of Russia makes it entirely probable that
the Central Powers will presently use the
troops from the Eastern front for new
drive upon the Trentino. The loss OF
Venetia is an inevitable consequence Of a
successful Teutonic drive southwark out OF
the Trentino, and against such possibility
italy must always stand on guard.
Sarrail's Difficulties
In the same way Sarrail, in Macedonia,
always has to face the possibility OF the
transference of considerable masses OF
German and Austrian troops from the
Eastern front and a converging attack
southwark from the country north Of Mon
sstir. from the Vardar Valley, from the
Struma Valley and westward along the
railroad which runs from Adrianople to
Salonica.
Last summer Germany faced con-
centric attack which almost put Austria
out Of the war. This year the elimination
Of Russia has not only given Germany
security on her Eastern front and given
Austria new confidence by banishlng the
fear of another Brusiloff drive; but 1t has
also reduced very greatly the possibilities
of any Macedonia offensive whatever.
How large an army Sarrail has is mat
ter of conjecture, but am satisfied that
the figures published year ago were very
much exaggerated, and / think his army Is
nearer $4,000 than 100000. 1t is COM
