OF future military operations. All
strategic points in Bulgaria, will be

This, the result of the brief con-

delegates and the allied command
at Saloniki is not yet an ac-

cleared for a rapid development OF
the advantage gained by the sensa-

Germany is hearing the rumbling OF
the mighty storm that has broken
over the western battle line Grim
tidings from the front, kept secret
from the German people for the past
two months, now are freely dis
cussed by the newspapers and a
great wave OF what closely resembles
hysteria is reported to be sweeping
over that country.
On the six sectors, where allied
forces are hurling themselves at the
German lines in Belgium and
France. the past day has brought re-
newed reverses for the enemy.
There has been desperate fighting
at every point where the German
lines have been assailed, but not
withstanding his utmost efforts. the
enemy has been forced back in Sec
tors where allied gains carry threat
to his positions over wide front.
The most rapid advance has been
in Belgium. There, the Germans
have been beaten back until the
troops OF King Albert are across
the important Roulers- Menin road
at many points. 1t is unofficially
reported that Roulers has been en-
tered by the Belgians.

that achieved by the other groups.
His army attacked along the Neslc

Once the Lys is crossed, General

On the extreme right, General
