Rome. oct. 2.
The attitude of the Chamber and
political circles here regarding Bull
garia's step is one of reasoned but
benevolent suspicion says the Giornal
d'Italia's expert on the Near East:
I'VE must be on our guard, keeping
our eyes wide open today and tomor-
row ever more than yesterday
Itafans generally claim that they,
from the fac; that they are nearer
n%eighbors and also because since the
DAYS of the Venetian Republic they
have been always much in contact with
semi Orienta ways of thought and
diplomacy, understand the %tortuous
point of view and the astuteness of the
Bulgarians. and still more of their Car,
better thar the northern politicians who
are unable tho bring themselves TO be-
lieve in disloyalty and systematic
double dealing.
While declining TO commit himself to
a definite opinion as to the scope and
extent Of the results likely to follow from
Bulgaria's move, an expert held Two
things TO be certain. However much the
German Government foresaw trouble in
Bulgaria, IL never expected such a
painfully surprising disaster. And how
ever necessary 1t is to beware of ex-
pecting too much, the easy cap~itulation
of Bulgaria at least proves the unex-
pectedly serious state Of the enemy.
He considers that the diplomatists of
the Entente will be justified !. taking
hrm. calm. unyielding position, and
seeing to II that Bulgaria pays the price
for her years of traitorous diplomacy
and unprincipled, grasping policy.

the war alone and could concentrate all
her forces on the west front, but the
Entente would also have considerable
forces free. : The paper points u that
the Entente moral and political position
must not be forgotten. II argues that
Germany would either be obliged TO fight
alone for an uncertain end or accept a
peace of c~apitulation from Entente
hands.
The situation can be saved" the
paper concludes, but only with radical
means. Should we succeed in re-estab-
fishing the Balkan position. then we
take the Entente's biggest political
trump. Won Hintze has now TO SHOW
whether he can carry us through this
serious crisis. He must act immedi-
ately.",
Reventlow lays the blame on Kuehl-
mann and his policy. who, he says, is
responsible for the fall OF Radoslawoff
and his cabinet. "Radoslawoff brought
Bulgaria into the war on the side of the
Central Powers. Moreover, he was con-
WINGED that Bulgaria's interests lay with
the Central Powers. n this was the
basis of the Bulgarian alliance"
From Sundays Berlin papers Il is OBJ
vious that, while realizing the serious
ness of the situation. II Bulgaria broke
away. there were still hopes that the
tide would turn. Great stress was laid
on the fact that German troops had
already arrived in Sofia. where, accord
ing to n telegram from Sofia via Berlin,
the troops were greeted with enthusiasm
The same telegram reports that the at
titude of King Ferdinand is correct"

with the French Army, Oct. :.
The new attack. which began at five
o'clock Monday evening, brought the
right of General Rawlinson's army into
Levergies and enabled General Debeney
TO cross the Cambria road east of Girl
court.
West OF st. Quentin the German
trenches were very strongly held, and no
ground could be won. Farther south
the front was slightly advanced beyond
the roads from Gissecourt to Urcillers,
and thence to vendeuil on the Disc.
The army of General Mangin Is stead
lily clearing the south bank of the
Ailette as far east as the canal reser-
voirs whence it's front runs southeast by
Ostel to the Aisne. Here a body OF
Italian troops has captured the village
of Soupir.
The recovery of the Aisne heights Is
thus proceeding by regular stages. but 1t
Is to be noted that this time the enemy's
retreat is taking a northeasterly, not
a %northerly, direction. and that to pro-
tect this movement. the hill block be-
tween Rheims and me Aisne is being
vigorously defended.
reported yesterday how General
Berthelot, striking out suddenly from
the Vesle, had at once got his left on
top Of the plateau from Revillon to Ro-
main. This part of the line has now
been pushed further, where it Is strongly
opposed.

II would not be discreet TO enter upon
any full discussion OF these possibilities,
but a glance at the map Will show that.

respectively, and that the shortest line
from Roulers in Belgium to vilosnes
passes far behind st. Quentin and the
Ailette.
The capture Of Blnarville and Condo,
In the Aisne valley on his right, and of
Marvaux. on his center. has greatly
strengthened Gouraud's front. and the
German forces northwest of Rheims may
soon find Themselves in a salient diff
cult to hold.
French Drive Foe From Ridges
The French army under General
Berthelet on Monday morning attacked
from the Nesle nurthward on a six-mile
front between Baslieux. on the north
bank of the river, and Jonchery. on the
south. They were here In face of n diff
cult task. for the hills and ravines be-
tween the Nesle and the Aisne afford
the enemy excellent cover.
on the left was only one long ridge
10 surmount. and the crest was reached
in the course of the morning. a mile
north Of the villages of Roman and
lie Grand Hameau. or the right there
were three successive ridges. the first
of which was carried. near Montigny. 1t
may be supposed that the chief object of
this attack is to place General Berthe
lots army in an advantageous position
for a rapid pursuit when. as may hap
pen at any moment to Markowitz and
Won Mudraz, the abandonment of their
present position on either side of the
Aisne proves to he inevitable.
This operation increases to about 10
miles the frontage of the Allied often
sive. The capture, Sunday. by Deben-
ey's left southeast of st. Quentin, of the
villages of Urvillers and Cerizy. with the
ridge between them. puts the Germans
on the west bank of the Disc from Ven
dull to Berthenicourt in a very uncom-
Portable position, with the valley behind
them flooded to a width of a more than
a mile and all their communications
under fire. 1t would seem that hey

The Hague. Oct. l.
The Vosslsche Zeitung of Berlin points
out that the Central Empires ave been
drawn into a serious situation through
Bulgaria's demand for an armistice and
that 1t is useless to pretend that events
can change 1t. The paper points out
that Germany's existence is at stake and
she must act Immediately and without
hesitation.
If Bulgaria accepts a separate peace,
then Turkey will surely capitulate, as
she would then be cut off from Ger
many, and a victorious Entente army
would soon be in C~onstantinople. The
effect Of this on Rumania IS clear, so
that the Balkan States would then he
mobilized against Austria-Hungary.
The paper assume that the capitula-
tion of Austria-Hungary must be reck-
oned with in this e~ventuality. 1t points
out hat Burian's loyal declaration is
welcome, but may soon become merely
platonic by the weight of events.

But It is at points where the hochcs
have orders TO hold out to the end that
the battle genius of the Allied general
issimo n his concern for the lives Of
his men are most eloquent. Foch has
printed incffaceably on the minds Of his
subordinates the rule that maueuvcr is
the surost road to success where direct
attacks are costly and unproduCtivc.
Local commanders have been trained to
recognize the kCypoint Of the flank that

Then they take measures accordingly,
and tho result is victory. Thus Gouraud's
attack against the important heights
south Of Challcrangc was hampcrcd by
CALLING fire from Echcllc wood on the
flank. Immediately the movement vas
suspended while a storm Of high cX-
plosivcs was poured on the wood. Half
an hour later the infantry rushed the

and not till then. the main advance was
successfully resumed.
