Effort VIII Prove Useless.

Questions OF effectives, materials
lines OF communications, marching
Gctics, supplies and occupation. the
staff will settle all these, OF that we
ere certain. But let us take a look az
the scene of operations. We can
presume that the battle will continue
H. few weeks between the allied
armies and the Austro German on the
lskob Sofia front But while this
battle will be given under conditions
OF offensive or defensive which We
think will be favorab BILE TO the allies.
the latter can, without difficulty. en-
Ter the Bulgarian front on the south,
firstly occupying the coast from Ka-
valla TO Deagatch. and then march to :
ward Phliptopoli and Adrianople with
4 view to Occupying the great Sofia
Constantinople Railroad. Turkey
will thus be separated from the cen
tisl empires. The allies can then
with kavalla and Adrianople as a
base, prepare for the attack OF Con
s'aniipople or for the entry into Con-
stantinople If Turkey capimlates be-
tcrehand.
We have no intention OF criticizing
the plans OF the allied staff. as il
alone IS The judge of its means of ac-
lion, its possibilities. and the strength
0. the opposing forces. but the man in :
dicates to all who have good eyes and
little judgment the essential oh
iectives.
For possible offensive against Aus
ma acroSs Serbia. even with the help
OF Rumania. the allies must hold
Sofia, Nish and the Danube. The IN
lure demands this. For the immedi-
ate realization OF the effects of The
bulgarian armistice one must occupy
without delay the railroad cust
which will be behind defensive bar
rage on the Uskub- Sofia front, and
demand that Turkey lay down her
arms, and force her TO do so rapidly
ms is possible in a very short time
All OF the German effort. il il is
made, will prove useless. II will be
even more useless IL there is no mors
Turkey than Bulgaria.
In the meanwhile Cambrai and st
Quentin have been set on fire by the
Germans. When will the allied Gov
ernment declare that for every French
ind Belgian town destroyed. a German
town will pay the ransom for fts. re :
