DARKEST HOUR
 OF 'IIIi; IIIIIl, WAR
 FOR GERMANY
Losing EveryWlere-Touton Front Is Bending Back Under Allies Mighty B.Ows-Austria Is In
 Dango1.

London, Sent. 30.-Buigaria is de- finitely out of the war, and Turkey, virtually cut off from communication with her allies and her fssmies in Pal estine almost annihilated, it is likely, soon to be forced to sue for a cessa- 1 tion of hostilities against aer. The entente. allied forces from Bel gium to Verdun on six battle fronts are registering victory a-ter. victory over the Teutonie armies, and the en- emy front almost everywhere is crum- bling, despite desperate resistance Seeing eventual defeat through the 1 swift progress Of the Serbian, 1tal- 1 ian, British, Greek and French troops in the reclsiming of Serbia and the invasion of Bulgarian territory, the Bulgarians begged tor an armistice, reserving no conditions. All tine ter ritory now held by Bulgaria is to be evacuated; the Bulgarian army IS to be immediately demobilized and ali means O. transport inside the king dom even along the Danube, is to be given over into allied hands. Austria in Grave Danger. l In addition to the isolation of Tur- key, the back door to a direct in , vasion of Austria-Hungary is flung wide open to the allies. With the j collapse in Serbia and Bulgaria com plete, the Austro-Hungarians in AL bania soon will be put to the test, and when their evacuation to their borders is accomplished, the allies will have welded an iron semicircle about the central powers from the Black sea to the North sea.
 The success of the great offensive in Belgium and France; the plotting out of the war zone in the Balkans; the cutting off of the Turks from Germany and Austria-Hungary, ex- cept by the long route through the Caucasus and southern Russia and the steady gains thGt are being made by the allies in making Russia once more a factor in the struggle, the darkest days of the war seemingly are faced by the Austro- Germans.

AN ANCIENT WAR

A speech made to the people of
Rome by Lucius lEmilius Paulus, a
Roman consul. who had been selected
to conduct the war with the Macedon-
ians, b. c. los, can with profit be
read by the people of the United
States today. He said:
an every circle, and, truly, at every
table, there are people who lead
armies into Macedonia; who know
where the camp ought to be placed;
what posts ought to be occupied by
troops; when and thru what pass
Macedonia should be entered; where
magazines should be formed; how
provisions should be conveyed by
land and sea; and when it is proper
to engage the enemy, when to lie
quiet And they not only determine
what is best to be DONE but if any
thing is done in any other manner
than what they have pointed out, they
arraign the consul, as II he were on
his trial. These are great impede
ments to those who have the man.
agement Of affairs; for everyone can
not encounter injurious reports with
the same constancy and firmness of
mind as Fabius did, who chose to let
his own authority be diminished thru
the folly of the people. rather than to
fnlSmhnaRe the puollC ouSiheSS Win u
high reputation. | am not one of
those who think that commanders
ought never to receive advice; on the
contrary, l should deem that man
more proud than wise who did every
thing of his own single Judgment.
What then is my opinion? That COM
manders should be counseled, chiefly,
by person of known talent; by those,
especially, who are skilled in the art
of war, and who have been taught by
experience; and next, by those who
are present at the scene of action,
who see the country, who see the enc
my; who see the advantages that &C.
casions offer, and who, embarked, as
it were, in the same ship, are sharers
of the danger. If, therefore, anyone
thinks himself qualified to give advice
respecting the war which l am to
conduct which may prove advanta-
geous to the public, let him not re-
fuse his assistance TO the state, but
let him come with me into Macedonia.
He shall be furnished by me with n
ship, horse, tent; and even with
his travelling charges. But il he
thinks this too much trouble, and pre-
fers the repose Of city life to the
tolls Of war, let him not, on land, as
sumo the Office Of a pilot. "-Livy,
