PARIS, Sept 0-Paris is well satils-
fled in summing up the salient features
OF the allied situation. In French
opinion the outstanding feature of the
Bulgarian and Turkish defeats is the
resounding blow which they have struck
at German infantry and prestige
throughout Ne whole eastern world
The allied victory in Palestine is a
fatal blow for Eiman Won Sanders, the
military counselor imposed by Berlin
on Constantipoplc a few years ago al
the height OF German domination in
prc-war Turkey II was Sanders who
dictated the whole Turkish military
policy both before and since the war
began and it is Sanders and his willing
tools Enver PaSha and the young Turk
party whose fortune is indrsolubly
bound up with Germany who were re-
spon,ible for the present staggering de-
featS OF the armies Of the Porte. In
the same way the German Commander
Won Stcubcn at Uskub must bear the
whole burden OF defeat inflicted on the
Bulgarian armies he has led into such
crushing disaster Sanders and Stcubcn
are LudcndoriI's agents, respectively IN
Turkey ard Bulgaria. Their uncnyiablc
