fighting the Germans, Austrians'
and Bulgars had pushed down into
Creek Macedonia oyerrunning all of
Servia and Montnegro and nearly
all of Albania
The fan Of 1915 was marked al
So by two Important Allied cam
paigns in Turkey, one of which
has con tinned under, way ever
since. The Russ slams, having suffer-
ed defeat on their western front,
turned their sttention to Turkey
and the Grand Duke Nicholas was
sent into the Caucasus to direct
the operations. Turkish Armenia
and Persia were invaded, while
British forces were landed in Mes.
opotania from the Persian Gulf.
The object was for both of tHese
armies to join hands, but the Rus
sian drive collapsed with the revo-
luton in March, 1915. The British
although beaten at times continued
their campaign, eventually advanc-
ing beyond Bagdad and extending
their lines about 400 miles inland
lfrom the Persian Gulf This stic-
cess has put an end to the Pan
Germans dream of an uninterrupt-
ed commercial route from Hans
burg to the Persian Gulf. via the
Orient and Bagdad railways.
During the early part of the win
ter of 1916 Germany had been col
lecting huge armies and enormous
masses of artillery north of Yer
dun. On February 21, 1916. the
igreat Verdun offensive opened with
the German Crown Prince suppos-
|edly in command OF the Teutonic
forces. After six months of fight
ing the Germans were held and
eventually were thrown back from
the ground they had won astride
the Mouse at frightful cost of
blood.
In the meanwhile, Italy had en-.
tered the struggle, declaring war
against Austria on May .23, 1915
General Cadorna's armies had been
gaining steadily all along the
line, and it began to look as
though they would break through
the whole Austrian front and take
Trieste. II was year before Aus
tria could get any first-class often
sive operations under way. The
first drive was made in Trentino,
but it fell fat
Three allied -ofhensives were un-
der way in the sutTmer of 1915:
d. BY the British in Artois
(northern France)
2. BY. the Russians in Galicia.
3. By the Italians on the Is5nzo
front (near Gorizia).
RuImania was caught in the vor-
tex of the war In August. 1916. She
began with a triumphant invasion
of Pennsylvania (Hungary) but the
drive was short lived. A great force
