numerous roads radiating from it TO
the French cavalry; in the center
the Serbians have pushed their
wedge further in between the enemy
western and eastern armies, while
on the extreme eastern flank the
British and Greeks have advanced
over a front OF 20 miles Nowhere
are the Entente commanders permit
ting the Bulgarians TO lose contact
with the advancing troops who are
harassing them vigorously.
So badly has the hundred mile
line been penetrated or battered
that immediate dire calamity ap-
parently faces the enemy unless the
retreat is greatly fastened or the
enemy is feet enough of foot to out

such a manoeuVer is possible doubt
less it will be necessary for the en-

Tha. the allied tanks are moving
swiftly to prevent the separated armies
from joining up is indicated in the cap
ture of Prlepa and the advance of the
British TO the north of Lake Doiran.
These maneuvers point to an attempt
at rolling-up movements of great pro-

Hard fighting is in progress in SAlency,
a scant two miles from the western
outskirts of st. Quentin. Around Epehy
and further nores o. the Cambrai sector
the Hindenburg lire has been battered.
In Flanders the British have recaptured
a portion OF the trench system south of
Ypres.
That the Germans even though the
weather conditions preclude infantry ac-
tivity are fearful that the Americans
anticipate a further attack, is indicated
by their almost continuous bOmGardmenr
OF the American positions with heavy
guns along the Lorraine front
