NEW YORK. Oct. 22-Turkey's
departure from the war and from
the German alliance is expected to
be hastened by the latest develop
ments on the Balkan battle fr.nt
The French have reached the an
ube river. cutting another line OF
communication between The central
empires and Constantinople.
Mhen the Serbians reached Nish
they severed the Orient railway, the
only direcI line of railroad COM
munication between Germany ami
ConsIantinople. but the water way
line OF communication, via the Dan
ube and the Black sea, renamed
open. Now that line is .c-osed, au1
the only way that Germany can com q.
municaIe with her Oriental ally is
through Russia and the Black sea, a
long, .ortuous and difficult line.
The French war office announced
that the danube mad been reached in

whole OF northern Serbia.
The allies, so far as known, have
not attempted any operations against

but are now in an excellent position
to do so. They have free use e.
the Orient railway in southern Bull
garia, and are at liberty to use

BRITISH HOUSE HOSTILE

LONDON, Oct 22.-The majority Of
the members Of the House of Com
mons are hostile to Germany's reply,
regard ng II as an attempt to split
the allies.
Solf's armistice plan is not suffici-
ent they declare. The constitutional
changes referred-to, they point out,
are contained in a bill which has not
been passed by the Reichstag. A few
Laborites and Radicals regard the
note as a great advance from previous
German notes.

Over the teacups they are telling
