 "All lines of retreat must be ac- curately ascertained by all companies and whenever possible all platoon commanders should go back over them as soon as possible to the first line. Soldiers also should acquaint themselves with the names of the lines of retirement"

Balkans will be free to operate in a general offensive. via Serbia. agalnSt Hungary. @
 In the Balkans at this time there are more than 75O,0OO Allied soldiers divided approximately as follows:
 Italians. in Albania, 300,0C0; Ser bfans. on the Macedonian front, 75,- GOO; French, 1S0, 600; British, 180,OOO, and Greeks, 2O0,090 In addition to these are the British forces in Egypt the Holy Land and. Mesopotamla' l General Allenby sent some of his forces to the west front last spring, when it appeared the Germans woulc break through.
 In the opinion of military experts the suddenness of Bulgaria's uncondl- tional surrender is the clearest possl- ble indication of the pending collapse of Gernanys military machine.
 The main point, on which they base their opinion is their knowledge tha' the first and most essential term dlc- tated by the Allies was the immediate possession and admission of the trunk line railway through Sofia to Turkey Bulgaria to carry out the terms ol the armistice, must permit the Allied armies to proceed to Sofia to occupy the capital and administer the rail Iway, the only line of communication between Berlin and Constantinople.
 The main military advantage is the exposure of Turkey on her western front to immediate attack by the Creek French and English armies
 This situation, combined with the Iadvance of General Allenby through Asia Minor against Constantinople even without an offer of unconditiona surrender from Turkey, would seen to promise the end of the war ill tha' part of the world within 60 days, 1T the opinion of these experts.
 The next logical move in the unfold ing of the Allied war program in wolves the re-entry into the war o Rumania on the side of the Allies.
 With Rumania again in the field o1 the side of the Allies, Austria will b. attacked by way of her back-door anC ~ at the very point where the Jugo-Sla7 nation will come into touch with ant assist the allied armies.

JUDGE COMLEY
 TO PASS ON CONSTRUCTION
Receives Appointment As Administrator of Non War
 Building Projects.

Announcement was made today of the appointment of former Senator William H. Comley as administrator of non-war construction for Bridge port and vicinity by the department of non-war construction of the State Council of Defense. As district di- rector for Bridgeport MT. Comley will receive applications for permits from all persons in the city who con- template building operations not spe- officially exempted by the federal war industries board.
 These applications must be in the form of a written statement made un- der oath covering the following points;
 1-Reason for building at this time :. Necessity of building to owner
 3-Approximate cost.
 4-Approximate amount of princi- pal materials.
 5-The assistance direct or indirec' to the winning of the war to be de rived from allowing the proposed building to proceed.
 6-In case the work is in process state per cent complete at the pres ent time. S 1 Judge Comley will, when satisfied o l the desirabi1ity or lack of it, mak' l recommendation to the state director who, with his committee will reviev the matter, and transmit the decision to Washington for final judgment.
 The department of non-war con struction points. out that there seem to be some misunderstanding by tn public regarding the scope of the plal of the war industries. board in restrict ing building construction. The as sumption in some quarters appears t be that a permit is not necessar when the cost of proposed building less than $2,500. This is erroneou! A permit must be obtained for all ne7 construction irrespective of tn amount involved. A permit is als necessary for all extensions and re pairs where the aggregate cost over $2,500.
