British and Bulgarians Face Each

Of the British line in Macedonia is
formed by the Struma valley. Brit
ish troops arrived here i'll June, 1910
when the temperature was los in the
shade, and they have been there ever
since.
1t is an area OF varies fighting. A
few miles OF trench warfare, then
a vast patrolling area of No Mans
Land, and No Mans Sea, the latter
being the lake with its flotilla OF
tiny patrol boats. Most OF the fight
ing has taken place in the Seres
plain, once the most fertile tobacco
and grain area in the world, but
now jungle of monstrouS wild
plants which tower high over a
mans head so that the whole area
is sitting, bewildering, deserted
wilderness.
The inhabitants have long since
disappeared with e. luscious res

impartial bullets and shells of rival
invaders, whose uarrels the local
inhabitants neither understood nor
cared about.
The Anopheles mosquito is now
the uncrowned monarch OF this
whole country. 1t is a far deadlier
enemy than bullets or shells aud
arme, cannot live in the jungle, so
that this vast area is now only dis
trict for patrols.
Now only a district for patrols.
The British have their position on
one range Of hills, the Bulgarians
on the other and their patrols often
meet in that vast florid No Mans
Land.
But since the Bulgarians are al
WAYS nervous about Seres and the
railway, they have to occupy north
ern strip of the valley and that is
where the British continually an
nov and harras them. In this area,
the British are always on the Of
fcnsivc, keeping the Bulgarians in
a continuous state OF nervousness.

Straightforwardness Best

1t is publicity that has created highly senSitized,
receptive national intelligence and to thwart this by
unwiSe censorship whether of war news, books, or
plays is a weak and stupid policy Business adver-
Using proves repeatedly that straightorwardnesS is
the only policy.
1t costs huge sums for business man to turn the
Searchlight of publicity on to his own enterprise
Dishonest publicity defeats its own ends; it
makes no deep and lasting impression, which is
what every business man wants.
