Bulgar Army Demoralized.

On the Balkan front a tremendous
drive has been carried out by relative
ly small forces, and the result is so
obvious, he said, as hardly to need de-
failing. The allies had captured two
lines Of railways which formed the
main arteries Of supply to the Bull
garians. as well as means of their
safe retreat. This has been followed
by the utter Generalization of the
Bulgarian army.
The picturesque movement in, Pales-
tine was one Of the events of the
week. conspicuous feature Of which
was the precipitate departure of the
German commander-in-chief before

The operations in Bulgaria, Gen.
March went on to explain, show in
striking degree the results Of the
concentration Of forces on the west
ern front Heretofore when the CEN
trail powers were threatened at any
other point Germany could send REIN
forcements without endangering her
position IN the west
That day is past" said Gen. March.
Marshal Foch is now holding the
|entire German strength on the west
ern front, and the Germans cannot
send help. to threatened positions
elsewhere"
Explaining in detail the military
operations of the week on the west
ern front, Gen. March said that last
Tuesday the British and French be-
gan closing in on St Quentin and
have come within two miles Of that
town. Thursday the French and Amer
leans attacked on a twenty-mile
front In Champagne. That attack was
marked by that sharpness and intre-

The situation on the battle fronts
Of Europe has been continuously

Gen March. chief Of stan. announced
today.
Gen. March took pains to impress
upon his hearers tho deep signidcance
Of the decentralization Of the Bulgarian
army and the appeal for an armistdce
looking to a separate peace between
Bulgaria and the allied powers. He
said the detection Of Bulgaria is not
only important in its bearing upon
conditions there, but also in the grand
strategy of the war.
He intimated that the possible de-
lection Of Turkey from alliance with
the central powers may be looked for
as an outcome Of the situation in Bull
garia, and also may be followed by
the Remittance Of Rumania into the
war on the side Of the allies.
