GERMANS DEFEATED
UPON SIX FRONTS
ENEMY LINE CRUMBLES UNDER
THE ALLIED DRIVE FROM
BELGIUM TO VERDUN
Advance of Troops Under King Albert
and Marshal Haig Jeopardizes Ger
many's Submarine Bases on
the North Sea.

Paris.-The entente allied forces
from Belgium to Verdun, on six bat
tlefronts, are registering victory after
victory over the Teutonic armies, and
the enemy front almost everywhere is
crumbling, Notwithstanding the des-
perate resistance that is being offered
ON various sectors.
On all of the sectors under attack,
from Belgium to Flanders, to the re-
gion of Verdun, the German front is
gradually bending back under the viO-
lence of the attacks of the British,
Americans, French and BelgianS. In
Belgium the advance Of the troops of
King Albert and OF Field Marshal Haig
has pierced so deeply eastward that
Germanys submarine bases on the
North sea are in jeopardy of being cut
off
The famous Messines- Wytschaete
ridge has been captured and the allied
guns dominate the plains beyond. Both
Menin and Roulers, important railroad
junction points for the supply of the
German armies north and south, are
virtually in the hands of the British
and Belgians, and seemingly soon must
fall.
From Cambria to st. Quentin the
British and Americans again have de-
against the German strong points all
along the front. including the remain
ing portions of the old Hindenburg
line The Germans here are offering
most strenuous resistance and in
counter-attacks compelled the British
slight distances.
The British are In the process Of
cleaning up the town Of Cambria, hav-
Ing penetrated its suburbs from the
northwest and southwest. In the re-
giOn of st. Quentin, where the Amer
leans are fighting with the British, the
old Hindenburg line has been cut and
penetrated to a depth of three miles,
over front Of eight miles.
In conjunction with the operations
of the French northeast of scissors,

BULGARIA IS NOW
OUT OF WORLD WAR
DEMANDS OF ALLIES We ="
FULL AND POSSIBILITIES
SUSPENDED.
BULGARIAN Army to Be Immediately De-
nnoboIized and All Means OF Trans
port Inside the Kingdom to Be
Turned Over to Allies.

London.-Bulgaria is definitely out
of Tho war and Turkey, virtually cut
off from communication with her aliies
and her armies in Palestine almost an
inhibited. likely soon will be forced 10
she for cessation OF hostliiues
against her.
Seeing eventual defeat staring her
in the face through the swift prog
ress of the Serbian, italian, BRUSH,
Greek and French troops In the re-
claiming of Serbia and the invasion OF
bulgarian territory the Buigars
begged for al armistice, reservihg 10
themselves no conditions. All the TER
ritory now held by King Ferdinand s
men is TO be evacuated; the Bulgarian
army is to be Immediately demobilized
and all means of transport inside the
kingdom. even along the Danube, Is TO
be given over into allied hands.
Austria to Be Tested.
Thus. in addition to the isolation or
Turkey, the back door TO a direct IN
vasion of Austria Hungary Is hung
wide open to the allies and doubtless
the time is not far distant when ad-
vantage to the full will be taken TO the
new avenue through which the enemy
can be reached. With the debacle In
Serbia and Bulgaria complete, the
Austro- Hungarians in Albania soon
will be put to the test, and when their
evacuation TO their own borders Is ac-
complished the allies will have welded
an iron semi-circle about the central
powers from the Black sea to the
North sea.
Outlook Gloomy for Huns.
Viewing the situation In all its as
pects-the success of the great Of
fensve In Belgium and France; the
blotting out of the war zone In the
Balkans, the cutting off OF the Turks
from intercourse with Germany and
Austria Hungary, except by the long
route through the Caucasus and south
ern Russia and the steady gains that
are being made by the allies in making
Russia once more factor In the
struggle-the darkest days of the war
seemingly are faced by the Austro-
Germans.
Although II had been officially an
nOunced that hOstilitieS against the
Bulgarians ceased at noon Monday.
the French official communication Of
Monday night said French cavalry had
entered Uskub, one Of the most impor-
tant communication centers In Serbia.
1t Is not improbable, therefore, that
the French are still hard after the
Germans who are known to have been
fighting with the Bulgarlnns ia this re-
giOn, acting as rear guards.
