The sensational news of the earlier
part of the week came from Palestine
and Macedonia. In the Holy Land
General Allenby, by sudden, swift
and skillfully conducted attack.
smashed the Turkish forces between
the River Jordan and the Mediterra-
mean from the Jaffa-Jericho line clear
up beyond the Sea of Galilee. Feint-
ing with his right in an attack direct
ed toward Afule, in the hill region of
Samaria he delivered his main blow
with his left, which moved swiftly up
the coastal plain, occupying in turn
Caesarea, Haifa and Acre. This force
then quickly shifted its course toward
the northeast, turning the highlands
of Samaria and compelling the Turks
to make a precipitate and perilous re-
treat In fact the enemy was routed
and made little effort to rally and
check the victorious progress of the

Probably 10000 prisoners were taken

were virtually annihilated. There is

1t was a bad week for the Huns and

trail powers always being the losers.
And to top II off, on Thursday the
French and American armies started
another big drive in the Champagne

lines In the rear of the Hindenburg
defense system and might even result
in separating the German forces in
the west into two groups.
The drive, on a 40-mile front was
shared equally by the armies of Per
shing and Petain and all the way from
the Suippe river TO the Mouse the
Germans were forced back, their bases
and railway centers at Somme-Py and
Challerange being in immediate peril.
The Americans made the swiftest prog
ress along the Meuse valley. taking
many towns and thousands of prison
ers. The Huns were Withdrawing all
their forces except machine gunners.
At the time of writing the Yanks and
French were still advancing.
This new allied attack came log
ically after the Huns were driven
back to the Hindenburg line and was
well timed for the enemy had concen-
trated his heavy guns and all the
troops he could spare further north to
defend st. Quentin and Laon against
the persistent assaults of the British
and French. For quite distance east

open that the movement of the allies
is favored and any considerable adj
vance there would tend to cut the east
ward communication lines from Laon,
which city has been the pivot of the
entire German system from Reims to
Flanders.

General Allenby deserves the greater
credit for his success because he had
to send many of his troops to the
west front in Europe during the sum

How the leaders of the Young Turks,

In Serbia, where another German
general, Won Steuben, is in supreme
command of the forces of the central
powers, the successes of the allies
were no less than those in Palestine
and Perhaps of greater immediate i'm
portance. Having driven their great
spearhead nOrthward in the center Of
the line along the Vardar river, they
crossed that river and by Tuesday the
Serbians had reached the outskirts Of
IShtip, an important Bulgarian base.
Then the allies turned to both the east
and west in great thanking move
ment. On the west the Serbians, rOut-
ing a German garrison, took Gradsko,
capturing an enormous quantity of sup
plies, including a number of guns. They
and the French operating with them
passed far beyond Prilep toward Kru-
shevo and Kichevo, which are in the
foothills of the mountains separating
Serbia and Albania. They occupied
Veles, north of Prilep, Thursday.
Thus the allies gained control of the
entire Unconstitutional road cutting
the Bulgarian army into number of
groups. Still further west the Italians
took hand in the joyful proceedings,
pursuing the fleeing BulgarianS relent-
lessly.
East of the Vardar the Bulgars and
Germans were steadily forced back to-
ward the frontier, and on Thursday
came the news that British and Greek
forces had actually invaded Bulgaria
at Kosturino, about six miles south of
Strumnitza, the Teutonic base of that
region. In the Lake Dorian region the
resistance of the enemy has been
stronger, but there too the British and
Greeks were making daily gains, AS
soon as they shall have driven the
BuIgars from a hilly triangle in that
sector, it is pointed out, they will
be able to put into commission again
the Uskub Salonild railroad and con
vey plentiful supplies to the troops
AS the allies advanced they were
joined by the peasants, and among the
prisoners taken We're many SerbianS
who had been forced to serve in the
Bulgarian army. 1t is noteworthy that
among the allies fighting in this region
is big contingent of Jugo-Slavs. In
the advance of the allies the tanks cut
a considerable figure. These engines
of war never before had been on such
rough, mountainous terrain.

Is trying hard to effect an arrangement
by which the offer of the United
States can be accepted. This, in a
word. is that foodstuffs will be sent
from this country, under guaranty
against their transportation, provided
Holland will send her own ships to
get them. The Dutch feel that they
must first make an arrangement with
Germany and obtain formal guaranty
that their vessels will not be sunk or
seized, for If they were she would

Is a difficult situation for the Dutch
and they are entitled TO much sympa-

troubles are due to the greed Of their

them to the Germans AT extraordinary

Imperial Chancellor Won Hertling,
addressing the main committee of the
reichstag, made very blue speech,
admitting the deep discomfort of the
German people and the gravity of the
situation. His effort to defend the
government was regarded as failure
and his own downfall was predicted.
Won Hertling made a bitter attack on
President Wilson, and said that though
he had accepted the four principles Of
a democratic peace laid down by Mr.
Wilson. the president had not deigned
to reply. This is false, as Won Hertlng
accepted only the first four of Will
sons first set of fourteen planks and
then stated that Germany would make
peace with each belligerent separate
ly and deal with Poland independent
~. The rest of the planks he re-
jected.
