ing.
The next day, however, the
Serbs, French and Italians broke
the Bulgarian front further west
ward and the Bulgarians began a
general retreat along the whole line
which since has developed into a
rout. The reports of prisoners and
guns taken are not surprising, ow.
ing to the rapid advance of the al
lies and the centering of all the al.
lied energies in getting to their OBJ
jectives.
Cut Avenue of Escape.
1t was reported this afternoon
that Italian cavalry had reached the
road running from Prilep westward,
which affords the only avenue
through the mountains for the es-
cape of the first Bulgarian army,
which is considered to be in a most
dangerous position.
1t is pointed out that prior to the
beginning of this push the allies
had no great superiority in numbers
and that they face a stupendous
task in maintaining communications
through the 50 miles they have
penetrated. Some of this country
is extremely rough.
Even should the allies not take
Uskub, or if there should be some
other development which would pre-
vent the making of the victory a
decisive one, the experts bellows
that the Bulgarians have suffered
so heavily in men and material that
it is doubtful if the army will be
able to recover without the aid OF
the central powers and that con-
tingency is viewed unlikely.
At any rate the Serbans have re-
gained the greater part of Serbian
Macedonia.
