AMERICAN FORCES ON THE LOR-

mander of the American aero squadron
on this front has received the follow
ing letter from the chief of the Brit
lsh squadron, with which the American
aerial forces have been co0perating:
II would like very much to express in

corting in bombing raids
we 'all have agreed that when the

imperative to fly low, thus making a
very long trip over the lines. ncverthe-
less your squadron always has stuck
to US.

machines would struggle owing to en-
ginc trouble, but these machines had
no nee to fear the attacking enemy ain

canal. and behind 1t they have collect

emphasize these points so that the
efforts of General Haig's troops will be
fully appreciated. The British are now
beating the best that Germany has to
offer. 1t is no easy job, nor is it any
quick romp. With one exception, all
the odds favor the enemy. The British
troops are better and fresher fighters
than the enemy.
British Position Difficult
Although the British troops must
cross miles of ruined country, while
the Germans have railways almost
down to their lines, and though the
British have consolidated themselves
after each advance, while the Germans
drop into prepared positions; although
the British artillery must depend upon
ammunition brought with the greatest
labor by horse power, while German
guns are supplied largely by light
railways. General Haig's troops are
withstanding every counter attack the
moment it starts At this sort of fight
ing the British are at their best, and
there are no troops better.
All this is preliminary to breaking
the Hindenburg line. 1t is the kind of
fighting which is calculated to cause
General Ludendorff much more alarm
than the rear-guard actions last month
An ordinary map would show little
change in the lines during the week,
but results which count have been
achieved by advances of five miles or
less since the first of the month

trasts completely with the inelastic
German programme Of isolated mass
attacks on single limited fronts.
The Foch offensive in France
spread from the Marine salient to the
Montdidier and Lassigny salients.
Then it widened SO as to include the
La Fere-Laon front, the front from
Albert north to Lens and the Lys
Valley salient. Finally, the ST.
Mihiel-Metz sector became involved.
And the Germans still face the pros
pect of Allied drives toward Lille.
between Rheims and Nerdun and
into Alsace.
Carrying the conception further,
the Allied army in Macedonia has
begun major offensive against the
Bulgarians. And lest the Turks
should become unduly clated over
their capture OF Baiu. the great oil
port ON the Caspian Sea, General
Allenby has anticipated the return
Of the fighting season in Palestine
and broken through the enemy's
lines running east from the Mediter-
ranean above Jaffa. Only the Ital-
ian and Mesopotamian fronts re-
main quiescent. 1t is not yet the
right weather for campaigning on
the Tigris. But the withdrawal of
numerous Austro- Hungarian diyis-
ions to reinforce the German lines
in France plainly invites an Allied
offensive this fall in Northern Italy.
General Allenby fought several
battles with the Turks last spring
on the line Of the Jordan River. The
Turks had massed their troops on
that side to defend the approaches
to the railway running down from
Damascus to the Arabian Peninsula.
On Thursday, therefore, Allenby
struck in an opposite direction-at
the western end Of the Turkish line
close to the Palestine seacoast. He
penetrated the Turkish positions be
tween Rafat and the sea to depth
of nineteen miles and took more than
5000 prisoners. The Turks were
routed. This unexpected blow will
probably compel the Turkish army
to loosen its grip on the Jordan posi-
tons and to retire toward the north
and northeast. But Turkey Will
have lost the campaign in Palestine
as soon as her forces uncover the
Damascus railroad which is the sole
means of communication between
Arabia and the rest Of the empire.

LONDON, Sept. 2O-The Balkan bat
tie is growing daily, British and
Italians having joined the Serbs,
French and Greeks in the push against
the Bulgars. The Serbs are making
remarkable progress, their advance
measuring thirty miles. From Monas-
tir to the Vardar River, a distance of
seventy miles, the Bulgars have evac-
uated all their front line positions.
/ The prisoners now number upward
of 10000, of whom the Serbs have capt
ured half, besides sixty heavy guns.
The Anglo Greek attack east of Lake
Doiran is some thirty eight miles west
Of the left flank of the Franco-Serban
/ battlefront
Serbian cavalry is moving toward the
valley of the Vardar with little oppo-
sition, as the Bulgars' chief concern
seems to be to escape capture.
The Allies hold the east bank of the
Cerna River for more than ten miles,
and some reports state that the stream
has been crossed at several points.
Over this country, where the noun
tans rise above 5000 feet, communica-
tions have been established and main
tanned with the greatest difficulty, but
as the Allies have some good cavalry
and the Serbians are unexcelled as
mountain fighters, progress at the
present pace may continue for several
days.
The Bulgar army. apparently, is ut
terly demoralzed and there are signs
of complete rout. Their loss in heavy
guns is d serious blow to an army
which had been promised German as
sistance Cor a push this fall

of real disaster. The Franco
Serbian forces, which since Monday
have been breaking through the en-
emy's strong mountain defences
east Of the Cerna River, have fol-
lowed up their victory. The Allied
line has been extended west to the
Cerna and the Franco-Serbian adj
1ance guards have now crossed that
river where it turns east-northeast
toward the Vardar. From it's left
bank they now threaten Prilep, the
chief Bulgarian base north of Mon
astir.
If General d'Esperey's armies can
push up the valley of the Cerna a
little further they will be able to
compel Bulgarian evacuation of
southern Serbia. If they reach the
confluence of the Cerna and the Var
dar they will turn the formidable
Vardar Valley positions at Demir-
kapu, and may force the Bulgarians
to abVldon the whole region north
of Lake Dorian. The Bulgarian line
IN Macedonia is too thin to stand
against a vigorous Allied attack.
The Nardar Valley is the corridor
into middle Serbia. If the Bulgari-
ems lose it they will soon have to
concentrate inside their own borders
tor the defence of Sofia.
ON the front in France the violent
German counter attacks of Thurs
day failed utterly to check the AL
lied advance or to safeguard what is
left of the Hindenburg zone. Yes

again for more than mile in the
sector west Of LIE Catelet-half way
