Bulgaria has quit the war and sues
for peace. An armistice was signed
with her, and hostilities ceased Monday
noon.
Bulgaria surrenders to the allies her
railroads and strategic points, evacu-
ates all occupied territory in Serbia
and Greece and disarms her troops
This gives Austria and Germany an
other front to look after. There were
considerable numbers of Austrian and
German troops on the Bulgarian front
but the detection will be a serious
loss to the central powers, as it cuts
off the quickest and easiest commu-
nication with Turkey.
1t is announced from Berlin that
troops have been rushed to Bulgaria
TO close the gap left open. No doubt
the German forces occupying Ruma-
MIA were hurried there, and these we're
augmented by Austrian troops.
But with the furious onslaught on
the lines in France, covering 2oO or
more miles. and developing into the
biggest battle of the war II is not
believed that sufficient troops can be
detached to make invulnerable the
positions that remain TO be taken 10
admit allied troops TO Austria by the
back door. Italy is ready to strike
whenever the situation demands 1t.
There have been no big engagements
on the Italian front for several weeks
and her troops are fresh and ready
for what demands are made upon
them.
Turkey is growing restless and il
is suggested in the dispatches that
the proposal of an armistice from her
will not be surprising. Her army in
Macedonia is all but wiped out, cap
ture of 10000 having been made yes
terday. This brings the number OF
Turkish soldiers captured within the
past week or so up to 6O,OOO. IL is
said that the Turkish government has
made almost impossible demands upon
Berlin. and failing to get them, viii
follow the lead of Bulgaria and make
the best bargain she can.
Rumania has suffered greatly al
the hands of the occupying troops II
the months since she was forced u
Quit. and it is not impossible that sh'
will again enter the war on the sid'
of the allies.
On six battle fronts in France, ex
tending from Belgium to Verdun, th'
allies are registering victory after vic
tory. The enemy almost everywhere
is crumbling. Notwithstanding desper
ate resistance is being offered. II
all sectors under attack the front il
gradually bending back. In Belgium tn
troops of King Albert and Field Mar
shall Haig have pierced so deepl,
eastward that Germany's submarine
bases on the North Sea are in DANCE
of being cut Off The famous Messines
Wytschaete ridge has been captures
and allied guns dominate the plain
beyond. Both Menin and Rouliers, i'm
portant supply points, are virtually i
the hands of the allies and must 500
fall.
From Cambrai to ST. Quentin tn
British and Americans have delivere
smashing blows on the strong point
of the old Hindenburg line. The Brit
ish are engaged in cleaning up Cam
bria. having penetrated its suburb
from two directions. In the region
ST Quentin. where the Americans ar
fighting with he British. the Hinder
burg line has been cut and penetrate
10 a depth of three miles over fror
of eigh miles.
The German people are stunned b
the reverses that have Overtaken the
forces. and for the first time, II
said. realize that Germany is likel
10 be beaten.
