Crowding the Enemy

THERE is cheering news for the allies from
1 every battle front in Europe and Asia. At
no stage OF the war have there been such
cumulative successes as are being reported
day by day from France from Macedonia
from Palestine Sand from Siberia ONLY in
Italy is there anything approaching deadlock,
and intimations are coming from Rome that
the reorganizcd and rejuvenated Italian army
Is about 10 launch great offensive in the
hope OF striking the second decisive blow @:
the year at the military prestige OF Austria
In France, Marshal Foch has rolled back
the German lesons from the territory taken
in the spring offensive captured nearly 200
600 enemy prisoners, Killed or seriously
wounded probably 100000 in addition and
is nov threatening the Hndenburg line from
the Swiss Alps 10 the Channel. The initiative
mas been taken from l.udendorfI and there
IS no immed!ate likelihood that the German
armies will again undertake an offensive
lew hundred miles TO the east of the
french battle line, another allied army is
driving the Bugarians before them The
enemy Is retreatng precipitately Thousands
OF prisoners have been taken: irnDortan,
railway lines have been cut; Bulgarian terri
tory has been invaded. and unless the on
ward movement OF the British French, Ser
bians and Greeks is soon checked the central
powers will be separated by a wall OF iron
and possibilities OF great moment will be the
result.
Still! further east General Allcnby has in
hicted crushing defeat upon the Turkish
armies in Palestine He has all but an
initiated two field armies Of the enemy re-
moved. probably for all time the threatened
INVASION OF Egypt and promises in turn. to
advance INTO The heart OF Asia Minor The
Czecho-Slovaks have thrown the Bolshcviki
back on the Foga, and their allies are rapidly
clearing Siberia OF all enemy forces
verify these are days Of buoyant hope for
the allied cause. The end Of the war may
not be in sight, but it is not too much to
eAp"ct mat the enemy must soon see that
! u IS suicidal 70 pfotract this struggle in
/ definitely. Once that realization spreads
throughout tho cent'a! powers lhcy viii be
