Germons' Successes Not Surprise and Do Not Mean
Thot Bottle Hos Been Won or Lost

anticipated, and 1t cannot be said
that there is anything particularly
surprising in their successes.
The emotions of many onlookers
are vacillating wildly between wish
full thinking and deepest despair
However, it seems to me the logical
view is that this battle is still in its
opening stages and thus far 1t hasn't
been won or lost
Loss of Salonika and the crushing
of the Greek force by the Struma
come far from ending the battle
Indeed, the British have taken the
attitude that Salonika has lost much
of its value because of its vulnera-
bility to bombing, and that it won't
be of much use to the Germans
because they have no ships.
There is truth in these observa-
tions, but I should say this is rather
looking at the position through the
big end of the telescope. Salonika
would be a great asset to the Allies,
though it must\be admitted that its
loss won't represent disaster.
Second Line Forming.
The defense of Greece proper won t
be nullified by the German posses
sion of Salonika. The Brltons are
reported to be forming second line
of defense west of the Vardar River
which flows down to the city. The
Greco British forces ought to be able
to put up stiff resistance here and
on the Albanian border.
Yugoslavia's position appears less
happy. The Germans already are in
possession of many vital communica-
tions in the open country, and it is
hard to believe that they won't over
run the rest of the Lowlands in short
order. With the Vardar Valley in
the hands of the enemy, the Yugo-
slav troops in the mountains will be
in bad way for supplies. 1t looks as
though the conflict there would de-
velop into guerrilla warfare very
quickly.
The Allies must bank much on the
British Expeditionary Force in
Greece. This is estimated up to
100000 and is said to be admirably
equipped. Hundreds of Royal Air
Force planes repeatedly are in
Greece, and a continent of the Brit
ish fleet is standing by. Thus far,
there has been no word that the
British have been in action, the
Greeks having assumed the defense
by the Struma.

Ime for a nationwide fireside chat
on the radio and ask that the Gov
ernors and Mayors of cities join
thereafter in a series of talks urging
patriotic support of the defense pro-
gram, a national psychology might
be created which would give fewer
and fewer audiences to those who
are attacking the Nations foreign
policy and more and more support to
the patriotic union leaders who are
struggling against those in their
ranks who want to start wildcat"
strikes and demonstrations. Ma
tional morale is excellent in theory
but it does not reach deep enough
as yet to influence workers and man
agement or they would be paying
more attention to the Government
and less to the selfish goals con-
stantly urged upon them by thought
less if not subversive agitators.

slavia and racing south to Salonika.
AS the result of this devastating
sweep, situation has developed
which has greatly increased the
threat to the Allies defense in the
entire battle and will tax their
strength and ingenuity to the
utmost.
The position frames up like this:
l. The Greek force (of unan-
nounced size) which has been so
brilliantly holding the line of the
Struma River by the Bulgarian
border has been cut off and forced
to surrender by the onrushing NaZis.
2. The invaders have captured the
great port and rail-head of Salonika,
battle-ground of the ages because of
its strategic position.
3. The lower tip of Yugoslavia may
be slashed through. thereby severing
her from the Allied armies and also
cutting her off from supplies except
ing such as can be got to her by the
precariouS route of the Adriatic and
her own Dalmatian coast.

full will serve the further purpose of
permitting the Germans to break
