While the Serbs and their French
allies are wresting from the Bulgar
ians some of the strongest positions
they have held in Macedonia for the
-, st two years. Marshal Foch's forces
ore nibling, successfully at the Ger
man lines oh the western front in the
face of more determined resistance.
Another victory, has been recorded
for the American, British and French
in the newly constituted eastern front
Detachments of the Allies have rout
ed Bolsheyiki forces in the vicinity of
Archangel and it is reported many of
the Red Guard officers went over to
the Allies when their men fled in panic
The near east furnished the most
tensational news of the day.' The of
fensive Which has been launched there
seems not only the most successful
but the most pretentious in many
months. It appears probable that a
lurther advance by the 1 Franco-Serb-ian.troops
will necessitate the recall of
the Bulgarian divisions which have
been loaned to Emperior William to
bolster the Teuton resistance in
France, and Flanders.
Serbians Take Prisoners.
An official Serbian report declares
that the reconstituted army of the
battered but not beaten little kingdom
has taken not only 3,000 prisoners but -an
important park of cannon. The
Bulgars admit having retired, but de-' ,
clare the attack has been checked to
the north of Gradeshitza. There is
ixothing to indicate, hpwever," that the
advance of the Serbs and French has
leen definitely held up.
Heavy Blow Impending. v
The lull in" the fighting in the west
is regarded by military critics as
merely the prelude to further heavy
blows at the foe by the American,
British and French armies,
v. French Forging Ahead.
General Petain's veterans are forg
ing ahead slowly but surely in their
grim and desperate struggle for the
St. Gobain forest which the Germans
have been ordered to hold at all costs
Not only is the position a natural cit
