NEWS REVIEW OF THE GREAT WAR Reorganized Serbian Army Starts an Important Offensive on the Saloniki Front. BULGARIANS ARE IN FLIGHT Franco-British Forces Closing Down on St. Quentln Despite Strong Re sistance Americans Shelling Metz Austrla'o Peace Sug gestion Promptly Re jected. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. With a regenerated and reorganized army, Serbia took the lead last week in siniiMiliig the Hun and his allies. Aided by French and Greek contin gents, the hard-lighting Serbians struck at tho Saloniki front held by the Ilul garlans and certain Germnu units. They struck hard, too, and within three days had advanced 12 miles ou a 20 mile front, taking 50 towns, including the strongest of the enemy positions. At first the resistance was stubborn, but by Thursday the Bulgarians wero reported In full rutrcut and tho Ser bians pursuing them dny and night. The enemy threw in fresh divisions, but In vuln, for Uiey too were coin 'plctcly defeated. So swift wero tho flight and tho pursuit that the Serbians had not had time to count the great number of prisoners taken or to esti mate the quantities of material that fell into their hands. This Serbian ndvance by tho end of tho week was seriously mennclng tho city of I'rlllp, ono of tho chief bnses of the central powers In Macedonia. It Is not beyond the bounds of possibil ity that It may later bo connected up with tho operations of tho allies In Al bnnln, of which little has been heard lately. A good many authorities long havo held tho opinion that tho wnr can bo brought to a successful cud soonest by a great offensive In the Bnlknn re gion, cutting off Turkey and Bulgaria fiom their allies nnd threatening Aus tria from the south. IBB With the Franco-British pincers slowly but Burely closing down on St. Quentln, tho French nnd Amerlcnns tn possession of the western end of tho Chemln-des-Damcs nnd steadily pushing toward Laon and tho Yankees firmly established on their new lines In Lorraine, shelling Metz and threat ening tho great Iron nnd conl fields of tho Iirley basin, tho German high com mand Inst week wns still clinging to tho Hlndcnhurg line through most of Its length. Tho Huns hnd massed vast numbers of long-rango guns nnd wero resisting desperately, but their Increas ing dearth of man power was becom ing moro evident dally, nnd tho pris oners taken, though well fed nnd clothed, wero despondent nnd tired. After several days of preparatory operations Field Marshal Hulg on Wed nesday attacked on a 10-mtlo front northwest of St. Quentln, from Gou zeaucourt south of Holnon Wood. Be fore nightfall tho British had smashed nhcad to a depth of three miles, taking I'elzlere, La Vergulcre, Epehy, Rons f.oy, Vllleret nnd other towns and bag ging moro thnn fl,000 prisoners. Tho primary object of tho drive, which was made In a hard rainstorm, was to gain possession of tho old British trench system of Inst March, running nlong an important ridge. Many of the best fighting units In tho Gorman nrmy wero opposed to Hnlg's men, hut the lntter nt talned their object In tho mnln nnd at sorno points went further thnn had been expected. Tho artillery work of tho Gcrmuns, especially with high ve locity guns mnssed behind tho St. Quentln cnnnl, wns moro severe than for n long tlmo before. Pa Simultaneously with Hnlg's nttnek, tho French hit tho Boclies on n ten mile front south of St. Quentln, udvnnc ing more than u mllo and taking four villages nnd hundreds of prisoners. Military critics express no doubt of the ultimate, fall of St. Quentln, but tho enemy Is sure to pnt up n long, hard fight before ho evacuates that kejstono position. 1 Stubbornly hanging on to tho west end of the Chemln-des-Dnmes and Im proving their positions there, tho French repulsed many fierce attacks last week and advanced toward Laon nlong the southern edge of the St. Gobnln forest. The entire plateau southwest of Laon Is under the flro of their artillery, and though they wero moving forward with duo caution, they showed no intentions of stopping. Ka On the new Amerlcnn front In French Lorraine the Infantry nctlvlty during the week was confined mostly to operations for tho solidifying of po sitions, though tho Yankees did push forward along the Mouse for a con sldernblo gain. This brought Metz un der the fire of their artillery nnd tho bombardment of thnt great fortress city begun at once and vigorously. It seems thnt tho allies are now In n po sition to keep up the shelling of Metz during tho fall and winter, If neces sary, nnd thus its reduction, virtually Impossible by direct attack, may bo accomplished. Tho Germnns now ad mit tin Importance of the American drlvo on the St. Mlhlel salient, but tho deception of their people through tho filllcial reports continues, ns exempli fied by tho stntement, one day last week, that American attacks on Ilnu iiiont had been repulsed and the Yan kees also had been beaten at Thlau mont. At that time Haumont had been safely held by tho Americans for three days nnd Thlnumont wns already five miles behind I'ershlng's lines. Fresncs, nn Important city, also was taken by the Yankees Inst week, und tho lino built by them now runs parallel with Oio Hlndcnhurg line nt nn nverngo dis tance of u mile and n half. Every day the German artillery has been deluging1 the. old salient with explosive nnd gas shells, and tho American gunners havo replied most effectively, battering tho towns held by tho Huns and scvernl times breaking up attempted lnfnntry uttacks, with severo loss to the enemy. The airmen on both sides were extra ordinarily nctivo nnd tho Americana curried out a number of highly suc cessful bombing expeditions over en emy territory. In one of these, how ever, n superior forco was encountered and five of our planes wero lost. Inci dentally, tho British reported that In tho St. Quentln sector tho Germnns wero using' n new typo of plane thnt carries eight men and bombs 13 feet long and weighing 2,000 pounds.1. All along tho west front the air fighting wus most Intense. In one day the British brought down CO enemy planes nnd lost 10, which Indicates tho fierceness of tho struggle for tho mas tery of the air. Tho Independent Brit ish air squadrons kept up their fine work In tho bombing of German cities, notably Mannheim, Metz-Snhlons, Treves and Frankfort. This brings howls from tho Huns which aro music to tho allied ear. IN Tho bolshevik forces In Russia, for which some victories were claimed early In tho week, later were reported to bo retreating on both tho northern and southern fronts. Tho Czecho slovaks along tho Volga continued their advance, nnd the fact that they captured Perm, capital of the govern ment of that nnme, Indicated they wero in a fair way to effect the Junction of tho forces which aro fighting In west ern Slburu with thoso which have been engaged In southeastern Russia. As was predicted, the Japanese censors do not permit much news to come from the allied expedition In Siberia, but what does come Is satisfactory. In Russia the reign of terror Insti tuted by the bolshevlkl to suppress tho counter revolution continues and un known numbers of the opponents of Lenlno and Trotzky have been mas sacred. The American government last week Issued a scries of nrtleles expos ing those two precious rascals as tho paid agents of Germany, giving the text of many secret documents ob tained by an agent of tho committee on public Information. All this mado Intensely Interesting reading, hut no one In America except n few highbrow "Intellectuals" Is surprised by tho facts revealed, and thero doesn't seem nny way to got those facts beforo the Rus sian people whom Lenlno and Trotzky and their crew have tricked and betrayed, Vixttiiz.. troops n Alsace. 2 One of the large dccoruuig an American soldier ou All the allied ministers who former ly "'iv at .lassy, Roumuuhi, Including Chnriis Voplcka of America, have been nrrested In Petrograd, according to n report reaching Tho Hague. IM Au-Trla's suggestion of a "nonblnd Ing" inference of all the belligerents to make clear their wur alms and peace demainls met with the promptest kind of rejection by the allies, President Wilson taking the lead In refusing to consider the idea. In two sentences he replied that America's terms had been repeatedly and clearly stated and therefore no proposal for such n con ference would bo entertulned by It. In this Mr Wilson wns heartily supported by the cntlro nntlon, and his position was also thoroughly approved by the allies of the United States. Austria's suggestion, mnde with tho consent of Berlin, admittedly was merely n "pence llyer," and there was little ex pectatlmi In Huuland that It would re ceive fiionihlo consideration. No better reception was accorded the German offer of peace to Belgium. With unblushing effrontery Berlin asked the nation the Huns have rav ished to drop out of the conflict, not even suggesting that they would make reparation for tho horrible crimes they have committed there, and making the Insidious proposal that the "Flemish question" should be considered and the Flemish minority that aided the Ger man Invaders should not be penalized. Belgium, of course, Bald "No" to all thli 'elnptrnp. I The political situation In Hungary Is becoming extremely critical nnd tha opposition to the government Is grow ing holder. Its leader, Count KnrolyL Is quoted In dispatches as declaring that tho central powers should accept President Wilson's 14 peaco points ni a basis for negotiations and that the treaties of Brcst-Lltovsk and Bucha rest should bo abrogated. The pope seems to havo scented chances of pence once again, for It wns stated nt the Vntlcnn thnt If n diplomatic repre sentation should bo received by him from ono of the parties, ho would usk the other party If It desired to re echo such a representation. B Substantial support for President Wilson's penco plans woh received from the labor conference of the allied nations In London when tho Interna tional relations committee recommend ed that the conference subscribe to tho 14 points formulated by Wilson, "thus adopting a policy of clearness and moderation ns opposed to n policy dic tated exclusively by changes on the wnr map." Nr According to figures received up to dnte, the total registration of the coun try under tho new drnft law was nt least 12,800,000, or 100,000 above tho estimated total. Of these the govern ment proposes to call to the colors 2,700.000, to be added to tho 3,200,000 men alrcdy under arms. It Is planned to have 80 divisions In France beforo next summer, and to finance so grent an undertaking tho wnr department has asked congress to provide it lm mediately with an nddltlonnl $7,000, 000 ono in ensh. Ornntlng this, the nd ministration nnd congress has tho chi'ti-o of Increasing the amount of taxes provided by tho revenue bill from $8,000,000,000 to $ 10.000 000,000, or riming nil the nddltlonnl ?7,000,000,. 000 from tho snle of bonds nnd nbun don ri' tho plan of raising one-third of tin- "st of the war by taxation.
