from Belgium to Verdun on six battle
fronts are registering victory after vic
tory over the Teutonic armies and the
enemy front almost everywhere is
crumbling notwithstanding the desper
ate resistance that is being offered on
various sectors.
Seeing eventual defeat staring her in
the face through the swift progress of
the Serbian, Italian. British, Greek anil
French troops in the reclaiming of Ser
bia and the invasion of Bulgarian ter
ritory, the Bulgars begged for an arm
istice, reserving to themselves no con
ditions. All the territory now held by
King Ferdinand's men is to be 'evac
uated: the Bulgarian army is to be im
mediately demobilized and all means of
transport inside the kingdom even
along the Danube, is to be given over
into Allied hands.
Thus, in addition to the isolation of
(Turkey, the back door to a direct in
vasion of Austria-Hungary is flung
wide open to the Allies and doubtless
the time is not far distant when advan- j
tage to the full will be taken to the new
avenue through which the enemy can
be reached.
With th debacle in Serbia and Bul-
ter-attacks compelled the British on
one or two sectors to withdraw for
slight distances. The British are in
the process of cleaning up the town of
Cambrai, having penetrated its suburbs
from the northwest and southwest.
In the region of St. Quentin. where
the Americans are fighting with the
British, the old Hindenburg line has
been cut and penetrated to a depth of
three miles over a front of eight miles.
In conjunction with the operations of
the French northeast of Soissons the
Germans have, begun the evacuation of
the Chemin des Dames and the French
now hold half of this famous defensive
position. Likewise there is an indica
tion that the enemy intends to give up
the remaining positions held by him
along the Vesle to Rheims.
