THE ADVANCE IN MACEDONIA
En my Forces Cot iu Twa
Paris, Sept
h
Te arrival of the Allies on the life of the Fanlar gives them possession of the railway skirting the river, forming a line of conimunication between the first and second Bulgarian armies. The catting of this line at Demirkapou means that the enemy forces comprising sixteen divisions are. divided in two and they are hastily preparing to retreat, bath north of Monastir and in the Doiran region. By the "nastery of the mountain zone the allies are now able to de- bouch on the plain. The Bulgarians are systematically destroying the evacuated regions
"The Advance Continues.
#
London, Sept. 22, A French Eastern communique says: The Franco-Ser bian armies on Sept. 21,, on the Drachevéso massif broke the serious resistance of the Bulgarians, who were reinforced by German troops. Purning their success the Allies north- wards passed Vuzaack and Kavadar and reached the Vardar, in the direction of Negotin and Demirkapou. The enemy
is destroying material wholesale in the direction of Cradako and in the region of the Vardar and Doiran, where they are burning stations, muitions depots and aviation 'parks. The number of prisoners and guns captured is increasing. The Serbians captared a complete group of mountain guns. and a battery of 105 millimetre guns. Aviators continue. to harass the retreating enemy. In the eastern part of the Cerna bend the enemy has began to retreat, The Allies aptured Chaniste and Orle.. The Franco-Greeks north and north-east of the Dzena massif continue to progress in conjunction with the Serbians.
Fifteen Villages Liberated.
London, Sept. 23.
A Serbian communique issued on the evening of Sunday ays: We have liberated fifteen villages. We are forcing the Germano-Bulgar reinforcements to retreat. We crossed. to the left bank of the Vardar and cut the main rail-line between Eskub and Salonika, We crossed the Cerna and ent the rail-hine between Garagsko and Prilep, which is the German army's main line of communication We advanced 35 kilometres between September 15 and 21 and certain infantry units reached the highest point in the very moan- tainous region and adfanced 40 kilometres in one day. The booty and prisoners is constantly increasing
=}
The latest news is that the Serbian cavalry are only three miles from the Bulgarian frontier in the Strümnitza region The Eleventh German Division has been broken through, together with the main Bulgarian forces, which are retiring in disorder..
Italian Progress.
London, Sept. 23. An Italian official message says: On the night of Sept. 21 we continued to pursue, the enemy. After an advance of twelve kilometres, and the capture of sixteen villages, our left wing and centre reached, by dawn, the line of Cairli, Dobruscito, Musa and Oba. Our right carried a strong position at Mont Bobiste. Numerous prisoners were captured
THE PALESTINE VICTORY.
A Model in Conception and Execution.
London, Sept 23.
General Allenby's victory is hailed arra model in con ception and execution and is the most complete hitherto attained by the Alliea in any theatre. The immediate effect is the liberation of the Holy Land, for it is anticipated that General Allenby will have little difficulty in entirely clearing northern Palestine. He will be able to relieve communica tions by establishing a sea base at Haifa, whence the rail- way runs to Beisan and Damascus. Thus the whole Turkish railway system in Southern Syria is controlled by the Anglo- French forces. But the Turkish disaster is bound to have a most profound reaction in Constantinople and Sofia, and will com- promise the situation of the Turks in Mesopotamia. It will terminate the Turkish adventures in Persia and the Caucasus.
Huge Haul of Prisoners.
London, Sept. 23.
A Palestine communique states: Having seized the pas sages of the Jordan at Jisred Damien on Sunday morning the enemy's last avenue of escape westward of the river is closed. The Seventh and Eighth Tarkish Armies have virtu- ally ceased to exist and their entire transport has been captured By eight set evening 25,000 prisoners and 280 gans had been counted, while, many prisoners and much material bare, not yet been enumerated.
Turkish Empire Imperiiled,
London, Sept. 23.
The "Daily Telegraph," which declares that the existence. of the Ottoman Empire is imperilled by one of the most masterly strokes of the war, points out that "General Allenby has struck unexpectedly early and has all the campaigning season still before him
The "Morning Post" urges that a diplomatic effort be made to detech Turkey from the Central Power.
A Palestine communique says that 25,000 prisoners and 200 guns have been counted
German "General's Narrow Escape.
Paris, Sept 23.
It transpires that General Liman von Sanders barely escaped from Mount Tabor, where he was directing the Turks in their resistance in Palestine.
THE GERMAN POLITICAL CRISIS.
London, Sept. 23 Newspapers in London do not take the German politi cal crisis seriously as it is the eighth such crisis in Germany during the war and it is anticipated that the farce will be re-enacted of making a change of Ministry without weaken- ing the control of the militarista. The latest more in the peace offensive is indicated by a message from Amsterdam stating that great prominence is given in the German preas to a scheme of a League of Nations outlined by the Centrist Depaty Herr Erzberger in a forthcoming book, The draft constitution he has prepared is published and provides for the establishment of the League immediately Germany, Great Britain, France, the United States, and Bassis-an- nounce adhesion to it. It will have its seat at The Hagia where an International Bureau will conduct its business, controlled by an Administrative Council, presided over by the Dutch Foreign Minister. The scheme provides that the League guarantee the territorial possessions of each Federal State belonging to the League and the undisturbed posses aian of the colopigs, while States outside, whose, Goreme menta proclaim nienteality, will be recognised sa permanently sentral A31" States colonies in Africa are to be per petually neutral. The scheme provides for obligatory z arbitraáon and the reduction of naval and military forces to an agreed standard, the recognition of freedom of the sess and members of the League renounce the railing kroops in the golonies. For a decade after the founded of the Leagus nach of the State's surpina zww.ma be divided with others.
