THE BALKAN STATES AND

THE WAR

Er would appear from telegrams to hand that the arena of what might best be termed extreme activity in the war is about to be shifted to the Balkona. Serbia is again being threatened by the Teutchie bullies, but to her credit she has, as would be seen in a telegram published yester- dlay, expressed her determination of once again opposing the tremendons odds that is likely to be sent against her. Already large Austro-German forces are concentrated to the porth- west of Servit with the view, apparently, to an almost immediate ffensive movement on this plucky little country. The. Teutons, mind ful of the smashing defeats inflict- ed upon the forces that have previously attempted to over mn Herbin have found it advisable to completely change their tactics and {have now decided to try to form their way into Serbia via Bulgaria.
