Show ; GAINS EVERYWHERE. . Tlie Serbians are achieving remarkable remark-able success in their offensive in Macedonia, Mace-donia, having advanced twenty-five miles in a single day. It is a labor much to the liking of King Peter's little lit-tle army, every soldier remembering the wrongs inflicted upon his unhappy eoun-j eoun-j try. his own individual sufferings and I the privations his family has been compelled com-pelled to endure if still in the land of the,, living. In the early days of the I war it is recalled that the Serbians ! drove the Austrians before them pell-mell. pell-mell. ,but were finally overwhelmed by : vastly superior numbers. This time, 1 ith the French and English back of ! them, and being amply supplied with foori and munitions of war. it is not probable the Serbians will lose a single sin-gle foot of ground ihey have gained, and it may be they will carry the war into Bulgaria before the present offensive of-fensive ends. In any event, they are making a partial payment on a longstanding long-standing account. The British and French are taking part in the great drive in Macedonia, and the former, aided by the Greeks, are pounding the enemy without mercy. Evidently so great a movement was not expected by the Hun chieftains, for they seem to have been caught unawares. On the French front favorab'e progress prog-ress is being made. Field Marshal Haig and General Petain are vigorously push-irg push-irg the ailied offensive and making gains-, in the face of desperate and repeated re-peated counter-attacks.' It is almost certain that both St. Qucntin and Catn-b:ai Catn-b:ai wilL soon fall, and the Germans be compelled to retire to a new line of defense. de-fense. The American troops are exchanging ex-changing shots w-ith the enemy in the vicinity of Metz, but there is a hill j in the drive in this sector. The week j has been auspiciously begun on all the j allied fronts, and. while there may be 1 a slowing up in the course of a few j days, it is certain that the i-entral jow- I ers are not strong enough to deliver a counter-attack with any great amount of force behind it. and that the towDS j taken will be held.
