These places were occupied by the French, while the Brit ffih captured a part of the village of Ginchy and gained total posession of Guiliemont. Thus the advance of the entente allies Is closing In on Comble3, which at present is a powerfully fortified German stronghold. Germans returned to their attack in the Verdun sector, sending large forces of infantry against the French positions at Vaux and Chapitze, and, after heavy fighting, gained a foothold In one of the French salients. At all points the fighting continues with the utmost ferocity. " In the Balkans, German and Bulgarian troops already have crossed the Doberudja frontier, in southeastern Romania, doubtless with the object of preventing the advancing of Russians into Bulgaria and to Constantinople. Furious battles are in progress between Russian and Austroderman forces in Galicia, near Lemberg. Berlin reports repulse of Russians, but Petrograd declares the Teutons have been driven from fortified positions and that several heights have been captured. Great Britain and France have sent A note to the Greek government demanding control over the Greek posts and telegraphs and insisting upon the deportation from --Greece of agents of the central powers. Dispatches from Athens say it is understood that the Greek government will make no objection to the acceptances of these demands. Entente allied reports from the Greek capital indicate the early announcement of an Important change in the attitude of Greece.

This was In Macedonia. The line of an armys march Is not pleasant to look upon even though the people along it had not much to lose. The pi nth of tuffering Is very real even if, as in the Balkans, folk have grepvn used to It. There are twh pinin marks by which you may recognize the path of war in a land of farmers. The one Is the charred vGiage, with Its whitewashed stone walls blackened by fire. The other Is the presence here and there In the plowed fields of three poles fastened together at the top, and from the crotch a bnby suspended just high enough to baflle Inquisitive dogs or goats. Somewhere In the field, anywhere In the Balkan valleys In May, you will see one woman driving or leading a bullock or a buffalo, while another behind her holds the plow. The ten are In the army or else they were there. The memory I shall longest hold of Montenegro la st picture taken by my guide, Antonio Relnwein, of this land of stony graves, of the resolute people of the limestone crags who have never done homage to the Turks nor to any other outside power. It will be remembered that all these Balkan folk were for years under the dominion of the Turk, and that none of them have been free for half a century. Tbe Turk was most acceptable when he was asleep. When he was awake, he had his own Ideas of Union and Progress." Union meant uniformity. A nation should have one ruler, one flag, one religion, one language. Progress was his way of bringing about this condition. This was by And as the actual Turks were few in number, ruling over an empire of Slavs, Greeks, Italians, Jews, Armenians, Albanians, Kurds, Egyptians, Moors and .Arabs, It demanded eternal vigilance to keep them all In a state of union and progress. These people have had constantly before them the choice cf revolt, conversion, assimilation, banishment and massacre. And at one time or another. some of each race have chosen each one of ihese, often two or three of them at once. Meanwhile, following the wicked lead of Bismarck and Disraeli, Europe has kept the Turk alive, because from financiers In each nation, the Ottoman sultan of money. pa borrowed considerable sums Macedonia lies along the southern Biopes of the Balkan peninsula. It is a fertile region crossed by ehntna of rounded mountains, with green valleys and swift streams. In physical conditions not unlike the south of France. It has 15,000 square miles of territory.

The effect of Intolerance, worst In Greece, bad enough everywhere, wms to drive out of each nation ail who belonged to the wrong language or religion. I do not suy race, for they are all of the same general stock, even the bulk of the "Turks" and Greeks. This has filled the region with refugees, men and women whose fault is that they lived on the wrong side of the boundaries made for them In the treaty of Bucharest Passing down the long highway which leads over 200 miles from Sofia to Samokov and Dubnttza In old Bulgaria, then across the border of Macedonia, down the Struma river past Dzumaia to Petritch, we found everywhere the Bulgarian refugees from the Saionikl district In Greek Macedonia. These have been roughly estimated at CO, 000 in number,. Some of these have been given fnrmS or houses abandoned in Macedonia by Turks who followed the Turkish army away. Others received farms left by Greeks wlien.the Greeluanny went back , after the treaty of Bucharest The government grants each person some fourpence a day. Some find work, but after tine war there are few employers, The cost of living has doubled, the means of living has fallen. At Petritch, near the present boundary of Greece, there were hundreds of these' waiting about on the stone sidewalks day by day., They were waiting for the powers to revise the treaty of Bucharest and give, them back their homes in the region above Saionikl. Some local Journal had sald(that this revision was corning soon. It was my duty to assure them that it would j never come. The phrase la Sofia, Europe exists no more," Is the truth so tar as Balkan affairs are concerned. The reason for that Is clearer now. Europe was paralyzed by the- great terror wrhich has since come on it in an unthinkable catastrophe. There were some In the concert of powers, who were striving to bring on this catastrophe, . The war of steel and gold" was about to give place to real war, which would end. they hoped. In speedy victory and world power. It has not ended in that way. It has not yet ended at all. But those who most looked forward to war were the ones who had least conception of Us certain consequences. In the whole, length of the Strunm valley la western Macedonia, towns have been burned In whole or part by the 'Greek army which pursued the Bulgarian as far as the old border of Bulgaria. In Greek Macedonia, at the hands of zome one or all of the three successive armies Turkish, Bulgarian and Greek most of the towns between Saionikl and Drama have suffered the same fate. Each of these towns has now its share of Greek refugees from Turkish Thrace.
