Lonji Eastern Front.
LONDON, Oct. 22. Serbia's mili
tary position la critical. Hammered
by superior forces on two sides, her
nrnilos aro thrcntcned -with being
crushed as no army has been crushed
during tho war.
Not only aro thesd facts admitted
In England, Franco and Russia, but
thoy aro reflected In official Serbian
statements. Tho key to escapo from
this situation Is tho speed with which
Franco and England can throw forces
north from Salonlkl, In tho hopo of
relieving prcssuro from tho Austrlans
and Germans In tho north and tho
Unitarians In tho cast.
Tho Ilulgarlans aro now buttling
under tho eyes of King Ferdinand.
Notwithstanding tho presumably su
perior artillery of tho Austrlans and
Oorninns, it Is tho flank nttack by tho
liulgarlans which scents tho most
menacing to tho Serbians. At fow
places aro tho Teutons as much as
twenty miles Bouth of tho Danube In
fact tho ground gained nvcrages a
depth of only ton miles. Tho liulgar
lans, for thulr part, nro displaying
trcmondotis energy, Indicative of caro.
fully laid plans preceding tho decla
ration of war. With twenty miles of
tho NiHh-Salonlki railway In their
hands, they liava n strategic advan
tage which It will bo difficult to over
do mo.
Tho movement of entente troops
from Salonlkl aro still unknown to
tho public, but If any considerable
force has been detailed for tho task
of doing for Serbia what Kngland at
tempted to do for Belgium, it must
bo heard from soon.
From Sofia and Salonlkl como do-
tilaln that tho llulgarlatiH havo lost
SlruinlUn. This moans that Bulgar
ian soil Is Htlll frco from invasion.
It Is reported that Turkish cavalry Is
co-operating with tho Ilulgarlans, mid
that a groat battle Is raging at tho
Macedonian town of Volozo, whoro
tho Sorbs won a victory over tho
Turks In tho nalkan war of 1912.
According to an unofficial report tho
Bulgarians havo taken tho town.
Crccco still hosltatos. England's
offer of Cyprus and, according to re
port, a consldcrablo extension of
(iri'ok territory along tho Aogean sen,
and of colon loo In Asia, havo brought
no outward ohango In tho situation.
On most of tho long eastern front
tho Russians seem to bo In tho as
cendancy, but both I'otrograd and
Berlin omphaslzo tho Increasing dan
ger of Riga's position. Front tho
southwest tho Germans nro Hearing
tho village- of Ola!, which is only 12
in II oa from Riga. Thoy nro also In
creasing their hold along tho Dvlna
river, to tho southeast of tho city, be
ing In that quarter within eight miles
of tholr goal. Tho Russians assert
that Gorma attacks In tho region of
Olal wero repulsed but tho Germans
aro bombarding tho Rlgu-Dvlnsk
railway beyond tho Dvlna, Interfering
with tho forwarding of Russian rein
forcomonts. According to dispatches front
Christiana, tho Russian port of Arch
angel already has been closed by Ice.
If this Is true, Russia -will bo depriv
ed of this moans, of bringing In sup
plies, unless lco broakers aro ablo to
work successfully.
