"Deeply echeloned British infantry,
aided by a large number of tanks,

assaults that the British were able to
gain ground in the direction of Bour

the British renewed their assault
north of the bapaume-Cambria road
with a large number of tanks. Ger
man forces there withdrew, fight

her neutrality the whole of Mace
donia, including Uskub, Monastir and
Ochrida. A still greater territorial
expansion at the expense of Serbia
was said to have been offered as a
condition of active military assist
ance.
loiiff on "Fence"
During the period of Bulgarian
neutrality both the Entente alliance
nnd the Central Powers had made
oiTors to Bulgaria, and Russia, whs
for years had protected Bulgarian
interests, sent an ultimatum to Bul
garia early in October, 1915. Bul
garia refused the Russian demands.
The Bulgarian manifesto said Bul
garia did not believe in the promises
of the Entente and that "Bulgaria
must fight at the victor's side." It
was reported at that time and never
denied authoritatively, that a secret
treaty had been signed between Bul
garia and Germany concerning Bul
garian participation in the war on
July 17. 1915.
Bulgaria was invaded by British
troops at a point north of Salonik)
and on September 27 Genera'
Franchet d'Esperey, the Allied gen
eralisslmo, announced that he hat
received from the Bulgarian govern
mcnt a proposal that military opoi
tlons be suspended pending negotia
tions for an armistic. Pending dis
cussion of the Bulgarian proposal by
the Allied governments the French
general satel he would not stop fight
ing but would receive representatives
of the Bulgarian army. The Bul
garian representatives reached Sni
onlkl Saturday and negotiations
were opened Sunday.
On Allied Terms
As the armistice has been ar
ranged on terms laid down by the
Allies, it is probable that it calls for
the occupation of Bulgaria by Allied
troops with the assistance of the Bul
garian government. Bulgaria prob
ably will be compelled to break off
all communication with the Centra!
Powers and also withdraw her arm
ies from Serbia, Greece, Rumania
and other war theaters.
Before the Allied troops can take
over the occupation of Bulgaria, it
is not unlikely that the Bulgarian
military party and Germany and
Austria will make determined -floats
to keep Bulgaria in the Teutonic al
liance, because the secession of Bul
garia would mean the collapse of
German alms in Turkey and the near
East, the probable elimination of
Turkey front the war. and the recon
struction of the eastern front with
Rumania taking a leading part.
Bulgars Blame Kaiser
It has been reported that Bulgaria
•blamed Germany for her defeat in
Macedonia because the Germans had
not sent reinforcements promptly.
Since the announcement that Bul
garia had proposed an armistice, re
ports have come out of Germany
that Teutonic troops were being hur
ried to Bulgaria. Through Switzer
land It was reported Sunday that
German troops v.ore being with
drawn from Rumania. Their desti
nation was not given, but it is prob
able thev are being moved across the
frontier Into Bulgaria. Germany not
unlikely will make a strong attempt
to keep control of the railroad from
Berlin to Constantinople, which runs
through Sofia.
Turkey Endangered
Bulgaria's withdrawal from the
Teutonic alliance not only would
place Turkey in a perilous position
hut would free Serbia and the south
ern bank'of the Danube, from which
the Allied troops could advance into
Austria-Hungary, where the political
and economic situation has been
causing the government much trou
ble. From the Allied standpoint the
occupation of Bulgaria by (Allied sol
diers probably would n}*an more
than the defection of Ifissia has
meant.
There is a strong pjro-Entente
party in Bulgaria and fits leaders
seemingly would seize tie present
opportunity to oppose m'fe strongly
the German party ther* probably
leading to a revolt dkainst the

morning. Forty-eight hours before

naa maintained a terrific fire against

ten hours of this bombardment gas
shells by the thousands were hurled
against the Germans causing a com

troops, shouting "Lusitania," ad

did dash.
Tanks Go Ahead
A large number of tanks went out
with the first wave being directed
against a front of siv thousand yartf3
south of Vendhuile, where the St

nel.
.' 'jsitg the Vendhuile gap as a
bridge, the Americans stormed for
ward, deploying fan-wise as they
went- One British division swant
across the canal. Then under steady
machine gun fire they pushed for
ward into the village of Bellenglise.
At 9 o'clock the prisoners were
streaming tack in droves. By this
time the first phase of the attack had
ended, and after a pause the advance
was resumed.
Yankees Too Fast
The none of the most dramatic in-1
fidents of the battle occurred. The
Americans, tired and besplashed, but
in hearty spirits, opened their ranks
and Australian units, moving up in
support, swept through them and
became tho first wave of the renew
ed attack. The storm of cheering
that greeted this maneuver rose high
above the roar of conflict.
There was hard fighting at many
places where the Germans had es
tablished redoubts of extraordinary
strength. American battalions, which
advanced so rapidly at first that some
were checked by their own barrage
lire, met wit hstrong resistance. An
immensely strong machine gun posi

tanks.

appears to be quite new.
