In the case of the Salonika front the news is

distinctly good. The Serbians and French on the left—that is, in and around Monastir —Jaye been making good progress and taking prisoners, while on the right the British by means of cavalry have reached and cut the Seres line. While such activity is maintained the great de- mands made upon the Bulgarians. to help in Transylvania, and still more in the Dobrudja, cannot be attended to. The Bulgarians could not disengage themselves if they wanted to, and we may be sure that in the case of Monastir the last thing they desire is to give ground. In all probability they would rather be driven out of Sofia than out of this much coveted ancient town.
