The Serbians, be it noted in this context, are not

the only people who are likely to be threatened in the rear. The Russians, deeply moved by the perfidy and ingratitude of the Bulgarians, or rather of those who represent them at the present time, are putting forth all their energies and are landing a large force in Bulgaria. At the same time, the British and the French are making ready at Salonika to strike at those who are striking Serbia. The strategic pundits are urging us not to dissipate our military energy in little packets—very sound abstract advice. But those who argue thus forget that this is very largely what the Germans are doing, and that in conforming to the example thus set us we are running lees risk than really appears.
