ENTENTE REALISATION OF DANGER

THE NEW CENTRE. HINDENBURG CRAVES BUCHAREST. London, Oct, 18, Mr Dillon, in the Daily Telegraph, says : The Entente Powers art; throwing themselves into the Balkan entanglement with praiseworthy zeal and expedition. Their measures have been adopted wholehearted!}' and concernedly, it is clear to dullest comprehension that the war centre lias shifted to the IN ear East. Germany considers the maintenance of commmucations in the Near East so important that she is ready, I as I know, to make peace on the basis of the evacuation of France and Belgium, on condition that she and her confederates arc given a free hand to deal with Russia and the Balkan States. The Allies' preventive measures appear comprehensive. Certainly the position demands immediate and adequate correctives. Hindenbtirg’s objective is undoubtedly Bucharest. He is employing a very considerable number of men. Optimistic calculations concerning the enemy's reserves should ho accepted. Bulgaria alone is raising large armies among her Moslem subjects. General Sarrail is doing remarkably well. He has shown great foresight and will certainly attain bis end, but much time must elapse before he reaches Nish Even Monastir will not fall soon. The enemy' will make ever}’ conceivable effort to stave off such a tremendous blow Jto their prestige. | REPORT FROM SALONIKA. I AFFAIR OF PATROLS. I London, Oct. IC>.
