'In the.House of Commons,, Mr. Balfd^r, dealing with the Balkans question, declared that he was confident the German schemes for expansion through the Balkans and , Asia Minor to the Persian Gulf and beyond would be defeated. The Government was confident that the hopes for the restoration and glorious, future of Serbia would be finally and-adequately fulfilled. He trusted there would be military activities in the Balkans, but the difficulties were very great and operations comparable with those on the West Front were improbable in the immediate future. Mr. Balfour assured the House--that the Allies were giving attention to the question of increas>.'ing' land transport from Salonika.
