Invasion of Serbia.
The real Invasion of Serbia started
in the first days of October. A great
diplomatic battle had been fought in
Sofia, and the allies had lost. On Oc-
tober 7 Bulgaria In an ultimatum to
King Peter of Serbia, peremptorily de-
manded the Immediate cession of the
Macedonian lands in dispute between
the two countries and then in the pos-
session of the Serbs.
After a general bombardment the
Teutons crossed the river boundaries
of Serbia in many places on October 8.
Two days later they occupied Bel-
grade. On the thirteenth Bulgaria in-
vaded her neighbor at three points.
The successes of the Teutons and the
Bulgarians were almost unbroken. The
Invading forces consisted of a vast
amount of heavy artillery, with small
Infantry supporting forces. They
shelled the Serbians out of position
after position in an avalanche of steel
to which the Serbians could make no
reply.
Small forces of French and English
landed at Saloniki, a Greek port to

leges, and did something to cover the

4,500 square miles. Great Britain
boests five million men in her army
and navy. France fights as strongly as
ever. Italy is increasing her formi-
dableness.
Austria appears to be losing heart
and efficiency. Bulgaria refuses to
send re-enforcements to the west or

offensive power.

ally penetrated to within seven miles

man officers directing them, adminis-
tered a defeat and the invaders fell
back with the enemy harassing them
to the town of Kut-el-Amara, where
they were besieged December 10.

Germany and Austria both feel the
pinch of hunger. Their armies are
sufficiently fed, but their industrial
workers complain of lack of nourish-
ment. The present harvest is watched
with anxiety, and if it falls or is only
of fair size, famine will stalk Into the
situation next spring, or earlier.
Germany Seeks "Reasonable Peace:"
The German chancellor three times
in the reichstag has offered peace to
the entente. On account of this, for-
midable opposition has arisen to him
at home, although he Is the kaiser's
"other self." His friends are rallying
to his defense, and on August 1 of the
present year begins the curious coun-
try-wide lecture campaign to prepare
tho minds of the hitherto docile Ger-
man people for a "reasonable peace."
Meanwhile, with the sky brightening,
the entente allies reaffirm their resolu-
tion, taken In the dark hours of last
winter, never to cease their efforts till
Germany Is crushed. The Teutons not
only must be beaten In war, according
to the allied formula, but must be re-
pressed economically for many years
after the signing of a treaty of peace.
On August 1, 1915, the Germans and
Austrlans were In the midst of their
brilliant campaign against Russia. The
"pincers" were closing In Irresistibly.

and sWamps assisting the Turks, and
on April 30 the 12,000 defenders of
Kut capitulated by order of the Brit-
ish higher command.
A further British humiliation was
the evacuation of Gallipoll peninsula,
where the British held on doggedly
month after month, losing perhaps
200,000 men, until they were finally
withdrawn in confession of failure the
first week of January.
These two British fiascos were what
was needed to arouse the sluggish
fighting blood of John Bull. They
finally brought England into the war
fully and uncompromisingly, to the
same extent as the other great pow-
On August 10 Great Britain started
her national register, or census of all
men of fighting age. The result showed
a vast reserve of man power. Certain
sections demanded Immediate con-
scription. but they were not success-
ful. Instead the earl of Derby was
commissioned to start a vast recruit-
ing campaign. This produced a num-
ber of classes of "attested men," who
bound themselves to come Into ihe
ranks with their age groups. But
there were still hundreds of thousands
unreached, and the public began to
see that It was discriminating In favor
of the "slackers" and the cowards.
On December 21 David Lloyd-
George, the minister of munitions and
greatest mnn the war has produced in
Great Britain, declared the country
faced defeat unless greater efforts
were made. A week later he threat-
ened to resign from the cabinet un-

were to be effective. A new war
council, with sll the allies represented,
met In Paris December 7 snd a kind
of International general staff was or-
ganised. It la known that General Jo-
seph Joffre. French commander In
chief since the beginning f the wsr.
and the hero of the battla of the
Ms me, was tha presiding genius. The
effects of the council Were not to be
seen for several months, but now they
are being realised In full measure.
To check a simultaneous allied of-
fensive, which they clearly saw com-
ing. the Teutons decided on two at-
tacks of their own. This follows the
well-known uxlom of German mili-
tary strategy that tho best defense Is
sn energetic attack.
Tho first of these offensive defen-
sives wus the attack on the Freuch
fortress of Verdun, where the works
were subjected to a whirlwind of fire
beginning February 21.—The gains of
the first week were great, and German
critics foretold the collapse of the
French. Two of the defending forts,
Vaux and Douaumont, fell, and Impor-
tant positions were taken west of the
Meuse river us well.
But .Toffre rallied his men In splen
did fashion ami sold each yard of
ground at an awful cost In German
blood. Step by step the crown prince's
men pushed forward, but today they
are still more than two miles from the
ruined fortress town and the resist
ance of the French Is as strong as
ever.
Austrian Drtve Checked.
The second Teutonic offensive was
organized by the Austrlans in the
Trentlno, and they struck in the di-
rection of Vlcenza with the object
of cutting off the northern end of Italy
from the main portion. On May 20.
as the result of several days' vio-
lent artillery fire followed by infantry
rushes, they were able to announce the
capture of 24.600 Italians.
riPiieral Count Cadorna hurried
about a hundred thousand men in mo-
tor cars to the scene, while many more
arrived on foot or trains. Just when
It seemed the Austrlans must reach
the lowlands the counter-attacks were
delivered.
On June 30 Rome announced a splen-
did victory. In bloody fighting the
Austrlans, perhaps weakened by
drafts to bolster up their Russian
front, were driven from peak to peak
almost to where their lines had stood
throughout the winter.
In March the Russians delivered
vast but futile attacks on the Ger-
nn\u front at many points, probably to
distract attention from Verdun. The
Germans seemed to have been lulled
into security by these efforts, which
they probably considered the best the
ozar could do. But the tens of thou-
sands of Muscovite bodies lining the
Germans' barbed wire were but a pat-
ter of rain compared with the storm
that was brewing behind the Russian
lines.
At the beginning of June this storm
broke with full force and, following
the principle of attacking the weakest
point, the Austrlans holding the line
from the marsh district southward
were forced to bear the brunt of it.
Russia's Big Push.
Millions of shells, manufactured
largely in British, Japanese and
American factories, blasted away wire,
trenches, dugonts and observation
points. Then the hordes of Sibe-
rians, Cossacks and others swept
over the field. The Austrialis could
not withstand the impact and they
gave way steadily.
June 6, General Brusiloff announced
the capture of 13,000 Austrlans; June
8, the number for the three succeed-
ing days alone was 43,000, and the
numbers kept mounting until on July
20 General Shoovaieff, Russian min-
ister of war, estimated the number of
Austro-Hungarian prisoners at 270,-
000. The killed and wounded are un-
told, but the number must be large
enough to bring the total loss well
over half a million.
German support was rushed to the
Austrians, but the foe captured Lutsk
and Dubno, and reached the Stokhod
and Lipa rivers in Volhynia; overran
all Bukowina to the Carpathians and
sent patrols of Cossacks into Hungary
to ravage the country.
That the czar is anticipating further
great gains of territory is seen from
Russia's action in mobilizing the
males of the island of Saghalien, Tur-
kestan, and one other district to build
roads, dig trenches and do other work
of organizing the ground won.
Allies' Drive in Somme Region.
Almost a month to a day following
the beginning of the great Russian of-
fensive French and British opened
their drive In the vicinity of the
Somme river. They have gained grad-
ually but steadily, and the official re-
ports assert the losses of the attack-
ers are comparatively small.
It Is also the claim of the allies that
the Franco-British offensive can be
kept up at its present rate Indefinite-
ly, and will not have to be slackened
for lack of shells, guns or men. The
rate of progress is much greater than
the Germans' at Verdun. l ut the coun-
try traversed Is less difficult. On the
other hand, the Verdun assailants
have the advantage of attacking from
the outside of a curve, while the
French and British now attack from
inside the salient they have made in
the line. Meanwhile the Verdun offen-
sive of the Germans continues.
