There is a cheering unanimity about the messages from the Balkan theatre to-day concerning the check to the Austro-German advance in Serbia. The plans of the invaders depended -upon the junctioning of the Teutons with tho Bulgarian army, and the Allies have so far frustrated that critical move. Enormous losses and the lack of reinforcements are given as the reason for the disturbing check to the Teutons, and meanwhile the landing of the Allied troops at Salonika continues, and the French have junctioned with the Serbians. Interesting details of the Allies' bombardment of the Bulgarian Aegean coast show that enormous damage was done. In the Eastern theatre the Russians arc developing their new landing attack on the coast of Courland, while their armies in the south are pursuing their successful career. In the West the enemy for the eighth time in five days has been forced back into his trenches by. the British. The big Italian offensive is progressing favourably.
