GERMAN CHANCELLOR REVIEWS THE CAMPAIGNS

: The Balkans theatre is still the main centre o£ interest. The attention is diverted by this morning's cablegrams from the political tangle to important military events on the Anglo-French front, which have developed into a- strong Bv.lgar attack on the' British line, so strong, numerically, that our front has had to be readjusted by a retirement, effected with comparatively small loss; the enemy's" losseo from our artillery fire is'stated to have been severe. The Bulgarian offensive on our lin& has spent itself, broken by our solid resistance and fierce artillery fire, but heavy fighting is still proceeding at certain points on the French front. Uncensored dispatches which hav,e eluded the vigilance of the Greek authorities have reache'd London, and the whole tenor of the reports is as if . King Constantino had never spoken. j\n extensive system of espionage has been established by the Germans in Greece, and this, coupled with Greek treacheTy, has facilitated the development of submarine operations in the Straits of Messina, the Aegean, Adriatic, and the Mediterranean gonerally. Lloyd's war.risks on Mediterranean vessels has advanced 40 percent. There are further reports of intriguing in Persia, and the current of Hun corruption is stated to have flowed on to Afghanistan and India. The German Chancellor (Herr von.Bethmann Holhveg) has delivered a statement of the progress of the war (according to Germany) in the Reichstag.
