WADING BULGARIA

WITHIN SIXTY MILES'OF MAIN RAILWAY ' SPLENDID GALLANTRY OF IRISH MIMENTSCOMBLES TO BE HELD AGAINST . THE BRITISH FALMENHAYN'S' DISMISSAL * ' SOME STARTLING REVELATIONS 1 Greek reports state that the Russians have forced the Danube and gained a footing in north-western Bulgaria and in Serbia, within sixty miles of the main railway through tho Balkans, the vital link betweon the Central Empires and the Near and Middle East. There are suggestive reportsh also, indicating that tho Allies in Greece are on the eve of a forward move. Tho Bulgarians allege further successes in the Dobruja, but it is shown that their . " reports aro exaggerated'and generally open to doubt. Greeks are stated to be enrolling in considerable numbers for service against the Bulgars, and the nows is confirmed that a Greek force has occupied some of the.Kavala forts. Further Allied successes aro reported' on the Sonime and at Verdun, and exceptional activities are reported at many points along the British front. Mr. Asquith has returned from a visit to the front; and declares himself satisfied with the conditions and prospects. A report by way of Switzerland alleges that General von Falkenhayn was dismissed because he advocated the abandonment of tho Balkans and the retirement of the Austro-German armies in tho main theatres.
