THE BALKANS.
TWO DIVISIONS SHORT. WHAT SARRAIL MIGHT HAVE DONE WHEN MONASTIR FELL. Received March 8, 10.30 p.m. Palis, March 8. Deputy Chaippedlaine, who was sent on a mission to Salonika by the Foreign Affairs Committee, states that if General Sarrail had had two more divisions when Monaster fell he would have gone to Uskuh, liberating half of Serbia and threatening the high road to Constantinople. However, gigantic work had been accomplished. The enemy had now been reinforced. He urges that the bloclihde of the Otranto Channel should be completed, and that the road to Santi Quaranta and Monaativ should be finished, thus enabling troops and material to be brought up more quickly. He concludes by stating that a tremendous task confronts the Eastern army.
