own volition. It is only necessary to compare their losses in prisoners, guns, and material with those incurred in last year's retreat, to recognise the difference between an orderly and regulated movement and one executed under compulsion. With these reservations, the retreat may be said to have been skilfully effected; and there is no evidence of panic except in minor instances, or of any abnormal disorder among the troops. The evidence points to the Germans having, on the whole, fought well-in many instances exceedingly well; and the rapidity of their retreat was due, not to demoralisation, but to the skill which characterised the Allied operations, and to the energy and bravery which animated the Allied troops.
Turning now to the situation in the east, we find that the Allied operations have been of two kinds: the first, offensive, aim at disposing of Germany's minor allies; the second, mainly defensive, are designed for the protection of threatened territory and communications.
The first event to be noticed is the Allied offensive in Macedonia. It had been believed for some time that the Bulgarians, war-weary, jealous of the Turks, and dissatisfied at having been refused the possession of Salonica, were wavering in their allegiance to their German masters. The Greek army, some 150,000 strong, being ready for the field, the occasion seemed ripe for striking a blow which might loosen Germany's grip on Bulgaria and the Balkans. Here, then, the main offensive was opened on Sept. 15 by French and Serbian troops, who attacked the Bulgarians in the frontier region of Dobropolje, east of Monastir, on a front of nine miles, which, by the extension of the flanks, was widened, on Sept. 17, to twenty miles. After three days' heavy fighting, the left wing reached the Tcherna, five miles north of Grunishta, while the right wing captured the heights north of the Gradeshnitza river. German reinforcements were put to flight; and cavalry, thrown forward on the right, approached Prilep. On Sept. 18 a fresh attack was opened on both sides of Lake Doiran, where British and Greek troops gained some ground against stubborn resistance; while the main advance made rapid progress in a northerly direction between
