ALLIED ADVANCE
FROM SALONIKI
. NOT LIKELY
SOFIA, June 3t). — (Correspondence
of the Associated Prcvs.) — In mili
tary quarters at the Macedonian r—>r>'.
j and in political circles here the opln
' Ion Is expressed to the Associated
Press correspondent that while an ■ '
l fonsi
tente fr>n es at Snloniki is not oat
I of the qtteslion, such a manoeuvre
| would lie devoid of all prospect •• of
icer-.s if undertaken wttii fewer than
fifty army corps, or about 2,00 i.aao
men. Thus far the entente allies have
brought to Snloniki about 5,50,000 i r
fectives. With the addition of ion,.
000 Serbians the entente < mtingent
would still he below a half million
men, a force considered here as boin
entirely Inadequate to undertake the
rehabilitation of Serbia.
The terrain difficulties which the
entente troops would be obliged to
overcome are regarded us enormous.
In all cases the entente troops would
have to fight uphill. One or two ad
mittedly weak points in the Bulgaro
Austro-Oerman line are amply covered
by stronger positions immediately in
the rear, it Is stated to the correspon
dent, so that a falling back would be
an entirely strategical affair.
The Macedonian defence line runs
in the main ns follows: In the east It
has the Cengel Dagh as its extreme
point of support. These mountains
|are from 4,500 to 4,80ti feet high, rug
ged and precipitous towards the south,
the direction of attack. Then comes
the narrow valley of Struma, the de
fense of which can he carried out from
j tilt! foothills of Bolashitza Planina.
j West of this valley lies the mountain
I chain named, a single high crest some
j forty kilometers long, running due
west. South of the range in question
lies the valley and lake of Dolran, and
slightl} to the northwest of the Doi
ran and Vardar valleys the Blugusha
Planina, in which the Anglo French
troops were defeated in the battle of
KoSturino in November, 1815.
The remainder of the line consists
of the Fndjah, Marianska, Blatec, N'id
she, Dobropolje Planiuas and their
connecting crests. Then comes the
valley of the Karasu river, southeast
of Monastir, a terrain which so far
has not interested the entente troops
very much. The Suhagora mountains
and Malo and Prespa lakes adjoin the
very difficult mountain country of
southeastern Albania.
j < uoiuiri unco kji ow» uuv d ui iuc ci
tente troops are the Vardar valley and
the country about Doiran; the valley
of the Karasu river, upon Monastir;
and lastly the valley of the Struma.
Only the first named comes into con
sideration, however. To reach the
Struma, the Greek government would
have to place at the disposal of the
entente troops the railroad line to
Demir Hissar; and to advance towards
Monastir the railroad to that point
would have to be used.
The present entente line is purely
defensive. Its center is at Kukush,
i in Greece, thirty-five kilometers from
[,ake Doiran. From there it sweeps
j in an arc towards the Vardar valley,
where at the closest point of contact
| the lines of the two opposing forces
are still 3,000 yards from one another,
j This peculiar line of the entente
i j troops was established to prevent a
( surprise by the Bulgaro-Germans. In
some quarters the view is held that
i | it was dictated by a concentration
| rearward, due to the transfer to
I France of considerable French forces.
Since the country between Kukush
end the Buign;o*German front is open
the entente troops would have little
difficulty advancing to the opponent’s
lines. The situation lias permitted the
establishment of a line of entrench
ments by the Bulgaro-Germans that
may be said to have its equal only
in the western theatre of war.
In reviewing the chances of the en
tente troops to drive the Buigaro
Austro-Germans out of Macedonia and
Serbia, Bulgarian and German offi
cers argue that what 400,000 Serbian
troops could not do on the defensive
cannot be undertaken by the entente
troops on the offensive unle'ss an
army of two million Is employed.
The Serbian army, despite its num
bers and heroic conduct, failed to pre
vent Serbian falling entirely into the
hands of the central armies. This
was due in part to the great flank ^
attack executed by the Bugarians, j
which endangered the Serbian army
constantly. Entente forces advanc-l
ing north would have to count with.
the same handicap, it is pointed out,'
%
and for this reason no offensive from 1
Salonikl con he successful. It is
claimed, unless the entente govern
ments are ready to employ the large j
i forces named.
Opinion is expressed here that the
| < etitral group of helligorents must ul
1 tiinately clear Salonikl of its foreign
! garrison, cither with or without the
, correct of t;recce. Since flreeee rea-j
, lira th it her Macedonian possessions |
| vill he placed In Jeopardy if the ccn-|
oral power troops eject the entente
forces from Salonikl and Its hinter
land. it is easily conceivable, accord
ing to w"II Informed circles here, that
the closing chapter of the Balkan op
eratlon ; will contain the fact that the
(Jreok troops assisted in removing the
Anglo-French forces from Salonikl.
THE AZORES
LISBON', June 13. — The last of the
Germans ordered expelled under the
•decree 01 the government have left
Portugal. Those who are to be In
terned are on their way Jo the is
land of Terceira, one of the Azores
group. This island has been placed
under the military command of the
governor of the Azores and he has
adopted the measures necessary to
maintain order there.
The ministry of foreign affairs and
the police officers have for some days
been devoting their entire attention
| to Germans in distress. Germans anx
1 ious to deny their Teutonic national
! lty, Portuguese women married to
(Germans, and hence affected by the
I governmental decree, and aged Ger
| man women who have for years been
(employed as servants In Portuguese;;
| families.
W ith the Germans, a great many :
Austrians and Turks have been ex- 1
polled. Large and important firms'
have been forced to discontinue busi-j
ness and a numbef or factories have
closed.
Discovery has been made of faulty j
machinery on some of the German!
steamships which the government re- ■
quisitioned. Machine experts and op !
eratives have reached here from Eng
land to effect repairs, and a British!
naval mission and other British gov
ernment representatives have arrived.

21 ART TREASURES TC
COME TO AMERICA
BERLIN, June 14 — The war will
probably lead to the further transfer
>f Europe's art treasures to the
Pnitcd States, In the opinion of Prof.
Wilhelm von Bode, general director
>f the Royal Museums at Berlin.
I’rof. von Bode gives several reasons;
hat the war is making a great in
’rease in the wealth of many Amert
ans; and that the breaking up of
e-veral of the great private roller
ions iri America, including that fit the
ate J. P. Morgan, and the acquisition
if many of their choicest pictures by
public art museums, will tend strong
[y to develop the demand for good
irt works. Prof. Bode declares that
n this way the public collections of
\'cw York, Boston, Washington and
f *
Chicago, together with dozens of elt
'ies not yet Identified with art in an
international sense, will become fully
equal to those of European cities.
Tills fresh demand for art works In
the United States, Prof 15 >de says,
will strike Europe at a time when peo
ple cin this'side will he forced to sell
■ in order to get money to pay their
| debts. Many fine old pi fur s now
j owned by private collectors in Europe,
' and particularly in Engl nd, w ill in
j this way find their way a< toss the At
! lantlc, he thinks.
