: _racrsx : A TEVTONKC BLUFF TALK OF SMASH THROUGH SER- BIA AND BULGARIA. Is Regarded, as Such--The Balkan States Would Resist Any Invasion By the Ausfro-Germans. London, Sépt 1 The Daily Chronicle's diplomatic correspondent says . "It would be only fulfilling the malicious intentions of the central powers to accept the present military demonstration on the frontiers of Serbia and Roumania at fits face value.' Its purpose in the most fa- vorable circumstances must be more political than military. The ex- pense of the suggested Germarnplan to break throggh Serbia and Bulga- ria to Constafiinople, even if it proved successful, which is decidedly improbable, . would be out of all pro portion to the military value of the | achievement. Any fresh attack on Serbia will certainly recreate the Balkan League, and such a contin- gency--bringing into action against | the Teutonic powers over 1,250,000 men--German diplomacy cannot pos- sibly contemplate. . "It seems most likely, as a relia- ble authority remarked yesterday, that the latest military move on the part of Austria and Germany is in- tended doubly as a sinister support of the political projects their agents are assiduously advancing in Sofia and as a further menace to Rouma- nia. Meanwhile the last-named state, I learn from a well-informed source, is steadfastly rejecting alter- nately coercive and conciliatory ad- | vances made by Germany concerning the transport of munitions to Tur- | key. The Roumanian army, which would certainly co-operate with the other Balkan States in resisting the German invasion of Serbia and Bul- 'garia, numbers nearly 600,000 men, and may be relied<upon to render a vigorous account of itself." Medicine and the War. "On the whole, at the end of th first year of the war, medicine found to have acquitted itself well," says the London "Lancet." "There has been an absence of epidemic sickness, and there has been on cat-| astrophe from sanitary faults. On the principle that lives saved are] lives gained, the efficiency of the! medical service has meant 8 gain of many lives to the belligerent armies. In France, the care of the wounded behind the lines has steadily improv- ed, and the experience which h been gained of unfamiliar diseases and conditions, such as tetanus and gas gangrene, will be of the greatest | value in the future. There have been several smart epidemics of ty- phoid, but neither in the English, French or Belgian ranks was the dis- ease ever allowed to make grave headway. During the winter there was much suffering from exposure, but the chief cause of disability was "trench foot." There was less pneu- monia and rheumatism than expect- ed. "Concerning the Russian medical service, the information is most sat- isfactory, though some apprehension was at first feit about it. The diffi- culty was not the personnel, but the distances. But the dewption of vol- untary effort and civilian medical men have overridden the difficulties; the organization has been excellent, and the Russian army has been able to show a good bill of health through a terrible yedr. "The story of Servia Is a triumph of preventive medicine, and the United States and England between them may lay claim to the credit. None of the stories of the terrible | plight of the Servians from typhus exaggerates the state of things. But | the grip ef. the disease hus beon nade { to relax, and the medical outlook is . mow hopeful." . : -------------- What Liberalism Doesn't Stand For, London Advertiser.
