London, Oct. 20.--The Allies will reach Constantinople before the AusH tro-Germans, whether gr not the lat- ter succeed in capturing Nish, the temporary capital of Serbia., territory and soldiers of Serbia form on.y a first line of defence against ental ally, and even should Serbia he overrun by the invading forces of Field Marshal von Mackensén and of King Ferdinand of Bulggsia, they stil" will find themselves 'before the! second and even more formidable barrier of 'a great. Ententé army, which before that time will, it is be- lieved, have stretched itself north- ward and eastward through Euro- pean Turkey fromi the ports of Dedeaghateh and Enos to the gates of the Ottoman capital. Such, in the opinion expressed in| the best inforthed circles here, is the basic strategy adopted by tente Allies to meet the new military situation in the Near East.

The expedition from Salonika into Serbia will take on the nature of a great divers.on, designed to keep the Bulgarians busy in the same manner! as the Turks will be held in _place by the Dardanelles operations, thus en- suring that no enemy force of ronse- quence can be detached to oppose the advance northward of the main ex- pedition from Enos and Dedeag-| | hatch. ! | On the other hand, should any | considerable force be detached from | the Gallipoli defences, then the Al- | lied forces, on the peninsula will be lin a favorable position to force the heights for which they have been contending since last April. me py imi, | PLAIN TALK TO GREECE, + $ * * - 1 3 (Special to te Whig.) » London, Oct, 20.
