Since the advance through Serbia was halt- ed, and the city of Monastir was re captured by a counterdffensive there has been little or no hard fighting on this front. Both sides have had am- ple time to complete substantial dee fence systems, equalling the German front prior to the battle of the Somme. There has been what seem- ed like a deadlock, but what has real- ly beén a time of feverish reparation for active hostilities. And the time! for actjon is almost ripe. The com-| ing spring and summer should see! great activity all along the Balkan front. And in this activity are well- founded hopes for an Allied victory, Although this theatre of war is so far removed from the real bases, | which 'are Britain and France, and in| spite of the tremendous difficulties of | transportation, the Allies have at last secured a big superibrity in men and materials. This is partly 'due to the large army of (Greeks which are now in the field. There is now avail- able a fresh Greek army of 400,000 soldiers, ready to take part in any action on this part of the far-flung battle-line. - In addition there is a (strong, splendidly-equipped force 'of | Serbians, and an army of French and British soldiers which bring the to- ful Allied forces in the Balkaws up to 1,200,000 men, Thus what was at first a small expeditionary force de-| signéd to give more moral than ma-! terial support to the Serbian, has de-| veloped int6 a huge Rghting force.
