This is a sad state of affairs, but the cause of the failures should be placed where they belong. W'hen failures are so general that seven out of every 10 candidates are plucked, we hesi- late to believe that the teachers at fault.

TRAINING FOR BUSINESS FURY A FARM GIRL PERSONAL The, Allied plan, as the outsider sees it, is a simple one. The task of breaking through the German lines in the West or in northern Russia is truly formidable. Ger- many must be outflanked, and that can be done only through Austria. But Austria, too, backed by Ger- man forces, will fight desperately in the face of the dismemberment which now threatens her. There- fore, it is necessary for the Allies to bring overwhelming pressure. to bear on Austria. Therefore, it is necessary for the Allies to clear up all subsidiary operations, to forge the iron ring [as tight as may be before .settling d'aOWn for the final, prolonged test. This means that Turkey and Bulgaria must oe first disposed of. The Allies may stand. on the defensive elsewnere while cleaning up- in the Balkans. It is against Bulgaria that the first blow should be struck by the Russo-Rumanian forces from the north in conjunction with the army from Saionica. And. Bulgaria would only be the prelude to Constantin- Op-le. We know now from Russia's show of unlimited. human resourc- es what the opening of the Darâ€" vdaneiles would mean with a new door of sup-plies for the Czar.) armies. With Constantinople taken. Bulgaria silenced, or possibly Won over to the Entente, and Grew»;- ioining in, as she is almost certain to do in any case, nearly a million and a half rmen could be thx‘own against Austria from the south. and the final push would be begun. Looking to the Balkans as the scene of principal operations, a parallel With the situation in the second Balkan war of 1.913 at once ,suogests itself. In that year Bul- garia found herself beset by Serbs, Greeks, Rumanians and Turks. In rough numbers, she had 300.000 men with which to face three-quarters of a million. Conâ€" ditions Were so hopeless that Bul- garia gave in and accepted the. humiliating treaty of Bucharest. To-day Bulgaria may have 200,000 Turks and 1:30.000 Austr(_)-Grerm.ans to help her: a total of not more than 700, 000 men. She has to face an army of half a million from Salonica, 400,000 Rumanizins and Russians, and probably 200,000 Greeks. This is the minimum: the Salonica army may be larger b: 100,000 men; and there is no estim- ating the strength which Russia may pour forth across the Danube. The Central Powers in the Balkans are thus outnumbered two to one. and the odds may be expected to increase as the pressure against European Turkev relie\ es all posâ€" sibility of a threat against Egypt and so release the large ion 5 stored up in that country. Some such deliberate and cau- tious process must now be the Allied plan.

THE DURHAM CHRONICLE. a .soberer appraisal of the for- midable nature of the task. How far ahead the Allies are now plan- ning appears from the slow gath- ering of the army at Salonica in preparation for "iust such an eventuality as has come to pass. .Germany is to be outflanked ,through Austria. The latter is to ‘be outflanked through the Balâ€" kans. And this last operation, :while pursuing the final purpose Eof a victory over Germany, offers the advantage of immediate re- wards. It is patent that a threat ' against Constantinople would weaken Turkish resistance in Asia ' Minor and throw great slices of . territory into Russia’s possession. Added to Whatever direct gains ’ the Allies make in the Balkans, the l ;Entente Powers. even before they begin the final .drive against Au- stria, will {have in their hands . compensation for the lands now 1 l held by the German armies in the ‘VeSL and. in Russia. By Bethmann- Hollweg’s own test of arguing from the war-map, the outlook for the Central Powers will not be a cheerful one.
