LONDON COMMENT ON THE BALKAN ADVANCE London, Sept. 24—The London newspapers this morninz comment on the Balkan advance as an astounding achievement and a more surprising ons than General ~Allenby's operation in Palestine. The Bulgarian’ front had proved it- self impenetrable so often that the first news of the attack a week ago aroused no eager ‘expectation. The topographical difficulties had been so repeatedly explained mountain ranges twisting. ang doubling up on each other in bewildering fashion; the lack of roads and the existence of in- numerable deep ravines—that the peo- ple here had come to regard the pos- sibilities of this front limited. Now, in view of the happenings of the pasi few days and the immenes losses the will be difficult for the Bulgarian.army, with its base at Prilep to escape a big disaster. i “The Serbians have performed one of the most wonderful feats in military history, a deed comparable to the reaking of the Wotan line,” says the Daily Mail. “They have stormed po- sitions which ‘many of the allied ex- perts regarded imvreégnable.” FIRE IN-NEW WILLARD HOTEL, WASHINGTON Washington, Sept. 24.—Fire early this morning damaged the New Willard hotel' and sent the ‘thousand:or more Zuests hurrying to the street in Scanty attire.
