BIG OFFENSIVE WILL START SOON Activities in Macedonia Are Antici- pated Toward End of This Month. SERB ARMY IN POOR CONDITION (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Saloniki, June 19.—The allied of- fensive in Macedona, originally scheduled for mid-May and postponed on account of the condition of the Serbian army on its arrival in Corfu, is now confidently anticipated towards the end of Jvne. or ‘at the latest, early in July. 1 The activities of the Bulgarians east of the Struma the last week and a gradually increasing extension of Cartillery operations have led to the _agsumption from time to time that f, Ger:ral Sarrails' plans might be hastened, and the allied attack begun .at once. This is possible, but the general opinion is that the activities of the Bulgarians are merely in the nature of taking up the slack in their line and that they will not precipitate " an attack. The outbreak of cholera among the Serbians on their arrival on Corfu I proved a mixed disadvantage. It made their transport to Saloniki in time to pa :c,ilpatt in an offensive in * May impossible. ‘a firelt many more Serbs died than wil | nutrition: and sheer exhaustion Serbs in'a Bad Way. ania than had been suppose dead or too worn by ti sibl | scheduled for mid-summer.
