NOTES AND COMMENTS
One of the humors of the war' f
there can be any in so terrible a con-
flict --will be found in Mr, Von Wi
gang's account in the New Yo
World of the anxiety of the Germ
fleet for "a "clta11011 e" from the Brit-
ish. The German officer's complain,
we 510 told, at the inaction they a
compelled to endure. They ,aro ,wait-
ing for an 'attack by their enemire"
order to' prove their mettle. But the
British fleet is tamely content with
control of the sea, It has locked tl
German warships. up in port: On
the submarines are footloose, a
they have not accomplished whatw•
expected of them. In such 010011
stances there can be no - fight unless
.one side or the other runs what might
be a fatal risk. The British have t
advantage in numbers, and the Ge
mane in a strong defensive position.
The "dare" of the latter reminds o
of nothing so much as a small bo
perched high on the back yard fens
making faces- at a big boy outside, :
might be magnificent for the British
to accept the "dare;" but it would no '
be war.

Meanwhile, working.00sound prin-
ciples 'of strategy, the British naval
commanders have succeeded in driv-'
ing the German°flag from the high
seas, in protecting the transport of
millions of troops,:in•guard'ing Great
Britain from invasion. In other words,
it has done all, that circumatances`re-
(Paired it to do. Probably it will not
be .found 'relniss if the general .en-
gagement which the Germans so ar.
dently'desire ever takes place. It has
at least not been content with a policy
of inactivity. Having cut Germany
off from eommunieation.from the rest
of the world by the North Sea, it has
begun to complete the circle by ad-
venturing into the Baltic. The activ-
ity of British submarines in those
waters is already severely felt.
While the Admiralty would not be
at present justified in sending war-
ships through a nairow passage
threatening disaster, it is quite pos-
sible that the story of a purpose to
force this passage with ships of light
draft and small tonnage, each carry-
ing one or two heavy guns, is authen-
tie. The plan, whatever it is, ,will
hardly be revealed in advance. But if
the Germans want to come out and
fight they may soon have the op-
portunity in the waters which hitherto
they have dominated,

BULGARS Rt TED
IN SOUTH SERBIA
Serbs, French and British Troops
Took Part in the Engage-
ment.
A 'despatch from London saysz
South of Strumitsa on the Bulgarian
border: there has been sharp fighting
between the French and the Bulgars.
The latter attacked the French posi-
tions, but were repulsed with heavy
losses, According to reports the Bri-
tish arc cooperating there with `the
French, but, as heretofore, these re-
ports are unofficial and fragmentary,
and it cannot be said authoritatively
whether the British were in touch
with their new enemy.
"Official telegrams confirmed at the
Serbian and Russian Legations here
announce a great Serbian victory at
the Babuna Pass. The Bulgarians
were completely routed at Isevore,
suffering 'enormous losses.
"Detachments of British' and
French troops hastened to defeat the
enemy, who was shattered, and fled
in disorder towards Kupili (Velos).
"The right bank of the Vardar is
now cleared of the enemy. The
French also completely defeated the
Bulgarians at Strumitsa, inflicting
heavy losses on them and driving
them beyond Kotsarion."
A Bulgarian army has .Peached the
line of Nish forts, according to Sofia
official despatches. It is not believed'
here that any great effort will be put
forth to prevent ''the occupation of
tho war capital by the ,invaders,.
The Teuton army under' Gen, von
Gallwitz, invading Serbia on the east-
ern bank of the Morava, captured
Paracin, on the Oriental railway. This
town, taken along with Iwo others in
the immediate vicinity, lies approxi-
mately 3(i miles from Nish, the Ser-
bian war capital—the direct line is a
little more than 29 miles, it is this
stretch of the Orient railway between
Nish and Paracin that still remains
sin Serbian hands.
With the fall of Nish this railroad
ii sector, essential to definitely clear the
r road to the Turkish capital, will be-
y come untenable :for the Serbs, min-
t, tary observers here agree.
Meanwhile the battle line in South-
ern Serbia and in the strip of Bul-
r 1 garian territo'y invaded by the
Y French, has taken definite shape. On
this battle line there are four princi-
pal salients and al each fighting is
y now in progress. They are the Ba-
- bona pass, with the City of Prilep to
y the south, on the Monastir-hrupili
Dear Editor,—While in London re
cently I came in touch with a littl
incident, which I think will inteies
you.
I attended, one defy, at 110011, a re
erupting meeting in front of the Man
sion House. A great crowd of me
and women listened to the recruitin
sergeants, all of whom had "don
their bit" at the front.
A lady, with a' Magnificent voice
sang patriotic songs, which perhap
were more effective than the speeche
of the recruiting sergeants. At th
close of the ineeting, it was announed
that after singing "Tire King," the
lady would sing "The Woman's Na
tional Anthem." '
Then, in splendid voice, she sang:
"God save our splendid 1210.11,
Send them "safe home again;
God savea'
o t mei).
Beep them victorious,
Patient and'.
chivalrous,
v • l
h .bons
They are so dear to us;
God saiye our men.'
As she Sang, every man stood, un-
covered, and with bowed head, and
there were not many cry eyes.
I think it would be a good thing if
the women of Canada would learn this
as "The British Women's National
Anthem," for surely it is the prayer
of every ,loyal British woman.
After the meeting•, 1 wtnt up to,
the singer, handed her any card, and
asked lien for the words she had just
sung. When he saw that -I was frons
