Excerpt from Stead's Review, Vol. 49: March 23rd, 1918

This was no ordinary tight in the Balkans. Such as has been occurring for the last year or more. It was an attack by German soldiers, and shock troops at that. Not by Bulgarians or Turks, who hitherto have opposed the Allies at Sale nika. Now German soldiers only visit fronts. Not their own. When something is toward. And storm troops are only sent to distant battle lines when important attack is contemplated. There were German troops in Southern Macedonia before, but they left long ago. Now we learn of the pre sence of these formidable fighters near Salonika. A couple of days after Mr. Law has admitted the possibility of the enemy sending a force so large that we would be unable to meet it. A very small straw will Show which way the wind is blowing, and that telegram from Sofia. Following the statement in the House of Commons, cer tainly suggests an early struggle for Salo nika or the evacuation of the place before the too large enemy force has time to strike. Assuming that Salonika is abandoned or captured what will the position of Greece be? Admittedly the presence of General Sarrail in her northern territory prevented the enemy from possessing themselves of Greece's ports and harbours. Therefore the disappearance of the Allied forces would swmingly result in that possession being secured.
