information shows that the Russians

cess in the campaign in Bulgaria. and
only regret they did not cross the Dan

or ignorance is influencing Turkish
commanders in the abandonment OF

campaign. that sets all ack nowledged
rules of modern warfare at defiance.

uniformly disastrous to them, until
the Russians are victoriously adyauc-
ing toward the Balkan mountains.
