Traian's Wall across the necl, Of IL,


Trajan's Wall across the neck of the
Dobrudsha in Turkey is a rampant of
earlh about 30 or 40 miles long, and ex-
tends from Rassova, just at the bend in
the Danube, to the shores of the Black
Sea. 1t is eight or ten feet high, with a
fesse in front of it while the western nor
tlon is still further fortified by deep lakes
and swampy valley. Another rampant
OF similar character lies just in the rear
OF 1t. This is known as the south wall
the space between the two ramparts being
from 1000 TO 1000 feet. On the banks
OF the Danube stood tie buttresses of the
bridge which the Roman Emperor erected
for the passage of his troops. 1t was de-

The Cam paIgn In the Balkans.

Abdul kerim, the commander of the
Turkish Balkan army, is no longer in a
position to carry out that famous plan
which he had conceived and matured
aud which he held in readiness for the
annihilatlon, at the right moment, of the
invading Russians. He was a little slow
about it. He did not want to annihilate
the Russians too soon. He wanted to
have some fun with them first. But the
people In CoEstantinople naturally did
not feel the same confidence in Abdul
kerim's plan that he felt himself, and
were consequently impatient. They
wanted that plan, or any plan, tried at
once, and II 1t failed there might still be
time for the trial of some other.
His successor, Mehemet Ali, is appoin.
ted, 1t Is to be supposed, first for his pre-
sumed capacity and next because it is
known that he will act on the principles
that have been urged upon A Abdul Kerim
that is, that he will force the Russians
to immediate combat wherever he can
find them, and either drive them into the
Danube or simplify future operations by
rendering 1t impossi BILE for him to trouble
their further advance. One of the first
duties imposed on the new commander
is to defend the Jamboli Railroad. near
Jenl Saghra, from the Russians, who are
advancing in force to cut it. All he can
hope to accomplish in this effort will be
to check the Russian advance, as he
evidently has not sufficient force to
drive them back over the Balkans.
The attempt to head off the Russians
south of the Balkans waits for the arrival
of Suleiman Pacha, who is coming by
sea from Albania with forty battalions
and does not get the daily papers every
morning to indicate the need for haste.
If he comes up as soon as he is expected
he must wait for the cooperation of the
Shumla army till its new commander
reaches it, and it may be week or two
before full concert of action is establish
ed between the several forces. What
may not the Russians do in that time? II
he gives battle to the Russian force OF
the Balkans he will find that it is distinct
from the force that has become danger.
ons on the road to Adrianople; and he
may nextlbe heard from at Varna calling
for transportation in the hope of putting
his army, by way of the sea, in front OF
a victorious enemy.
