The Servs are indignant at the news seat
tered over the world yesterday to the effect
that they had been smartly whipped at Dra-
CONAN Pass. They admit that they had a
mighty hard tussle there, but claim that they
repuised the Bulgars and held their posi-
tions. But the general information and
opinion confirm yesterdays news and put
the Seryian loss even greater than at first
reported. The fact that the Seryian in
vaders appear to be backing at various
points on the general line Of previous ad-
vance. rather than marching forward to
Sofia. and that these points are where they
struck the Bulgars and the Bulgars struck
back. shows that displeasing things are hap
pening to them unexpectedly.
But it seems that the Serys have resumed
the offensive before Sliynitza. and that san
culinary fighting was going on there at the
latest intelligence. The fact that they have
resumed the offensive would look like an
admission that they had been on the defen-
siye some hours before.
Yet it is probably true that these unofficial
accounts from both sides are not strictly
historical. The press reports, however, agree
that the Servs are checked in all directions
except at Widdin, and that the carnage has
