RENEW ATTACK
ION ADRIANOPLE
BuIgarians Assault Fortress
With Increased vlgor.

Vienna, Austria, Nov. Now that
the Turkish main army is as good as
destroyed the Bulgarian army of in
vestment around Adrianople will be
strengthened again and the assault
on the fortress continued with In,
creasd energy. according to the CORE
spondent of the Reichspost, with the
Bulgarian army.
While the great battle between the
Turks and the Bulgarians was going
on further to the south the Bulga-
rian siege guns posted at Kadikeui on
Wednesday bombarded the Turkish
works belonging to the group on the
northwest front OF Adrianople, OF
which Tchatalja fort is the center.
This fort which bears the same
name as the line of defenses before
Constantinople, Is the strongest of
those surrounding Adrianopie, to which
1t forms the actual key, and its cap
ture would bring about the fall of the
city.
II Ia thought, however, that the gar
rison will be starved out.
The bombardment from Kadikeui
was kept up for eight hours on
Wednesday and then, after an interval,
resumed. The effect Of tie Bulgarian
shells was severe. The reply OF the
Turkish guns was ineffective.
In the meantime column of Bul-
garians advanced to the attack in the
direction of Maras and strong de-
tachments also we're launched against
Keragach fort. southwest OF the city.

spondent, was terribly severe. In their
attack on Lule Burgas the Bulgarians
found Shefket Pasha with his troops
In position on the slopes behind the
town. The Buigarians brought up six
batteries and shelled the position on
Monday evening. They then carried
out an infantry attack, which was un-
successful. On Tuesday the Bulgari-
an artillery settled down to a method
teal preparatory bombardment, to
which the Turkish artillery replied
vigorously. In the artillery duel no
superiority was shown by either side.
On Tuesday afternoon it became
clear to the Turkish commander that
the Bulgarians We're pushing up mass
es of reinforcements into the firing
line to give weight to their attack.
This meant that the position at Lule
Burgas was becoming untenable. The
