 At the same time the Bulgarian right wing attacked the Turkish posi- tions at Luleburgas from Eski- Ba ba and Yenikin and drove the Turks from their fortified positions on the Telan- dcre, Ajvalidore and Erkene rivers back of Luleburgas. The Bulgarian infan- try was splendidly supported by ar tillery which at critical moments suc- ceeded in holding down the Turks by an annihilating Ire. With the help of the guns most of the Turkish positions were taken by bayonet assaults Some of them, however, were stormed and taken without any preliminary action or artillery support

Allies to Dictate Terms

AllleS 10 DlCtdte efms
 All indications from Sofia are that the allies are determined to dictate terms Of peace from Constantinople. That is the construction in an editorial from the offi- cial newspaper, Mir, published at Sofia, and in other official intmatlons that the Bulgarians apparently expect to be in Constantinople within a fortnight at the most. Whether this will be possible de- bends upon the strength of the ChataldJa fortified lines, which for nearly een- tury have been considered an impregnable stronghold iron. which the Turks would dare the world to expel them.
 Diplomatic activity over the situation continues in the European capitals, but the Balkan allies in their present mood are ill disposed toward any European in terference.
 The most interesting feature of the war news today was the brilliant exploit Of Greek torpedo boat sinking Turkish battieship at Saloniki Thursday night.
 No news was received from Adrianopie today. Taravosch and Scutari are still holding out despite continuous lombard ment by the Montenegrns.
 British and French warships arrived at Saloniki tonight for the protection Of their nationals.

 "The Turkish losses are enormous. Their line of retreat is traceable by a long trail of discarded weapons, and equip ment, and, sad to say, also by burning villages and the bodies of massacred Christians. The Bulgarians captured guns and many thousands of rifles"

Correspondent Tells of Battle

Vienna. November 2-The Riechspost this morning prints a story sent by It's correspondent with the Bulgarian army Lieutenant Wagener It is dated from. the Bulgarian headquarters Thursday evening and says:
 T have just returned with a train of wounded after having spent three days at the front For three days and nights I have not been out of my clothes. My poor horse could not move another step because of exhaustion.
 The great and final battle entered the decisive phase Thursday morning when the Bulgarian left wing at Bunarhissar took the offensive with mighty impetus. This prelude to the final crash at arms was murderous opening engagement which last Monday resulted very favor ably for the Bulgarians, especially on the right wing at Luleburgas.
 .'On the left wing where the Bulgarian offensive started, the Turks, by taking the offensive from Serai oy way of Visa against the Bulgarian left wing, had at tempted to meet the danger threatening their line of retreat owing to the Bulgar- ian advance by way of Serai to Tschat- alja The Turks also had succeeded in driving back the advance body of Buga- rians beyond Karagederesi and Bunar- hjssar.

Discuss New Policy

Paris. November "A policy of terri torial dlsinterestedness9 in the Balkans, If France, Russia and Great Britain have their way, will replace the now discredited shibboeth of status quo' as basis of collective action by the great powers should the time arrive for a re- distribution of sovereignty in Turkey through the success at arms of the allied Balkan states over the Turks.
 This self sacrificing ordinance, oe course, would apply only to the nations constituting the concert of Europe, as there is no longer any suggestion of op- posing the aspirations of the Bulgarians, Greeks and Servians for a national unity.
 It is recognized that they must have respective slices of territory should the Mussulmans finally acknowledge defeat, but it is acutely feared here that any attempt by outsiders to put their hands in the grab bag almost assuredly would lead to the European conflagraton which the chancellories Aver they are so anxious fn avoid

The alleged understanding between Austria and Servia on the sub ject of the status of Novipazar ana Saloniki, which it had been hoped here meant that Austria finally had decided that Saloniki was not worth a war and would have cleared the way for the new programme was officially denied tonight by the Servian minister in Paris.
 M. Poincare, the French premier, who is working untiringly for peace, does not despair however, of eventually rallylng all the powers under the banner of dis interestedness which he believes is the surest and perhaps the only means of ayerting a general war.
