Saturday by personal attack

Crushing Blew To Turkey Is
ReDOrted

Vienna, Oct. 21.-The capture by
Bulgarian advance guards of two OF
the outer forts defending Adrianople
was reported today in message from
Sofia. They were not taken, the dis
patches say, without des perate fight
in which both sides lost heavily.
If it is true that the Adrianople
Notifications are beginning to fall be-
fore the Bulgarian attack the situa
ton looks serious for the Turks. The
|early capture of Mustapha Pasha,
which Bulgaria advertised as q bril-
liant victory, was really of small i'm
portance, put Adrianople is diff
ferent matter, The city is of immense
strategic Importance in the defence OF
Constsntinople, and its loss would be
. crushing blow to the Sultan.
From the fact that 70 war correspou-
dents we're allowed to leave Sofia to-
day for the front it was con jectursd
that tbs Bulgarian Army is now fully
assembled and in position to meet the
enemy.
