TURKS ROUTED

London, Nov. 2. - Officially two
lines of forts, both known as Tcha-
talja-one to the northwest af Adri-
anople and the other stretching across
the peninsula outside of Constantine
p'e-now stand between Turkey and
the total oblitaretion of her power in
Europe. On neither of these lines of
forts can much reliance be placed.
So CONFIDENT are the ulgarians OF
Btheir ability to overcome the shat
tered army of Nazim Pasha, the Turk
ish commander-in-chief now stretched
along the Tchatalja line, butt to de-
fend the Ottoman capital, that part
of their army being sent back to
Adrianople 1t will then complete
the investment of that fortress.
There setms now to be no escape
for the Turks.
The Bulgarians are following up
their successes with a dash that sur
prised the world. They are now en-
deavoring to get a force of their
troops from Seria between the routed
Turkish army, under Nazim Pasha,
and the Tchatalja lines. This move
would fulfill the two-fold purpose Of
putting an end to al Turkish resist
ance and stopp ng the defeated and
maddened Ottoman soldiery from
reachinw Constantinople, where their
arrival is much feared.
If the Bulgarian Ian succeeds they
are likely to 60 on to Constantinople,
where they will dictate their terms of
peace.
