: London. October 2o.-No really Sc
rious nshting has yet been reported
from the seat Of war. The Montene-
grins have captured PLAYA and Gu
sinie and the Greeks have occupied
Elassona; but these are regarded as
minor affairs In which no real resis-
lance was offered. On the Servian
and Bulgarian frontiers the situation
Is little changed. An uneonfirned re-
port says the Bulgarians have cap
tured . Kirk-Kiusseh. but. like similar
reporSs. this is probably untrue.
From both Constantinople and Sofia
are issued constant denials Of sue
cesses claimed by the respective OPP
ponents- For instance. an of1cial
statement comes tonight from Sonia
declaring that all the reported Turkish
tnvasiorH OF Bulgarian territory are
pure inventions. while on the pre-
vious day the Turkish government
denied the capture Of Turkish troops
by Montenegrins at Tushi
This campaign Of Misrepresentation
has become SO serious that the au-
thorities at Sonia have issued a decree
threatening summary punishment by
martial law to those who circulate
such Inventions.
The Servian advance In the direc-
ton OF Cskup encounters little rests-
lance. and 1t il reported that the Ser
Wan headquarters are being slowly
transferred from Nish to vranja. In
this district heavy rains are imped-
ing operations. Large numbers Of war
correspondents and many military at
taches are starting for the front to-
morrow. They will work under great
dihiculties. owing to the severe re-
strictions imposed. According to .
