Porte by Stirring Up Religious
Fanaticism Adopts Coun-

London, Nov. 11,-The Bulgarian at
tack on the Tchataldja lines goes on
unrelentingly. According to a corre-

positions have been captured. but their
location has not been indicated, in ao-
cordance with the invariable Bulgarian
plan never TO reveal information to the
enemy.
The Turkish government clearly has
little hope of holding the Tchataldja
lines. The dispatch Of one hundred
Ulemas to the front, with the avowed
intention to stir up religious fanaticism
in the army. is interpreted as ooun-
