London, Nov. 4.-The Turkish |!
army is in full retreat on Constanti-
nople and the Turkish government |
has asked the powers to intervene.
An official bulletin was issued by
the government at Constantinople |
last night admitting defeat at the
hands of the Bulgarians in the great
battle on the Thracean plains.
Application was made to the en-
bassies in ConstantinOple for media
ton by the powers to end the hos
tilities and arrange a peace agree
ment.
The ambassadors, prior to this,
had asked the porte to grant per-
mission to each of the great powers
to send one Warship through the OAR
danelles and this request had been
complied with.
The only guarantee of safety for the
native Christians and perhaps the
foreigners in COnstantinOple is to be
found in the presence of the war
ships of the great powers in the har-
Dor of the Turkish capital.
1t is the general belief that Bull
garia will refuse to listen to anything
in the way of intervention until the
Bulgarian army is at the gates of
Constantinople, and will insist that
Turkey make an appeal direct to the
allies without interference from the
powers.
Nazm Pasha In Danger
Dispatches from the front indicate
that there is grave danger that Nazim
Pasha, the Turkish war minister,
will find himself surrounded by the
swift moving allies before the broken
masses of mis- army, crushed at Lule
Burgas, can reach the fortified line of
Chataldja, west of the Ottoman
capital.
The Turks, impeded by thousands
of wounded, with a depleted COM
missariat and a disheartened spirit,
are not retreating in good order, it
is said, and the Bulgarian general ,
Savoff, is attempting to throw a body
OF fresh Servian troops, hurried to
the eastern front from the western
campaign, between Nazim Pasha and
the almost impregnable position he is
attempting to reach.
Instead of fighting with their backs
to the wall, the Turks may find them
selves encircled at any moment. The
battle would then be fought under
disadvantageous conditions for the
Ottomans and the allies should have
easy work in dispOsing of them. The
way to Constantinople would then lie
open.
Servan Cavalry Active
The Servian cavalry meanwhile i
sweeping the remnants of the Turk
from Macedonia, and the Creens
Bulgarians and Servians, taking It f..
granted that the war is won, are e.
tablishing civil administrations il t.
conquered provinces. The T 1rl.
hold little save the fortified cities G.
Scutari, Monastir, Janina, S.lcnic
and COnstantinople
The conditions in the capital ar.
desperate. Twelve thousand wC11C
ed, mostly neglected, now lie tto!,o
and the disorderly elements, seen
ingly about to break their leah a
fall upon the Christians and Jews
are becoming more rampant no 1yly
While the triumphant BuIra.i I,
worrying the tanks of Nazim Pas.
and threatening to outrdn ana SUI
round him, have taken Ch0rll Is
tranja and RCdOstO, the latter a roy
on the Sea of MarmCra, an attenn
on the part of the Turks to make
flank movement and use a bit c
strategy failed pitfully. A force c
80 900 was landed at Media, on tt
Black sea, and was completely de
feated.
May Be Another Sedan
Veteran war correspondents predic
that Sedan will be repeated, and tn
surrender of the entire Turkish arm
rs not considered improbable. At tn
same time the plight Of Adrianople
more desperate, and it is not expect
ed TO hold out more than a wee
longer. Tsar Ferdinand, in pity fc
the inhabitants, has ordered th
bombardment of the city proper
cease.
The beseiged saw their last hope {
succor fail when the 80, 900 men WI
fed from Kirk Kilisse to Denote
were defeated and cut to pieces.
The main Bulgarian attack by II
field guns is being delivered again
the Chataldia forts, line of the san
name as that which defends Cor
stantinople. This is at the northwe
corner of the Notifications of the cit!
These are the strongest of thee pre-
tecting forts, and the capture
Chataldja will mean the fall
Adrianople. At the same time 9TH
