Might Be Driven to West.

Should the great turning movement
now being attempted by the Bulgarians
be successful, Nazim Pasha might be
driven to the west, toward Saloniki, leav-
ing Constantinople at the mercy OF the
invaders.
In the meantime the Greek. Servian
and Bulgarian armies are moving on Sa-
Ioniki. The Greeks already are within
striking distance of the Turkish town OF
Verria. only fifty miles from Saloniki. on
the railroad from Monastir. The pos
session of Verria by the Greeks would
not only threaten Saloniki. but cut of
the Turkish army under Zekki Pasha,
which was defeated by the Servians at
ITskup and is now concentrating at Mon
astir.

with the Bulgarian army coming down

Struma valley. and concentrating a.

advancing on Neles.
All the passes through the Rhodops
mountains leading to the Saloniki and

hands.

Plan Working Smoothly.

LONDON, October 29.-The plan OF
campaign of the Balkan allies appears
to be working with almost perfect
smoothness. This is due, according to
military critics. to some extent to the
lack of preparation of the Turkish
army.
The armies of Bulgaria, Servia, Greece
and Montenegro are now in possession
of a large portion OF the Turkish rail-
road system and also of the wagon
roads while those lines and roads that
they do not actually command they are
threatening.
Interest in the war still centers largely
in the eastern area below Adrianopie,
where Nazim Pasha. the Turkish minis
ter of war and commander-in-chief with
four army corps, is holding the line from
Tchorlu to Lule Burgas. According to
the latest reports he has been set the
task of trying to stem the advance OF the
victorious Bulgarian troops, and he Is
credited with the statement that he will
return the victor or perish in the attempt.
Nazm Pasha appears to occupy a
perilous position. with the Bulgarians
on his right flank at Esk- -Baba cut
ting him off from the army of Adrian
ople while the destruction Of the
bridge over the Tchorlu river prevents
