AMERICAN INTERVIEWED.
Just Returned from Celtinje-Gives
His Viewpoint of Affair.

London, Oct 21.-The war news is
still the story of comparatively unin-
teresting small engagements involved
in maneuvring for position while the
Turkish and Balkan forces are as
sembling and preparing for big events.
When the allied states declared war
it may be assumed that Turkey had
by no means concentrated her troops.
Moreover Turkey was still hoping to
detach Greece from the confederation.
Her failure to do this undoubtedly ne
cessitated some change in the plans,
and she still needed time to transport
her troops to the required positions;
hence the falling back of the small
Turkish garrisons from numerous
frontier posts of no great significance.
The Servian army is steadily adj
vancing and now has its headquarters
at Vranya in the movement against
Uskup. The Greeks have captured
Dissikata, from which position the
Turks retired on the town of Servia,
where big battle is expected shortly.
According TO a Constantinopie report
an important battle is imminent at Adri-
anope. Meanwhile the rival fleets are
both active the Greeks blockading the
Island of Lemnos. and the Turks bonn
