Turkish army defeated at Kirk-kIlls-

At the same time the Bulgarian
armies are carrying out d wide sweep

Adrianople's Fate.
How far these combined movements
have been successful the outside world

Ssrvian Achievements.
In view of the big events in the eastern
region of the theatre of war. the achieve
ments of the Servian army have been
somewhat lost sight of. The Servians,
from which Europe did not expect much,
are now in possession of virtually tbs
whole of old Servia and in conjunction
with the Montenegrins hold the best part
of the district of Novipazar.
The Servian columns have obtained pos
session of the Turkish railroad from
Mitrovitza its northern terminus, down
to Uskup. and they are following the
defeated Turkish army to Veles, farther
| to the south.
The Bulgarian column cooperating with
| the Servian army in the western part OF
the peninsula has occupied 1stip and
threatens to cut off the retreat of the
| Turks to the south.
| The Greek army. too. is making steady
| headway. Its capture of Pentepigedia Is
considered of the utmost Importance, fot
with Pentepigedia in Greek hands the
| whole country to the north is easily ac-
| eessible to the advance of the Greeks
army and the way is also left open to
!; Janina, the Turkish base i'm the far west
ern region.
| The Greek plan is clearly to effect a
! junction of the Greek armies and ther
/ to march to Saloniki. The Greek Crown
| Princes army is now within striking dis
! lance of that fortress.
| In the first place, of course, the Greeks
must sever communication between Mon
astir and Saloniki, and they might sene
| a force against the former place.
| The Montenegrins. hampered by rair
and the stubborn resistance of the Turks
are still hammering away at Tarakoscf
I and Scutari.
| All the invaders of Turkish territory
! are establishing civil administration IL
{. the towns captured by them, which i
taken as further evidence that they hav'
no intention of giving up any of the cap
tured territory without a struggle.
