LONDON, England, OCTOBER 2S.-
In addition to the capture of the
town of Eski-Baba by the Bulgarian
troops they have been pushing for
ward, according to the latest reports
from the eastern side, in the hope of
entirely destroying the Turkish army
defeated at Kirk -Kilisseh
At the same time the invaders are
Carrying out a wide, sweeping move
ment reaching almost to the shores
of the Black Sea, and still other col
umns are completing the circle around
Adrianople. Bulgarians assert the fate
of Adrianople is practically sealed,
Despite the perils Of the situation,
however, the Turks have not lost hope
of retrieving themselves. According
to dispatch from Constatinople suf-
ffcient Turkish reinforcements have
now reached the front to enable the
Turkish commander-in-chief to assume.
the offensive, It is stated that three
Turkish columns are moving toward
the north and taat these columns are.
to be supported Nby- other Turkish
troops being taken by water to the
Turkish ports on the Black Sea.
Whether they will be in time to do
any good is problematical.
Meanwhile European military circles
are sounding the praise Of the Ser
vian army's achievements The Ser
vians, from whom Europe did not ex-
pect much, are now in possession of
virtually the whole of old Servia, and,
in conjunction with the Montenegrins,
hold the best part of the district of
Novipazar. The Servian columns have
obtained possession of the Turkish
railroad from Mitrovitza, its northern
terminus, down to Uskup and they
are following the defeated Turkish
army to Velos, farther to the south.
The Bulgarian column cooperating
with the Seryian army in the western
part of the peninsula has occupied Is
lip and threatens to cut off the re
treat OF the Turks to the south.
The Greek army. too, is making
steady headway Its capture Of Pen
tepigedia is considered of the utmost
importance. for with Pentepigedia in
Greek hands, the whole country to
the north is easily accessible to the
advance Of the Greek army and the
way is also left open TO Janina, The
Turkish base in the far western re
gion.
The Greek plan is, clearly, to effect
junction Of all the Greek armies and
then march on Soloniki: The Monte
negrins, hampered by rain and the
stubborn resistance Of the Turks. are
still hammering away at Tarakosch
and Scutari.
In one of the greatest strokes Of
their campaign, the Bulgarians have
cut the railroad between Constants
nopIe and Adrianople ana have thus
isolated the latter city. That was IL
dicated today in a spscial lispatch
from Sofia, which declares the invad-
ers had seized a Turkish military
train on the railroad.
The Greeks who have been left
out Of some calculations in regard
to the future, now put forward claim
that the portion of Turkey In which
the Greek crown princes army is oper-
ating must fall to them. In a semi
official statement, the Greeks point
cut that the country mentioned and
that to the north contain purely
Greek population, who naturally ex-
pect that under no circumstances
shall they be placed under anything
but Hellenic rule.
The first uncensured accounts
of the battle at Kfrk-Kilisseh have
