London, Nov. 4.-Fhe prospect thut
a considerable portion of the defeated
! Turkish army viii he able to reform
along the line, Is not altogether eN-
! cluded, but whether the Turks VIII be
able to maintain any serious resist
ance to the bulgarian advance, Is
doubtful
In the struggle with the allies. the
Turks have lost more than half their
artillery. The SerVians alone have cap
tured 1000 guns. This Will certainly
initiate against any prolonged stand
ut Tchatalla.
In a circular note to Turkish am
bassadorS the Turkish government
maintains that although embarrassing.
affairs are not desperate and that
when the allies had completed their
mobilization, Turkey had barely be-
gun hers. Tho note insists that Turkey
Is still able to maintain prolonged
warfare.
l'p to the present hour there is no
sign that anything has come Of the
porte's appeal to the powers for medi-
alton. No replies have been received TT
Constantlnople and there is little
doubt that when they are received
they will emhody Il dcclnation to con
slider the idcn OF proposing an armis-
tice- Apparently Bulgaria Is IN no
mood to negotiate peace at the pres
ent time
Although fighting is slill proceeding
on the Tchorlu- Sera line and CORES
pondents are sending reports of But
Rarian and Turkish successes in that
ncighborhood, according to which |
side they draw inspiration from, The |
official announcement from Constan-
tnople that the Turks are withdraw
ing to the Tchatalja line of forts is
not to be doubted, ana 1t is evident
that this fighting is merely an extcn
sive rear guard action to cover ;he
movement of the Turks toward CON
:,
The fall OF Adrianople is expected
daily
The occupation of Buk, on the rail
way between SollS and kule Bur
gas is the last link of the chain wholly |
cutting off the Turkish armies which |
have been lighting the great battles
in the east from the scattered forces
IN the heart of the country and to the
west
Comparative order is maintained IN
ConstantinopIe ana SalQnild. but np.
the nervousness felt in Eur |
Dpe over possible outbreaks, is shared
by the Turkish authorities IN Com
the government is already
seizing great supplies for the army
ana the Likelihood of famine prices for
food viii add to the difficulties
Anxiety has been partly relieved, how
EVER, by the arrival Of European war
ships. Others are on the way. II is
Considered unlikely that the fear of
nay influence the powers to use diplo-
Matte pressure to bring about peace at
he earliest moment

Chronicle which was received by an
Indirect route, says that the situation
