BULGARS ABANDON ADVANTAGE.
Correspondent Failed to Understand
Why They Abandoned Advanced
Positions Captured.

London, Nov. 21.-Ashmead Bart
lett, in a despatch to The Daily Tele-
graph. says that after spending three
days on the Turkish lines, he fails to
understand why the Bulgarians aban-
doned on Tuesday night all the ad-
vanced positions they captured at /
o'clock Monday morning, and adcs:
"The move completely surprised the
Turkish army, which under the en-
pectation Of a decisive assault, had
made agreements for n general re-
tirement should the necessity arise.
''The Bulgarians not only retired,
but burned the Tchatalja railway sta
ton and the surrounding villages and
occupied the high ground facing the
Turkish right wing
Among the various motives sug-
gested, there is q general belief that
political reasons connected with the
peace negotiations dictated this ac-
ton.

The whole British nation has to stou

of reality, home rule is not the main

that Ireland can be renewed from

sentiment, and while they would like
nome rule they are building first for
tangible prosperity and for national
character, and SO they count only up
on unremitting toll and upon 80 much
