Sunday opened the attack against the
Turks all along the TChat&lja lines.
The heavy artillery duel continued
throughout the day.
1t appeared to be Bulgarian prep
aration for al infantry attack. the
Turkish fleet participated vigorously
in the defense at the Marm0ra end
of the line, and presumably Turkish
warships assisted at the Black Sea
end also.
Nazim Pasha, the Turkish comman-
der in chief, in dispatch claims to
have repulsed the Bulgarian attack
and destroyed three Bulgarian bat
teries. Nazim Pashas headquarters
are near the Hademkeui railway sta
ton. According to latest reports the
battle ceased with nightfaiI.
The resumption of hostilities is not
regarded as indicating the collapse
of the peace negotiations, but rather
as a means to hasten Turkeys accept
ance of the allies terms by proving
her complete helplessne5s, or, as one
correspondent phrased it, ito estab,
lish an accomplished fact before max,

The Bulgarian government organ
Mir reverts to the subject of peace
and plainly intimates that the allies
are prepared to consider the question
of an alliance with Turkey, provided
! the latter promptly accepts their
terms, which would give Turkey the
opportunity OF, welding her territories
into modern state and making
friends of her conquerofs.
