The first regulates the amount Of
income; the second determines the
purchasing power Of the amount earn

London, Oct. 25.-The Bulgarian and
Greek armies have carried out sue
cessfully their part of the first stage
of the war against Turkey by the
capture of Kirk Kilsseh and the town
Of Servia. Montenegro and Servia are
trying desperately to succeed also by
overcoming the Turkish posts at Sou
tari and Kumanova.
The Bulgarians captured many guns.
much ammunition and food at Kirl.
kilisseh. Even after the fire OF the
Bulgarians had emptied the fortress
fierce fighting took place in the
streets. The Turks declare that the
evacuation of Kirk Kilisseh was a
strategic retirement.
Constantinople, Oct. 25.-Stories of
desperate hand to hand fighting be-
tween Bulgarians and Turks are told
in dispatches from Adrianople. There
were great losses in both armies IN
the battles around. the city Tuesday
and Wednesday. Bayonets were used
freely in the fight for the banks Of
the Tundja river and hundreds were
killed or wounded. Eight battalions
of Bulgarans attacking the village Of

London, Oct. GA three days bat
tie and Bulgarian turning movement
has resulted, according to Sofia ac-
counts in the fall of Kirk kilisseh and
the capture of the Turkish garrison,
numbering $4,000 men. That SO many
Turks have been taken is regarded as
improbable and the more likely report
Is that the Turks retreated in the di-
rectiOn of Bunarhissar, to the south
east.
The capture of this stronghold to
which the Turks attached almost the
same Importance as to Adrianople, was
confirmed last night from Constanti-
nople, in an official communication ex-
planning that the Turkish army at
Kirk Kilisseh, in attempting to split
the enemy's forces discovered that
they we're greater in numbers.
The news of tlle Bulgarian victory
has caused great rejoicing in Sofia,
where 1t Is expected the fall of
Adrianople soon will follow. IT, as is
generally assumed Abdullah Pasha
still Is engaged in bringing up his
main army to Adrianople, the position
of that town is critical.
An interesting situation will de-
velop should the Turks be compelled
to evacuate Adrianople. 1t is sup
posed that the next stand of the
Turks will be at DOmotica, 25 miles
south of Adrianople, an important
strategic position on the road to
Constantinople.
In other directions both the Serv-
ians and the Turks claim great VIC
tories at Kumanova, the Servians de-
claring they have captured the town
and the Turks claiming they have re-
pulsed the enemy. Late reports indi
cate that heavy fighting Is still pro-
ceeding In this district.
The Greeks are operating from Arta
toward Janina. Metcheck and the
neighborhood of Grimbovo.
