And so, today, he is sending his
green-clad soldiers, regiment
after regiment, into the mouths of
the Turkish guns.
The Bulgars are behaving with
that same reckless bravery they
displayed when they stormed the
heighths of Kirk Kilissa, protect
ed by l20 great guns, without the
support of artillery.
The Turks are fighting desper-
ately. But their artillery is badly
handled, and position after posi-
ton, redoubt after redoubt, is fall
ing into the hands of the soldiers
of Ferdinand.
In the meantime, all the Bulgar
forces not engaged in the storm
ing of Adrianople, have been
thrown out to locate the Turkish
reinforcing army of 100000 men,
now supposed to be about Is
miles South of Adrianople.
The fall of Adrianople and the
surrender of its Turkish garrison
of 10000 men is expected here

Sofa today.
1t was battle of the sort I'M
known in recent wars; a hand-to-
hand, shoulder-to-shoulder fight,
bringing to mind the Crimea, the
charge of the Light Brigade and
the thin red line of Balaklava.
There were several days of
bloody skirmishing before the
main forces of the two armies be-
came engaged.
During the skirmishing the,
loss on both sides was terrible.
The Turks were driven back step
by step into their entertainments,
and the dead were left lying I'M
buried because of the work yet to
be done.
AS the Turks took refuge in
their first line of entertainments,
the main body of the Bulgarian
army drew up into position.
The Bulgarian artillery had
been delayed somewhere in the.
wicked mountain passes to the
north, but Tsar Ferdinand did
not wait for its arrival. He or
dered a general advance.
Regiment after regiment adj
vanced on the run, and threw
itself desperately against the
Turkish earthworks.
The slaughter was terrible.
The Turkish guns moved down
