BULGlRS PRESS ATTACK.
REPORTED TO HAVE CAPTURED
TURKISH POSITION.
In Accordance With Invariablc Bull
garian Custom Never To Reveal In
formation To the Enemy, Locations
are Secret

London. Nov. 1O.-The Bulgarian
attack on the Tchatalja lines goes on
unrelentingly. According to cor
respondent at the front, further Turk
| ish positions have been captured, but
their locations has not been indicated
ia accordance with the invariable Bull
garian custom never to reveal in
formation to the enemy.
There is another unconfirmed re-
port that Monastir has been captured
This and the capture OF Diabra, an
important town in Albania by the
Servians after heavy fighting. Consti-
tutes all the military news Of import
ance in the Turkish Balkan war since
yesterday.
Some idea OF the bloody nature of
this war may be formed from the
fact that 1t is now estimated that 15O,-
900 men have been put out of action
On both sides since the opening of
hostilities. The Turkish government
clearly has little hope of holding the
Tchatalta lines. The dispatch Of 100
Lulemas to the front with the avowed
intention to stir up religious fanatic
counsel of despair.
There IL no confirmation of the re-
port that the Turks have opened di-
rect negotiations with the allies. Tur-
keys immediate object appears to be
TO gain time. hoping for something
from the rivalries Of the European
powers. She is also making urgent
diplomatic efforts to prevent the Bull
garian troops from entering Constan-
tinople. In this connection there is
an idea prevelant in Sofia that some
important diplomatic action is afoot
to this end
With regard to the difficulty be-
tween Servia and Austria, the Vienna
Reichspost in denying that any COM
mon action by the triple alliance in
Belgrade is intended. says Austria
has no egotistical plans regarding Al
bania, but is only anxious to preserve
Albanian national and political free
dom and in this object has the sup
port Of Germany and Italy. But, the
paper adds. the mere assurance by
Servia that she would not fortify her
harbor on the Adriatic would give
little security and her passage through
Albania can not be conceded.
According to an inspired statement
the view of the Balkan allies is that
an autonomous Albania. instead Of
contributing to the peace Of the Bal
kans. would be source Of perpetual
trouble and disorder among the AL
banian people themselves, who have
never been Independent. have no ma
tional feeling and are Of various reli-
gious faith and nationalities with no
common language, not even a COM
mon alphabet and do not form
homogeneous unit. The disorders,
IL urged, would inevitably spread to
the surrounding States. and. instead
OF a permanent settlement. Europe
would be left with a troublesome AL
bantam question on her hands

AWFUL SCENES PRECEDE SEIZ-
URE OF TURKISH CITY.
Pasha's OniciGls and Molsem Officers
I'm Dnrance-Massacre OF Chris
tians just Before Occupation.

london, Nov. S.-An uncensored
dispatch received by the Daily
Chronicle from Constantinople says:
Friday: salonik has been occupied
by the Greek troops. Their approach
was attended by awful scenes
Before the Greeks entered the
town the elements OF disorder broke
loose and terrible massacre of the
non-Moslem population tok place.
Shooting and iooting were general.
when the Greeks took possession
they imprisoned AL the pashas off,
ciais and Turkish officers. The Turks
In captivity In ssioniki number a.
000."
Judging from tonight's dispatches
Constantinopie virtually has aban-
doned hope OF the ability Of the Turk
fsh army to offer serious resistance to
the Buigarians ut the Tchatalja lire
and Is viewing the necessity OF calling
the city's manhood to the defense Of
the city itself. II this Is the case the
end OF tho Turkish Balkan war can
not be far distant
The Greeks today achieved the
crownins feat of their campaign by
occupying Saioniki. 1t is not known
yet whether the Turkish garrison Of
$4,000 evacuated the city prior to the
coming OF the Greeks or surrendered.
1t 10 believed. however. that they
evacuated. The Greeks must capture
Juina.
Adrianople and Scutari also hold
out but II Is reported that the two
principal forts on the south side of
Adrianople have been captured.
A dispatch to the Vienna Reichspost
says negotiations for the surrender of
Adrianopie have begun.
With the approach of the end Of
the war diplomatic difficulties are be-
coming more formidable. They are
taking the form of conflict between
the Triple Alliance and the Triple
Entente. which may prove almost an
unbearabie strain on European d.
plomacy.
The situation is so grave that a
special meeting OF the British cabinet
was summoned today to hear the
views of SIR Edward Grey. the foreign
minister. as result Of his recent con-
ferences with all the interested Euro
pean representatives In London and
also prepare for statement on the
subject which Premier Asquith is to
make Mt the mayors banquet at the
guild hall tomorrow night.
There Is reason to believe that Aus
tria has made IL clear to Servia and
to the powers that she never will con-
sent to servia occupying Albania or
ports on the Adriatic. 1t Is reported
the powers recently have approached
the Balkan allies with a view to ascer-
tanning on what terms they were pre-
pared to accept peace. 1t Is under
stood the allies were not disposed 20
commit themselves and insisted upon
direct negotiations with Turkey. 1t Is
believed the only definite outcome OF
the European negotiations thus far Is
an understanding that the Turks shall
not be driven from Constantinopie.

Residents of Main Street
South Amboy Want Oil,
Special 10 the EVENING NEWS.

NfNN
South Amboy, June 1S.-The la

have taken things in their hands for
adjustment and the city fathers
would do we'll to hear their impor-

taken for relief from the dust from
autos on Main street. What is meant
by drastic measures the council will
have to inquire on Main street to
find out.
The apology for putting a little oil
on the trolley track Will not do for
them. some of them say, as the autos
stir up the dust much more than the
trolley, and as the autOist is aVerSe
to running his q over an oiled
road, the Oiling of the trolley track
give no relief, the autos running on
either side on which there is no oil.
The conditions, as far as dust is con-
cerned, remaining the same. Some
of the ladies say they have stood
the dust until patience has ceased to
be a virtue and now they are going
for the councilmen. Whether with

ell would do well to realize that the
Main street women will not leave
them any peace until the whole of
