TURKISH DEFEAT
MAY END WAR
Adrianop|e is Now Completely
Remmed In
TO SAVE COASTAnTINOPLE.

hain Army of MosIems Retreats to
New Stronghold to Defend Road to
the Capital.
London, Nov. 1. - The Bulgarian
army has defeated Turkish force es-
timated at 100000 men at Lule-Burgas,
after three days Of terrific fighting, ac-
cording to news agency dispatch
from Sofia The Bulgarian cavalry is
pursuing the retreating Turks.
Whatever the result of the great
battle in the eastern part of the Bal
kan peninsula, it probably will give oc-
casion for the Intervention of the Eu-
ropen powers. In dispatches from
Vienna it is asserted that the foreign
ministers of the European govern
ments have reached a tentative agree
ment on this point, and in any event
Constantinople will not be tolerated
by the powers. Even Russia is disin-
clined to permit such an occurrence.
1t is also understood in diplomatic
quarters in the Austrian capital that
the Balkan nations already have made
known in an unofficial manner that
they are prepared to accept interven-
ton by the powers at any moment
now
Evidence of the imminence of efforts
on the part of the powers to intervene
in favor of peace come sin an official
pronouncement of the Bulgarian posi-
ton published in the semi-oficial
newspaper Mir, which plainly declared
that the allies will not be deprived of
the fruits of victory.
Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign
minister, stated in the British house
of commons that when the military sit
uation in the Balkan peninsula permit
ted the powers would take steps to in
sure enduring peace between the bel
igerents.
The Turkish army, after it's defeat
at Lule-Burgas, retreated toward Tcha-
talja. Adrianople is completely hem
med in by the Bulgarian troops.
Sofas advices say the main Turkish
army under Nazim Pasha, war minis
ter and commander-in-chie was COM
pletely routed. The Turks fed in dis
order, leaving many killed and wound
ed on the field.
The battle, which is regarded as
the most important engagement. since,
the beginning of the war, lasted thT2eI
entire days 1t extended along the uifI
from Lule Burgas eastward to Sera1
The Turkish front was over thirty one
miles long.
The Ottoman troops retreated to
Tchorlu, about twenty-one miles to the
south of the positions from which they
were driven by the Bulgarians.
Tchorlu, where the Turks are ex-
pected to make another stand, occu-
pies an important position on the main
road and on the railway between Con-
stantinople and Adrianople at the point
where the road from the port of Ro-
dosto joins. Unless the Turks hold
this place they will be unable to bring
any more troops from Asia Minor by
way of Rodosto on the Sea of Mar
mora.
On the other side of the peninsula
the Servian troops are extending the
area of territory conquered by them
in Macedonia. 1t is reported that they
have crossed the mountains and taken
the town of Prisrend, with a large
quantity of Turkish war material.
They are said also to have taken Dia-
kovo, still further to the west.
The Greeks also appear to be spread
ing out their lines. They have occu-
pied Grevena, on the western road
leading to Monastir.
