ADR|ANOPLE DEFENSES
ARE SORRY SPECIMENS
Correspondent Expresses
Wonder That Allies So Long
Delayed Assault.

LONDON, April 16.-The Times pub
fishes long and critical account OF the
siege and capture of Adrianople from a
correspondent who visited that city i'm
mediately after it was taken by the al
lies. 1t shows that the defense of Adria-
nople. though stubborn. was not as skill
full and spirited. as had. been supposed
and that the difficulties the Servians and
Bulgarians had to overcome in the final
assault have been very much exag-
gerated.
The correspondent. attributes the fall of
of spade work on the part of the Turks
main works were barely defended-were
in fact almost indefensible.
Nothing But Field Works.
The infantry trenches on Arnutkeui
ridge We're nothing more than field works
that a brigade of Indian Infantry would
have been ashamed Of.
When I remember the :Ladysmithi de-
fenses and the Russian works.. which. the
Japanese had to force at Lao Yang"
continues the correspondent. land COM
pare them with the parodies on military
engineering which were defended at
Adrianople for five months my opinion is
that Adrianople could and ought to have
been taken at any time during those five
months. Along the whole line of barbed
obstacles were none of those signs OF
desperate passage which, those who were
in Manchuria will remember in their
dreams to their dying day.
Lacking in Military Acumen.
THE fortifica tions in the positions
around Adrianople were miserable in de-
sign, and totally devoid Of military acu-
men in their execution. The marvel is
that the Bulgarian artillery did not
pound these batteries to pieces. They
apparently feared to. get into range Of
the Turks heavy guns.
The correspondent thinks that 1t would
be kinder not to examine into the allies
official estimates of the losses on either
side in the final assault.
