MYSTERY In BULGARS' MOVE

London, Feb. 17.-One of the
greatest mysteries Of the renewed Bal
kan war is the action of the Bull
garian army before Tchatalja. The
allies are reported to have withdrawn
still further from the line of strong
forts that guard the way to CONSTANT
nopIe
1t was said at the first news Of the
retrograde movement that the Bal
garians were giving up their advance
positions because large part of the
troops had been withdrawn for the
campaign in the Gallipoli peninsula
But now it looks like a feint
The allies probably realize they
cannot take the Tchatalja lines and
ConstantinOple without tremendous
loss Of life. At the same time they
believe, it is thought, they could
repeat their victories of Lule Burgas
and Kirk Kilisseh once the Turkish
forces had attempted again to give
battle in the open field
Should TIE Turks, deceived by the
apparent retreat, vaingloriously hurry
to pursue them, it is expected the al
lies would quickly turn and crush
the Ottomans.
Something Of this sort may already
have happened. kilograms rumor
great battle at Chorlu. No details
are given.
From Athens comes a dispatch an
nouncing that the island of Crete has
been handed over to Greece by the
European nations, the flags of Tur-
key and the protecting powers being
hauled down and replaced by the
Greek standard at Canea
Mysterious also is the situation in
the Gallipoi peninsula, and the re-
suit Of the fighting at the lines Of
Bulair, across the narrowest part of
the peninsula, which must be captured
before land attack can be made on
the Dardanelles A report stated that
the Bulgarians after a great victory
on Tuesday captured Bulair, but an
ether message stated that there was
heavy fighting at that place on Thurs
day, with considerable losses on both
sides.
An unconfrmed report from Turk
ish sources states that the Montene-
grin attack delivered on Thursday
against Tarabasch and Birditza was
repulsed by the Turks, who captured
six guns. The Montenegro casualties
are said to have numbered 5000, but
no mention is made of Turkish losses.
