TURKS SURPRISED
FORTRESS FALLS
$4,000 Turks Surrender to the
Greeks.
A TERRIFIC ATTACK MADE.
Greek Commanders, BY a Feint To
Right, Distract the Turks
and Then Surprise
Them.

Athens, GreeCe.-The Turkish fort
ress Of Janina, the key to the posses
sion of the province of Epirus, with
its garrison of $4,000 men, surrendered
to the Greek Army after a defense
which forms one OF the most brilliant
episodes Of the Balkan War.
The surrender was preceded by a
fierce bombardment, lasting without
cessation for two days and two nights
Every available gun, including a num-
Der of heavy HOWitzers lent by the
Servian artillery, was brought to bear
on the forts defending the beleagured
city.
No fewer than 10000 shells were
fred by the Greek guns during the
first days cannonade Gradually the
Turkish batteries at Bizaui, Manoliara,
Sakni and elsewhere were sienced.
A Complete Surprise,
The Greek commanders by a feint
led the Turks to believe that their at
tack would be made from the right.
AS soon as ,the attention Of the de
tenders had been distracted the
Greeks hurled large bodies of infantry
onto the Turkish left, The Ottoman
troops, utterly surprised, fell back in
disorder.
The batteries on the heights Of
Bizani, the mainstay of the defense,
had been unable to stand the pelting
Of the shells and were reduced to com
plete silence.
The Greeks pushed their forward
movement during the afternoon and
occupied the Turkish batteries on the
Sakni and Elias hills, capturing all the
guns and 10 artilIerymen. Then the
Greek battalions gradually deployed
onto the plain in front Of the city
itself.
The Turkish flight Immediately be
came general, despite all the efforts
Of the Ottoman officers to rally their
men. Whole detachments succumbed
to panic and joined in a mad race
into the city. The Greek troops fol-
lowed in hot pursuit almost to the
walls.
The capitulation.
With all the defending batteries in
the hands of the Greeks and the Hell
lenic soldiers at the gates of Janina,
Essaad Pasha, the Turkish comman-
der, sent messengers under a flag of
truce to Crown Prince Constantine OF
Greece announcing the surrender of
the city and all the troops under his
command
The fall of Janina was announced
by the Crown Prince to the Greek War
once in the following dispatch:
"Enimaga Greek headquarters), 6
A. NJ. The Greek army having occu-
pied the entire left front of the city
of Janina and also Bizani and Cas-
tritza having been surrounded by our
troops, Essaad Pasha has just in
formed me that his troops surrendered
as prisoners of war.
81 will send you shortly details or
the great victory of our gallant army"
Wild enthusiasm reigned in the
streets of Athens on the announce
ment of the news. All the houses
were decorated with flags Excited
people thronged the thoroughfares
singing the Greek national anthem,
while joyous peals rang out from every
church steeple in the capital.

IF two or three members OF even

five hundred dollars on a weeks holiday,
their acouaintances would be likely to
think them some extravagant." Yet,
according to an official Of a friendly So
ciety in the north with whom the writer
talked yesterday, it is quite common
thing for two or three millhands in Lam
cashire belonging to the same family to

of it with scarcely a copper between
them.

week in August-it is this period that is
known as the wakes" a phrase made
famous by Stanley Houghton's much-dis-
cussed play-and during this time it
seems to be the ambition of the workers
to spend as much Of their hardly earned
savings as possible in seeing sights and
engaging in other amusements. During
the past year, the mills have been work

ers have laid up even more money than
usual for their annual bust"
