LONDON, Dec. 22-Unconfrmed re-
ports that the Russians have cap
tured the important Bulgarian sea-
port of varna aroused the greatest
excitement here today. The reports.
however, we're accepted with the
greatest reserve.
No mention was made of the bonn
bardment of Yarna in the Petrograd
official statement telegraphed here
last night. But dispatches from
Berne, Rome and Athens reported
that a large Russian squadron was
shelling Yarna, and Greek reports
said the fleet was accompanied by
sixteen heavily laden transports.
The dispatch TO the Chronicle re-
porting the capture of Narna was
filed at Athens at hoon yesterday. one
day later than other press messages
reporting the port being shelled. Il
was stated that the city was laid in
ruins and the forts silenced- Rus
sian infantry and artillery were then
landed. A neutral consul at Yarns
telegraphed the news at Athens, the
Chronicle correspondent wired.
II the Athens reports are true, the
Russians have begun the long g-looked-
for Invasion Of Bulgaria by a flank
ing attack that may cause the i'm
mediate withdrawal of the Bulgars
from the Greek frontier. Such a

that large would be needed to with
stand Bulgarian attacks until larger
force could be transported across the
Black sea from the Odessa region.

CONSTANTINoPLE, Dec. % (via
Londorf, 1910 a. m.)-The Turkish
war office has given out the following
statement:
"On the DardanelIes front hostile
ships violently bombarded until late
in the evening different camps in
order to destroy the booty abandoned
by the enemy. The bombardment
failed to achieve its purpose. Hostile
attacks at Seddnl- Bahr repeatedly
were repulsed.
"The counting of the war material
and military equipment left behind
by the enemy at Ari Burnu and
Anafarta has not yet been completed.
Among the booty near Ari Burnu
were two heavy guns. one Schneider
field gun. a great quantity of am
munition, especially cartridges; rifles,
great number of mules, ammuni-
tion carts and tents filled with pro-
visions and telephone material"
The booty abandoned by the
enemy referred to in the above
statement is the war material which
the Turks claim the British forces
left behind In their withdrawal from
the northern coast of the Galiipoh
peninsula.
