quarters on the ground and tackled
the enormous task Of preparation.

the artillery opened with such vigor
as to surprise the Bulgarians who
were not aware that heavy buns were
facing them. The brushwood was
soon set aflre and long columns OF
yellowish smoke began to ascend from
the hillsides while the great valley
resounded to the roar Of the guns.
The artillery preparation lasted all
