BULLETIN

London, Sept. 26,-1'he Fourth
Turkish army on the Palestine front
is Vii tually surrounded in Ike re-
gion east of the Jordan and faces
annihilation at the hands of Ger
cal Allenby's forces, today's advjces
say.
The total of prisoners already
taken was increased today to 45,OOO.
The annihilation of the Fourth
army, now hoped for, would COM
plete the cleaning up of the Turk
ish forces in Palestine, accounting
for about $4,000 men.
The precarious position of the
Fourth army may oe seen from the
fact that Arab cavalry and infan-
try are north of it, Arab and Brit
ish forces east and British forces to
the south. All these are pressing
inward on the enemy, while the
Jordan, with the crossings, is in
the hands of the allies.

London, Sept. 26.-The position
Of the Bulgarian First army on the

Gus. according to reports reaching
here, but it is not believed that the
army is faced with immediate dis
aster. The Italians who are advanc-
ing against the First army from the
south must pass over much extreme
" rough country before they can get
in contact with it.
1t is believed that the First army
which is commanded by General
Geshof, will be forced to attempt a
retreat westward into the mountains
on the Serbo-Albanian frontier. The
country is extremely rough. and 1t
would be impossible to handle artil-
lery. The matter of iood supplies
also would be difficult.
The reports indicate that the Ser
bians who have cut the Germano-
Bulgarian forces, are joining IN he
allied race for Uskub.
