Littlo haa been heard from the Bulgarian left wing, which stretches from Bunarhissar to Midia. In l his territory tho Turks greatly outnumber out-number thc Bulgarian, y,-ho have been only able to hold their own. Any slight success which tho Turks obtained here, however, was of no material import:! im-port:! nee The Bulgarian victory was due to superior strategy combined with the ex- troiiic energy of their offensive movement. move-ment. It appear that tho object, of the rapid advance early in the week on Visa and Midia was not really to outflank out-flank tho Turkish right wing, but to miblead the . Turks. This was successful. success-ful. Tho Turks moved their reserves ; by sea and along tho coast to strengthen the right wing, which reached to Istrandia, and directed all their olforts to meeting hero what they believed to be the main attack.

' The Bulgaria main fqjee on their right wing was thus superior in strength to the Turks at Jjiilo Rurgas, and was able to hurl them back. Tl is believed thai, ihc total Turkish force numbered 250.000, as compared with loO.OOO Bulgarian?, the latter being be-ing obliged to leavo many mpn around Adrinuoplc. Probably tbo decisive movement on the Bulgarian right "was one through Airobol, -"fifteen miles to the south oL: lki-Baba, vfhich turned the Turkish flank. Tho Turkish reserves re-serves west of Ycuikin, nine divisions strong, were pushed forward toward the Bulgarian advance, but it is believed be-lieved that these reserves are also in retreat. |
