Reported to Have Roached Ro

lnjr, Soldiers ? Cordon
Around Scutari.
Sofla. Oct. 31. 1:30 a. m.-After two
daye* flghting- the Bulgarlan army haa
gairufda complete victortv over the prin?
cipal Turklah forces. The Turks have
retreawd in disorder. The town of l.ule
Burga* has been taken.
Public attention haa been centred in
the operatlons around Adrianopie and
the movements of the Bulgarians
againat Lule Burgas. This town is an
important polnt in the Turkish scconl
line of defence. which stretches from
there westward to Demotica. Its capt?
ure would lndicate that thls second Hne
had been broken. The Turks would
then probably retreat to Tchorlu.
where they mlght poaalbly make a
ttand.
Adrianopie is now con.iletely sur
rounded by the Bulgarians. whoae at
tatks are meetlng with great succefl**,
suording to the "Mir.' a semi-ofllcial
retAbpaper. The poaition of the Turks
is critical.
lt :s officially reported that the Turk- ,
|<h troops at Adrianopie have madr
teveral sortles. chiefly to the west and
northwest. but have invariably been
lepulsxrH.
There are perslst^nt rumors that the
Bulgarian cavalry has reached Ro
doato. on the Sea of Marmora, where
the Turks have been landing troops
brought from Asia Minor.
The 'Mir'* de^ares that if European
diplomacy is honc*stly deslrous to estab
lish a laetlng peaee after the war Its
lat? ia to forget the status quo
.'ormula.
'?After the bloody sarrlflces and glorl
.._B vlctories," says the paper. "this
'ormula dcais a biow at the brave
illled armleB. and is unworthy of diplo
macy, which was responsible for un
looslng the war when everything could
have been galned by the execution of
the treatiea elaborated by that very
diplomacy.
"We must alBO proteat against the
word 'reforms.' The war haa radically
modlfled the sltuation, and changes
muat ensue which can be nothing if
not radical. Everything must be ln
propcrtlon to the success or the allied
armlea and to the sacrifices they made
by the blood they ehed."
