Turks have occupied Bobacski and the majn body is expected to enter Adrianople shortly. The opinion in most of the European circles is that, Turkey will have /to retire behind the, Enos Midia line. The feeling in Vienna about possible entry into Sofia, is somewhat allayed by Roumanians intimation that she will, not advance further before Bulgaria has been given : the opportunity to accept her opponent's terms. The Greek's main army continues to advance,, and the centre lies in* front of the Kresna pass, while the Servians are in touch with Roumania's right wing, cutting- Widin^ where there are three Bulgarian brigades. . Sofia is practically surrounded by half a million opponents. . It is reported that Greece waives her claims for Kavala. and Drama, contenting herself with the ' Salonika Hinterland. Bulgaria has earnestly solicited the re-opening of the Varna-Sofia railway as the main avenue of food supplies to the army and capital. The Bulgarian legation at London alleges' that the Greeks at Demir Hissar^besides burning the Bulgarian villages, massacred two hundred sick and wounded Bulgarian soldiers at Seres, and sabred all the fleeing inhabitants. At Tilkish they murdered a number of Bulgarian officers.
