NEWS NOTES OF
CURRENT WEEK
Resume of World’s Important
Events Told in Brief.
TURKS MAKE GOOD DEFENSE
Adrianople Prepared for Long and
Stubborn Fight.
London—The Turks remain on the
defensive at Tchatalja and Adrianople.
ThcjAdrianople fortress replies only
feebly to the Bulgarian bombardment,
and apparently no attempt has been
made in the way of a sortie.
A bombardment of Adrianople, de­
scribed as terrific, was begun Monday
night, the Bulgarians and Servian
troops investing the place being esti­
mated to number 100,000. Military
men who know something about the
several lines of forts which form the
defense of Adrianople look for a pro­
longed defense. This opinion appar­
ently prevails within Adrianople it
self. Shukri Pasha, the Turkish com
mander, who is defending Adrianople,
has declared that he will not surrender
the fortress until the last of his sol
diers has been killed.
The Turkish newspaper Tanin as
serts that Adianople has sufficient
provisions for four months, and other
Turkish reports declare that the fort
ress certainly will be able to hold out
for several weeks. Official quarters
in Constantinople radiate a spirit of
great confidence in the new regime
and declare tjji/t the condition of the
country and the wintry weather pre
elude serious operations long the Tcha
talja lines for the present.
