The Bulgarian Triumph.

New York Times 100 years ago today, October 31, 1912:
    SOFIA, Thursday, Oct. 31.— After two days' fighting the Bulgarian Army has gained a complete victory over the principal Turkish forces.
    The Turks have retreated in disorder.
    The town of Lule-Burgas has been taken by the Bulgarians.
    Lule-Burgas was an important point in the Turkish second line of defense, which stretched from there westward to Demotika. Its capture would indicate that this second line has been broken.
    The Turks will probably retreat to Tchorlu, where they may possibly make a stand.
    Adrianople is now completely surrounded by the Bulgarians, whose attacks are meeting with great success, according to the newspaper Mir. The position of the Turks is critical.
    It is officially reported that the Turkish troops at Adrianople have made several sorties, chiefly to the west and northwest, but have invariably been repulsed.
    There are persistent rumors that the Bulgarian cavalry have reached Rodosto, where the Turks have been landing troops brought from Asia Minor.
