Turks Reach Forts Safely.

Battered and Weary, They Are Trying to Muster for New Fight.

    LONDON, Saturday, Nov. 9.— The Morning Post received from a reliable source at Biyuk Chekmeje, on the extreme south of the Tchatalja fortifications, a dispatch dated Wednesday. This says:
    "Practically all the Turkish Army reached the Tchatalja line, the whole position being now occupied except the section from Hademkevi to Biyuk Chekmeje, which should be occupied to-morrow. The troops are tired and their morale is bad. Supplies are being dispatched to Tchatalja with all possible speed.
    "The Bulgarians seem to be renewing their supplies of ammunition before the final advance.
    "Although the Turkish position is naturally strong, the task of reorganizing the army for a successful defense seems remote, but this depends on the rapidity of the Bulgarian advance.
    "The arrival of fresh troops may stiffen the remnant of the army.
    "Nearly all the inhabitants have deserted the country beyond the positions, and are moving toward Constantinople. The roads are covered with thousands of refugees."
