Bulgars Report Successes.

New York Times 100 years ago today, October 24, 1912:
Official Reports Say Allies' Vigor Demoralized the Turks.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
    LONDON, Thursday, Oct. 24.— Telegraphing from the Bulgarian headquarters at Stara-Zagora, William Maxwell, The Dally Mail's correspondent, says:
    "The official reports, on which we are still dependent, continue to record the unchecked advance of the several columns of the Bulgarian Army and the flight of the surprised and demoralized Turks.
    "On the west the River Arda has been reached after the occupation of the regions of Rasloz between the Struma and Mesta Rivers and of the Tamrush tongue of the Turkish territory, projecting on Bulgaria. The enemy fled panic-stricken, leaving 100 dead and 160 prisoners.
    "The movement on Adrianople also proceeds. Some points of the strongly fortified Turkish lines have been occupied after a lively fight, in which the enemy were reported beaten. The discouraged Turks took refuge in the forts, leaving on the field a large number of dead.
    "During the battle the Turkish siege guns of Adrianople opened fire without result. A sortie from the fortified lines on the east of the city was repulsed.
    "Bulgarian troops occupied Vasiliko on the coast of the Black Sea, and are advancing in the direction of Visa.
    "Turkish prisoners declare that the Turkish Army is demoralized by the vigorous offensive work of the allies, is badly fed, and undisciplined. In their retreat Turks burn the villages, while their fleet, contrary to international law, bombards unfortified towns, villages, and even convents and hospitals.' "
