    BERLIN, Nov. 23.— A military news agency asserts that it has learned from authoritative army sources in Berlin that the real reason for Bulgaria's readiness to offer Turkey more acceptable terms is that King Ferdinand's army of 500,000 men has lost fully a third of its original strength in dead, wounded, and diseased.
    The cavalry consists, it is said, of only impotent remnants of its former strength and can in no sense be called battle worthy.
    Gen. Savoff is said to be reduced to such straits that he is now calling youths of sixteen or seventeen years to the colors.
