BULLETIN.
LONDON, Oct. 23. The Important
Turkish town of Novi Pasar. In the dis
trict of the same name, was captured by
tiie Servians today after severe fighting,
according to a news agenoy dispatch
from Nlsh, Servia. The troops suffered
heavy losses.
LONDON, Oct. 23.-Bloody, portentous
battles are being fought on every side of
the Balkan peninsula today, military ex
perts believe..
While the allied armies of . Bulgaria,
Servia, Montenegro and Greece have
doubtless had the best of the preliminary
skirmishes, It remains to be seen which
ide will be more successful in the main
theater of war.
Both Turks and Bulgarians claim to be
advancing- in the vicinity of Adrianople.
Everything seems to indicate that the
Bulgarians have deployed the bulk of
their main army from the Mustapha
Paslia-Adrianople line of the Djumbala-Klrk-Killseh
line and are attacking the
Turkish front between the last named
place and Adrianople, while attacking the
extreme Turkish right to the east of Kirk.
Kilisseh. From this latter point reports
have reached here of serious conflicts.
Servians Take PrUhttna.
The Servians continue their advance.
One of their armies haa taken Priahtlna
nd another ia at the gates of ICumanova.
An official report by the Servian com
wander says that tha Turkish troops after
offer. rw? a desperate resistance, are fall
ing baclc along the whole, front,
Around the town of NVvlpazar brisk
fighting has been in progress for several
days and the Servians are said to have
Buffered severe losses. They, have cap
tured some of the surrounding towns, al
though Novipazar itself is holding out.
Most of the Servian suocesses have been
won over mixed . forces of Albanian
tribesmen and Turkish Irregulars., They
will not come into contact with the
trained Turkish troops until they reach
Uskup.
Greek official reports disagree as to
the situation on the Greek frontier. One
of them reports heavy fighting on the
road between the town of Elassona and
the Turkish base at the town of Servia,
while another declared that the Turks
are In full retreat.
Armies Hampered by Wounded.
All the armies in the field are hampered
ly their wounded. In most cases they
have to bring the wound.id to the rear in
rlowly moving ox carts.
A message from Constantinople by In
direct route and dated October 22, says
the Turkish fleet had left a torptdo boat
ilotflla to rarry out the blockade of the
Bulgarian coast. The Turkish battleships,
It says, are lying at the entrance to the
Boaphorus, and it is expected they are
about to return to Constantinople and
refit, after which tbey will go out Into
the Mediterranean and engage the Greek
fleet. .

Berlin Women Attack
Butchers Who Refuse
to Sell Imported Meat
BERLIN, Oct 23. Hundreds of Berlin
housewives joined in a wild riot today
herausn tha hutchers in the municipal
markets refused to handle, meat imported
so as to reduce he cost of living.
The principal trouble occured In the
Wedding district, which is entirely inhab
ited by worklpg people. Hundreds of
women, who went to the municipal mar
ket found that the butcners had agreed
not to deal In meats imported by the
municipality. Then they stormed the
butcher's stalls, seized all the native
raised meat, trampled It on the ground
and fought with the butchers.N The po
lice were forced to close the market to
stop the riot.
The prices of meats are so high In
Berlin that the government recently gave
permission to the city authorities to bring
In and sell meats from abroad at the city
markets and to control the prices. The
butchers at first agreed to handle these
meats, but late last evening announced
they had decided on a general boycott
of them in the twelve municipal markets
ot Berlin.
The municipality declares its intention
of punishing the butchers by cancelling
tneir licenses.
