London,

of fresh

in tha
Near
Kast
are attracting

attention
here.
R¥ferrirg
to the
report-

ed
wrecking
of
the
bridge
across
the
i
Naritza river, connecting
Adrianople and
|
Karagatch,
the
Daiy
Telegraph
diplo-
|
matie correspondent
says
that
although
|
the railway bridge
has
not yet
beendam-
|
ared,
it is in danger
and
recalls that the
|
Turks
are known
to havé
mined
it.
The
|
Maritza
explosion,
says
the
writer,
is
|
merely
an incident.
Hg
adds
“‘lt coin-

¢ides curiously enough
with
the

of troops,
in flagrant
violation of the Mu.

ot
the
cutting
of

communication
between
the Allied garrison
at

danelles
and

This
&l-
reauy awkward
position would
be aggra-
vated if the
Turks,
by the destruction
of

all the
Maritza river bridges,
made
it im-
possible
for the

to
