IN THE BALKANS.

EXTENSIVE BULOAR MOVEMENTS. ATTRIBUTED LAPSED MORALE THE ARMV DEPRESSED. Times. Received August 22, 1 p.m. London. August 21. Mr Calvert, the Times’ special correspondent at Salonika, says the battle at Mooglio was signal Serbian triumph. Four hundred dead Bulgars were counted. The extensive Bulgarian movement is attributed either to a despairing desire to galvanise soldiers’ morale, ■which is depressed by inaction and privations or staving off Roumanian intervention by an appearance of strength which is plainly fictitious. The occupation of Fiorina is not important, as we firmly hold the dominating heights/ Signs of the increasing activity of the Allies has aggravated the Bulgarian depression. They regard themselves as an army at bay and state that the suspense Is unbearable.
