Enemy attacks west of Mer- ■ isor were repulsed. Tho Roumanians have again assumed the offensive. MISCELLANEOUS STEMS. Bucharest, September 11. M. Take Jonescu, commenting mi ! tho fall of Turfcukai, says: "It will i remain a painful wound j but if we | seek the origin of tho mistakes and ; concentrate on remedying them,Turtu- • kai will become a memory imposing . the sacred duty of avenging our I heroes' blood and rendering friendly J relations with Bulgaria impossible." j London, September 12. The Daily Chronicle's correspondent 'states that the Bulgarians, with groat secrecy, effected a concentration! tho importance whereof must not be overrated, between Rustclmk and Shumla, Llnis imitating the. manoeuvre' whereby they surprised the Turks at Kirk Kilised in the Balkan war. These forces unexpected attacked the Roumainian advance guard at Turtukai and scored a local success. The Russians at Dobrudja can be trusted to right the matters, however. The regions of the rivers Ma resell and !>ystritza may probably prove more important for the German defence.

The Roumanian mobilisation is now completed. Press Association —Copyright. Published in "The Times." London, September 12. A correspondent at the Roumanian headquarters reports that Bulgars and Germans massacred the prisoners wounded at Turtukai. This has aroused the bitterest feeling in the army.
