Mr. Ward Price, writing from Salonika, says the operations on the Struma began at daylight on Tuesday, the British attacking at half a dozen places. Each attack was carried out independently and was an immediate and full success, resulting in the capture of Baraclijumal, which is now thoroughly secured. Since, the capturing of Bala-Zir-Yrkri on September 30, when 5000 were put out of action, the enemy has gradually resigned the masterv of the Struma Valley. Baruclijumal - commands one of the principal roads towards Bulgaria. The enemy resisted half-heartedly and fled from the bouses in the village. We had very few casualties. It is significant that the Bulgarians have not made a real counter-attack. j BRITISH STORM A VILIAGE, Paris, Nov. 3.
