WAR IN ASIA MINOR.

FIERCE FIGHTING REPORTED. TURKS CLAIM SUCCESS. By Telegraph.—Press Assn —Copyright. Received August 30, 10.30 p.m. Constantinople, August 29. Tbe situation on the Anatolian front is obscure. It is reported that the Greeks have brought up before the Turkish defences east of the River Sakaria, which are very strongly held by considerable forces, with abundant reserves, and consequently the Greeks are advancing with great caution. The fighting hitherto has been apparently on a small scale, except when the Greeks forced a passage of the Sakaria River in the face of determined resistance by the Turks. At present it is not certain whether the Turks will hold the Sakaria defences or retire to Angora. A later message,reports that the Kemalists claim success after a fierce two days’ fight north-east of the Salt Desert. A Greek attempt to pierce the Kemalist front broke down, and the Kemalists then took the offensive and captured Biledjik, They are continuing the advance. If this report is correct the Greek flank and communieatiqns are seriously threatened.— Reuter Service,
