The most important piece of war news recorded during the

week is the capture of Monastir, which took place on Sunday last. Whether the statement is true that the Bulgarian losses in the battle were thirty thousand men, and that one thousand Germans were taken alive, and further that there were great losses in artillery and munitions, we do not know. In any case it is clear that the enemy suffered very severely, and that our gain, both morally and strategically, is of great importance.
