Both armies hammered each other with the utmost ferocity along the whole sixty miles of front.

It is also certain that the Bulgarian loss is greater than the Servians’. Most of the wounded arriving at Belgrade are suffering from bayonet and knife wounds, the result of hand-to-hand conflicts. There are comparatively few gunshot injuries. Reports from Constantinople state that merchants have been ordered- not to expose their valuables in their shops and to prepare to close them at a moment’s notice. Internal trouble is feared.
