These for the most part describe the conflict in terms resembling partly a game of chess and partly a football match. We read of grand strategic combinations, of masterly plans of attack and admirable counter-strokes of defense. On the battlefield we hear of gallant charges, superb rushes of cavalry, indomitable resistance.
The counter-strokes of their armies met with success, and the intervention of Rumania made Bulgaria's discomfiture certain.
