SALONIKA, Angust 25th. The news from the Berbian front is most satisfactory. They have re-won the hill dominating Lake Ostrovo, and have also progressed farther north. There are no important developments elsewhere. The Bulgarians, hitherto, have not shown any desire to butt their hands against our defences, being apparently more cou cerned in establishing themselves in Greek Macedonia.
