BULGARIA SENDS APPEAL TOPOWtRS
WILL ACT IF THEY DO NOT.
Mobilization Of Turkish Troops Under
Pretext Of suppressing Revolu-
tlon Gives Alarm.

Following are some of the points In
the note which Bulgaria has just pre-
sented to the powers: What the
Bulgarian government had foreseen,
as expressed In its note of June 29,
of the development of affairs I'm Tur-
key has become amply verified. The
Turkish government is Systematically
annihilating the Bulgarian people. The
mobilization and concentration of such
great forces in European Turkey, UNI
der the pretext of suppressing the rev.
olution, gives Bulgaria reason to sup
pose that at an opportune moment she
will be attacked by Turkey. The Bull
garian government can no longer re-
main Indifferent to the presence of
such a situation, which is of a nature
calculated to bring about a hostile col.
lision between Turkey and Bulgaria.
IL the great powers do not take meas
ures to give the sublime porte coun-
sells of wisdom and moderation the
Bulgarian government will be Obliged
to take the necessary steps to be ready
for every eventuality and to not be
taken by surprise" II now appears
more likely than ever that Servia will
be drawn into the fight. Emissaries
have gone secretly to King Peter urg-
ing him to join Bulgaria in a war
against Turkey, pointing out that this
Is a way for him to overcome the diff
ficulties which are at present besetting
him. No important step is likely to be
taken at the present critical juncture,
pending the return to the capital of
Prince Ferdinand and reply from the
powers or some intimation from them
in response to Bulgaria's note.
