BULGARIA DECLARES
 ITS INDEPENDENCE

pendence has been immediately pre-. ceded by a conflict between Bulga. ria and Turkey concerning control oi the Oriental Railroad in Eastern Ru- melia. Bulgaria took possession oi this line in September because of a strike and started to operate it witl her military forces. When the strike had been settled she refused to return control to Turkey. which. action led to sharp conflict between the two States.
 In spite of the peaceful endeavors of the powers concerned in the near Eastern difficulty, the military forces of both Turkey and Bulgaria are. preparing for eventualities. The Turkish army Is stronger numerically but the Bulgarian army Is in a better condition of efficiency.
 . That all energies are being bent to. wards the maintenance of peace is clear. The Foreign Ofiices of Europe are keeping the wires hot today in an effort to lind a basis of agreement satisfactory to the powers chiefly con cerned that shall take the place oi the treaty of Berlin. This Austria Hun gary and Bulgaria have torn up and thrown into the faces of the sigma tories of the conv s.Ition which has gov erned the situation in the near East for the pat thirty years.
 The action taken today by Bulbaris and Austria Hungary Is practically condemned in all official diplomatic circles in ondon. but at the same time the British Government is prepared tc cooperate in any pacificatory steps which may be decided upon by the powers concerned The main idea is the prevention of a warlike outbreak
