Germany's Game.
| A short time ago Germany was the
isolated power of Europe. England,
France and Russia were banded to-
| gether to hold her in curb. Austria
| and Italy will be closely bound to her
again and Russia may be detached in
| whole or part from the other drei-
bund.
This is already indicated in the dis
patches. The treaty of Berlin, which
settled the status alike of Bulgaria
and of Bosnia and Herzegovina, being
virtually torn in pieces, the cars gov.
eminent will naturally demand its
share of the benefits. Its eyes will
naturally be turned to the Bosphorus
and the Dardanelles and demand
will be made for the renewal of the
embargo upon the passage of warships
through the straits. Thus Russia will
hope to gain the naval advantage of
her great littoral upon the Black sea
instead of having to depend upon the
ports of the Baltic, which are practi
cally ice-bound every winter.
May Split with England
And this is where the split with
England may come. The opening OF
the straits would place Russia in
position to contest at an early day
her supremacy in the Levant. With
her great interests in Egypt and with
the necessity for guarding the Suez
route to India against all attack, it
would become imperative upon her in
the course of few years to keep a
vastly more powerful and expensive
fleet in the Mediterranean than is at
present needful-
The reward offered to Italy for con
senting to the Austrian territorial ag
grandisement is no doubt a hand in |
the colonization of Tripoli, towards |
which she has long had aspirations |
This concession is not unlikely to suit |
Germany's plans, since it may create |
suspicion and jealousy on the part of
France, aiming as it does to a com
plete preponderance of influence in
the north of Africa
Germany cannot but be pleased also
at the blow to the Young Turk move
ment, inevitable from the loss of Sc
much territory to the porte even
though the hold on it was littic more
than nominal. Down to the time of
the Young Turk uprising. Germany
was the most influential of the powers
at Constantinople. The sultan relied
on the kaiser for support against the
rest of Europe and the kaiser hoped
to secure great advantages-first in
the way of railroad concessions and
in territory in the Turkish
regions of Asia The Young Turk sue

ONDON.-For those who know
Bulgaria and the Bulgarians it
is not hard to understand what
Prince Ferdinand's proclamation
of the independence of the
country means to his people. 1t is the
contamination OF so years of patient,
crafty. never-swerving effort, always
directed to the one purpose, by the
minds of statesmen who were not
afraid to match their wits with those
of the prime ministers of the great
western powers and whose rewards
were occasional victories. 1t is the
contamination, too, of the prayers and
hopes of the 100000 people of Bull
garia ever since the treaty of Berlin,
dictated by Disraeli. deprived them of
the advantages secured for them by
Russia in the treaty of San Stefano
A westerner can hardly appreciate

over $4,000 men of all arms. Accord
Ing to Capt. Mischicoff of the general
staff plans had been mapped out
whereby 100000 trained men could be
put In the field on the opposite side of
the Macedonian frontier in two weeks
In another two weeks two more armi es
OF 100000 men each could be placed
on a war footing
Military service is compulsory, two
years being the minimum term, and a
man stays Is years in the reserve
after he has completed his time with
the colors. Consequently, the whole
able-bodied male population of the
country has been trained in arms.
The army is divided into nine mill
tary districts, each of them the head
quarters of division which, on a war
footing. would become an army corps.
Similarly the entire army is organized
on skeleton basis The regiments.
whose peace footing is 500 men, would
be increased to the strength of the
japanese regiments, a trif1e more than
1000 men.
Drilled on American System.
Bulgaria's cavalry has been drilled
on the American system. Shock tao
tics are never used, and the men are
taught to make themselves of use in
accommodating and scouting Possibly
the total force of the cavalry corps
would be 1000 sabers. So far as
mounts go, it has the best Hungarian
or Russian horses that money can
buy, quite up to those in the American
service.
The artillery has recently been
equipped with so brand-new six-gun
field batteries of the Creusot make.
and, all told, probably has about 600
qulck-fring guns, not counting ma
chine guns and heavy siege pieces.
The infantry, which is splendid fight
ing material, carries the Mannlicher
fve-shot rifle and knife bayonet. and

been under fire in the Macedonian
revolt 1t was a favorite trick, while
the revolution lasted, for officers to
be given leave of absence for an in
definite length of time, to visit their |
friends They went across the frontier |
with the insurgent chetas.
Perhaps the greatest military advan- |
tage Bulgaria possesses lies in the /
TACT that both her personnel and equip |

This is based on statements by Off

Provisions of the Treaty.
