In the south is Delng dispersed east
ward and north by King Constantine.
The Greeks have not only cleared Sa-
lonica Of Bulgarians, but are still
marching TO victory, possessing them
selves Of Bulgarian conquests on the
Egean coast as they go along. The
latest news indicates that the Greek
and servian armies are once again able
to cooperate against their common
enemy.
Menaeed from All Sides.
Bulgaria is now menaced from all
sides Private information reached
London late last night that leaves
practically no doubt that the Ruman-
fan government is on the point Of wag
ing war with King Ferdinand. The
position is this: Rumania is not con-
tent with the small concessions grant
ed by Bulgaria OF Silistria and a strip
Of territory about three miles south,
as a result Of the recent negotiations
In ST. Petersburg. She is determined
now 10 obtain the whole region she
originally demanded as a reward for
her neutrality during the Turco- Bal
kan war. The district extends from
Turtukai on the existing frontier about
one hundred miles from the sea 10 Bal
chik on the Black Sea. II measures
roughly one hundred miles long by
twenty-five miles wide and contains
300 square miles Of land.
Rumania began several days ago 10
mobilize an army whose war strength
Is estimated at half a million. Early
next week she will probably act. Her
first and immediate step will be 10
cross the Danube and occupy the COW
sted territory and establish a rule
there. This will include the powerful
fortified city Of Slistria, al present the
property Of Bulgaria.
Bulgaria Faces Crisis.
Both from a military and diplomatic
point Of view Bulgaria is in a fearfully
difficult position. and matters are pre-
cipitating toward a crisis for her. II
IS semi officially announced from Bu-
charest that the Rumanian ultimatum
may be addressed TO Sofa at any hour.
From Vienna comes news Of the con-
citions on which Servia and Greece are
willing 10 end the war. Servia is ready
at any time 10 cease hostilities, but the
ante-war treaty must be regarded null
and void. Servia has no desire 10
humiliate Bulgaria. She only objects
to her assuming predominance in the
Balkans. Seryia does not claim for
herself anything more than what she
conquered from Turkey, that is TO say,
she will content herself with keeping
al the Macedonian territory at present
In her occupation. Greece will demand
all the territory she occupied in war
against Turkey and in Macedonian
territory only those towns with purely
Greek population.
p How far Bulgaria's defeat is due to
oissensions in high military quarters,
which resulted in the resignation of
General savon. and how far TO the fact
that the Bulgarian troops, which bore
the brunt Of the herd fighting in the
last campaign, were more exhausted
than the Greek and Servian forces will
probably never be known.
Rumsnia Complieates Problem.
Nothing can be predicted at the mo-
ment as to how events will shape them
selves. the Rumanian invasion Of Bull
garA having brought an entirely new
factor into the problem. Russia and
France are devoting their efforts 10
persuading the allies TO adopt a mod
crate attitude in order TO facilitate a
Peaceful settlement. The Servian Pre-
mier Is quoted in THE Vienna Neue
kTeie Presse" as declaring that the new
war has completely set aside all treaties
Of alliance and that peace must now
be negotiated on an entirely new basis.
Rumors were published in Berlin yes
terday, and according TO THE Daily
Telegraph's" correspondent at Athens
