BuIgar-Roumanian
Breach Increases

SOFIA. Jan 11.-Bulgaria has be-
gun to strengthen her fortresses upon
the Roumanian frontier, and troops sta
toned at Stara Zagora are being
moved uorthward. These precautionary
movements became known today after
if had been learned that the Roumanian
Government has been in constant COM
munication with the Turkish govern
ment for 80 hours, and that numerous
messages have passed between Bucha-
rest and Constantinople.
The indications are that Roumania is
working to effect an agreement with
Turkey and that the Bucharest govern
ment contemplates using such an agree
ment to coerce Bulgaria to give up ter
ritory demanded by Roumania as the
price of neutrality.
Roumania feels further security in
consequence of her offensive and de
feusive treaty with Austria. and in the
event of a break with Bulgaria would
look to Austria for aid. unless the pow
ers openly voiced their intention Of pre-
venting such assistance from being
given.
The Buigatiau commissioners today
notified Roumauia that they would not
cede K5yarua TO Roumania.
Roumauia. after her original demands
were returned by the Bulgarlans. made
fresh proposals which included Kavar-
ma. an important Black Sea port.
This refusal by Bulgaria has further
intensified the hostile feeling of the
Roumanians. and kilograms from Buch-
Arrest say that many citizens there are
demanding war against Bulgaria.
Now lis the time to strike" is the
slogan of the Roumanian jingoes

hope to get it through in such a
form that those who have al
ready used the right on the old

this law TO supplement and ac-
quire more land up to GAO acres.

a sum in fencing, wells, and
