italy Holds KEY TO The
SITUATION IN The Balkans

BY The United Press.
ROME. Sept 24-That the attitude
OF the Balkan States towards the
present war will depend on what
Italy does Is now a certainty. Italy
holds tho key to the situation. Both
Roumania and Greece are waiting TO
take their cue from Italy. The great
obstacles to a united Balkan con-
iederacy against Germany and Aus
tria has been Bulgaria. The latter
has been inclined to sympathize with
Germany. Her armies have had the
assistance of German military ex-
ports. The German diplomatic
methods have made a favorable inn
preston. And Germany had con-
fidently expected that Bulgaria would
side with Turkey and in her favor
if it became necessary.
The Gear was quick 10 realize this
fact. He rushed confidential agents
20 Bulgaria and they at first pleaded
for the absolute neutrality of Bull
garia. Then the Car sent a per-
scnal appeal to Prince Boris, who is
his godson and the latter has ever
since thrown his influence on the side
of Russia. It is now believed that
when war comes Bulgaria Will be
lined up on the side Of the allies.
Advices received here today from
almost a unit for participation in the
war. The new Roumanian cabinet is
anti-German in its composition. Rou-
mania wants, however. to follow
