1t wos understood that these in the
street deuartmert who are concerned
in the alleged Irregularities, are de-
sirous of having the matter conle TO
a head, and to have the thing cleared
up. Some whose names have been
brought into the inpIeasantness are
strongly DESTROYS Of having the probe
go as deeply as possible.
Just who is. personally responsible
for the alleged wrongs as have been
developed. as alleged, has net been
made public, as the commissions
who has been in closest touch with
the conditions has elected 70 excuse
himself from discussing the matter
in public, rather preferring to let the
investigation develop Just what It
might, and to let the blame fall where
it belongs.
In the meantime. however. it is
known that payrolls for manv months
back have been consulted. compared
and checked up, and that cancelled
checks in large numbers have been
brought from the recesses of the
vaults, evidently for comparison and
for probable use upon the occasion
of the public inquiry.
Developments of a rather inter-
esting character are expected before
the investigation is brought to con-
clusion. Commissioner johnson yes

e AssocIATEp PRESS.

London, Oct. 6.-Events of the past
few days in the Balkans may have a
greater weight in deciding the fate
of Europe than the greatest of the
battles of war. King Constantine of
Greece, a brother-in-law of the Ger
man emperor, appears to hold the
balance of the power for the hour in
the near east. When Greece seemed
on the point of entering war on the
entente. he dismissed the premier and
assumed personal control of the gov
eminent, with M. Zaimis as head Of
the new coalition cabinet.
Advices from Petrograd announce
that Bulgaria's reply to the Russian
ultimatum is unsatisfactory. The
Russian minister has informed Bull
garia Of the rupture. of diplomatic re-
lations between the two countries and
the Russian interests in Bulgaria have
been confded to Dutch representa-
tives. Bulgaria's reply to Russia was
sent Tuesday afternoon. At the same
time, it is said, Serbia was given
twenty-four hours to cede Macedonia.
s While the Greek cabinet crisis may
BOT retard the landing Of more allied
troops at Saloniki and the operations
toward the Servian frontier, actual
Greek support may be lacking and the
allies may need heavy reinforcements
King Constantine received the
French minister today but did moi
mention the landing of French troops
The entente powers hope the Greek
popular sentiment will force the king
from neutrality.
Military activity is reported on tbs
Bulgarian frontier to Roumania, bu
nothing indicates that Roumania vii
abandon her plan of neutrality.
