LONDON, September 19.--Unceyn-
tainty prevails as 10 the near future
in the Balkans, although Downing
Street intimates that all is going well
in the difficult negotiations under way
for the alignment Of the neutral Balk-
nm powers with the Entente.
A despatch from Paris yesterday
: states that the Entente Powers have
gent joint note TO King Ferdinand Of
Bulgaria asking the Intentions of his
government. While the note is not in
the nature Of an ultimatum it IL ex.
lpeeted to bring out the Information as
TO the exact status Of the alleged M.
derstanding with Turkey, whereby Bull
garia is said TO have acquired the ter
ritory through which the Turkish loop
of the Dedehagath railroad runs, as
fwell as Bulgaria's intentions respect,
ling the offer Of Greece and Serbia to
lcede certain portions Of Macedohia In
exehange for Bulgaria 3 armed suppori
lin the war. 5a As
TO Cheer the Turks 3t4a
1 The British uneasiness Is added "a
Thy an announcement from CONSTANT
nozzle, via Berlin, which quotes EnveI
Pascha, one Of the Turkish trinmvirate,
as saying that great German army will
soon be on Turkish soil for the support
Of the Turks on the Gallipoh PENN

\ It's pointed out, however, that such
an announcement, IL II has been made
il clearly intended for home eohsump'
ton. The resistance Of the Turkish
troops against the Allies on the Gal
lfipoli Is fast being worn down and The
announcement Of Teutonic reinforce
lments Is probably intended to stiffeu
the confidence of the Tutke In their &c
,fense and improve their morale,
j Dispatches from both Paris and Ams
terdam Indicate that the Ottoman 81
tnation Il such that the active all OF
German arms Is believed in CONSTANT
ERcpie to be the only hope Of Turkey
From o score OF European point
unofficial dispatches indicate two pos
sible courses by Germany to bring re
lief to her Moslem ally. One Is a Ger
man declaration Of war against Ital,
land the mobilization of large fore,
of German la1dstrum on the Italian
frontier for direct attack through tn,
Alphine passes, the other q probabl,
attempt to cut through Bulgarian ter
ritory thus to oyerawe the waverin;
Balkan nations and to bring direct re
lief to constantinople. Is. y.
