SITUATION IN BALKANS
sHRoUDED IN MYSTERY
Other States in Arms Awaiting to Sec
What Bulgars Will Do.

London, Sept. 26, 1905 D.. m.-The
situation in the Balkans and the in
tentions of Bulgaria are still sur
rounded with considerable mystery.
Bulgaria, which had been definitely
placed on the side of the central pow
ers as the result of recent news from
Sofia, officially informed the entente
powers today that her mobilization had
been ordered in the national interests
and that it had not the slightest ag-
gressive character
The Bulgarian premier, NJ. RADIO
slavoff, in an interview with the Sofia
correspondent of the Berlin Tagesblatt,
reiterated this statement, but 1t is
noteworthy that while he said the
measure was not directed against
Greece or Rumania, he omitted Servia,
attacks on which state have been con-
sidered the intention Of the Bulgarian
government in their effort to regain
Macedmonia.
Such an attack, it is pointed out,
would bring Greece to the side of her
ally and, as in the last Balkan war
Greece, Serbia, and possibly Rumania
Rumania has already modified and
Greece isataking similar action. The
conclusion therefore. has been drawn
here that they at least fear that Bull
garia has aggressive designs If not
against Greece, then against Serbia
| King Constantine and the Greek
premier, NJ. Venizelos, apparently have
entirely composed the differences which
led to their separation when the pre-
mier early in the war wanted to joir
| the allies against Turkey.
/ The whole matter may yet bt
| smoothed over, as Bulgaria is contin.
uing her negotiations with the ententt
powers, the Bulgarian minister at Pet.
rograd having had a long conferenc,
| with the Russian foreign minister, NJ
Sazonoff, while the ministers at otheI
capitals insist that the Bulgarian.
would not fight against their olC
friends, Great Britain and Russia
On the other hand. the Austro- Ger
man offensive against Serbia, which
seems to have been delayed, Nigh
light the torch which would set tn
whole Balkans af1ame.

m.-The apostolic delegate at Con-

TO the Vatican report describing the
massacre Of Armenians- He says that
in the present situation OF the Europ-
can powers Germany and Austria can
not interfere because they are allied
with Turkey. while the other powers
can do nothing because they are at
war with Turkey.
The only possible assistance, adds
Monsignor Dolci, can come from
America, whose ambassador is using
every effort to relieve and protect the
prosecuted Armenians, but the needs
are greater than the means to enforce
the humanitarian principles which he
represents"
