Russia Gives Bulgaria 24 Hours
To Break off Gern1arnc Alliance

Petrograd, (vla LondOn), Oct. g.
Unless Bulgaria has conceded today
the demands Of Russia concerning the
breaking off Of relations with the CEN
trail powers by o'clock this afternoon
the Russian minister at Sofia and his
staff will depart. However, as Rus
STA draws a distinction between the
Bulgarian government and the Bull
garian people, no repressive measures
will be adopted against Bulgarian sub
jects in Russia. Even M. Madjariow,
Bulgarian minister to Russia. will not
be expelled. His passports will not
be given to him and he will be permit
ted to remain undisturbed, although no
official relations will be maintained
with him as the representative Of King
Ferdinand.
The foreign office explains that the
fact that Russia alone sent an ult' ma
tum to Bulgaria is voluntary recogni-
ton on the part of her allies of this
nations predominance in the Balkans
and of her moral claim upon the graft
tude of the Balkan peoples.
Whether England. France and Italy
will withdraw their representatives at
Sofia in case Russia takes this action,
has not yet been decided.
Russia felt compelled to make this
move. in view Of the failure Of all eff
forts to bring pressure through other
means on King Ferdinand. It Is the
view Of the Russian government that
the recall Of it's minister would con-
vince the Bulgarian people that King
Ferdinand's policy Is dangerous.
The news agency gives the following
note which the minister at Sofia has
been ordered to hand to NJ. Radoslavoff,

Greece Definitely Committed
To Fight With Entente Allies

Athens. Oct. 3. (via Paris. Oct 6).-
All doubt as to the entrance Of Greece
into the war on the side of the entente
allies has now been disposed Of. The
official organ of the government says
that the landing Of the French troops
at Salonih Is for the purpose of as
sisting Greece.
In regard to the landing OF the French
troops the governmental organ says
that IL for the present the government
considers the assistance OF the allies as
premature. 1t Is none the less to aid and
support Greece that The allies are at
Saloniki. France and England enter
the Balkans as traditional friends OF
Greece and not otherwise. The Greek
government has seized the Macedonian
railroads Of which two are Austrian
and one French.

From Earth Disturbance
People Scared.

San Francisco. Cal. Oct. 5.-A series
Of earthquakes, believed to have orig
mated in the "Wasatch fault" under
lying Wasatch mountains in Utah, was
experienced Saturday, eliminating in
severe shocks at 1856 p. m. that were

Leader Of Radical Socialist
Group Forbidden to Speak

London. Oct 4.--More trouble be-
tween the German authorities and the
so called Llebknecht group of social
lists Is reported by the Morning Posts

dent says, have forbidden the follow

choose. Notwithstanding the signs d
hostility toward Serbia on the part OF
Bulgaria, the opinion Is expressed By
some well informed diplomats thar
Bulgaria will not fight and that even
though the government should elect to
do 80. the Bulgarian people would re-
sist such a policy.
In the meantime Sofia continues to
deny the existence OF the conditions on
which the Russian ultimatum Is based.
Negative action, however, will not
satisfy the allies, who demand that
Bulgaria shall openly break with the
enemies Of the Slav cause"
If the reports from Paris. Bucharest
and Athens Of the concentration OF
Teutonic troops on the Serbian frontier
are correct, the promptitude with which
Russia has taken up the German chal-
lenge Is explained.
According to those reports Field Mar
shall Won Mackensen has quit the east
ern front and is now near the Serbian
border at the head Of 100000 German
and Austrian troops with 1000 guns. IL
Is represented that he Is ready to re-
peat against Serbia his phalanx move
ments which cleared the Russians out
Of Galicia. In addition to this force
Bulgarians numbering $4,000 are said
to have been massed along the eastern
border Of Serbia.
If action by the entente powers
should become necessary when Bull
garia makes final disclosures Of her
Intentions, this action would be under%
taken by troops which are now in read
mess to take the field simultaneously
with the forces of Greece. The opinion
Is expressed here that prompt move
ment, such as would be undertaken.
would be likely to disentagle the coun-
ellis Of RumG.nia, which for the moment
seem obscure.

his life or that of the angry beast, fired
again and struck the latter in the chest

up for a moment but came on again
and this time the big game hunter gave
him the rest with a shot through the
head which brought him down.

 The bomb which killed the man and one woman, struck in the stree by the side of the house and made a hole into which the front of the house tumbled.
