GENERAL BALKAN
CLASH EXPECTED
Bulgaria Practically on
War Footing and
Ready for Ring
SITUATION SERIOUS
Germany Said tc be Working ,t'
Thwart .aliiance-Greece and
Roumauia VIII Intervene.

London, ApfEiiD.--bdlSsV lef' -
from the Balkans indicate that gen
eral clash is much nearer than gen.
orally believed.
Bulgaria is practically or war
footing and the general hatred felt
towards Serbia and Greece through
out that country is becoming rap
idly intensified, according to dis
matches from Sofia. 1t is the impress
sion here that unless some uneH-
pcctsd event occurs Bulgaria Will soon
be up in arms and fighting for Ger
many.
The general aspect of the Balkan
situation has changed speedily.
Early dispatches from Rome sa!d
the Bulgarian attack upon guards
men along the Serbian border was
considered as mere frontier Incl
dent, sufficiently serious in ITSELF
but unlikely to lead to an open
preach between the two countries.
This attack, according to informa-
lion from Rome. is generally known
% have been instigated by Germany
with the hope of bringing on war be-
tween Serbia and Bulgaria and thus
making Il complete Balkan alliance
impossible.
In view of the fact, however. that
Greece and Rounania are determined
TO intervene in behalf Of Serbia. Bul-
,a~ia, said the early reports from
Rome, would naturally be loth to
commit any hostile act toward Serbia
and thus incur the enmity Of Serbia :
allies. This seemed especially TO be
the case. because war with Serbia
would leave Bulgaria in complete iso-
alton, there being nc possibility OF
help from Austria or Germany
The impression was general AT first
hat the Bulgarian attack or Serbian
frontier guards had been in some way
CLOSED over by the diplomats of the
two countries and that all chances OF
complications arising out OF 1t were
,verted. The Italian newspapers
said the dispatches had concluded
that the affair would simply hasten
The reformation of the Balkan League
md thus would Illustrate the intrlgues
of Austria and Germany against the
rehabilitation of the league
Later dispatches from Sofia. how
ever, and other points in the Balkans
,aid flatly that the situation was
viewed with the greatest alarm and
hat all indications pointed unmistak-
ably to the fact that decisive events
ire impending.
