} INTERNAL CRISIS IN
BULGARIA IS FEARED;

Bombardment of DardaneIIes Con-
tinues; New Warships in

GREEK SITUATION UNCHANGED
Premier Radoslavoff Overthrow
by King Ferdinand. Says

CREEK SITUATION UNCHANGED

Bulgaria, considered the least likely
of any OF the Balkan nations now al
peace to join the allies, is confronting
an internal crisis over the question OF
peace or war. Reports reaching Pari:
state that Premier Radoslavoff has
been overthrown by the influence OF
King Ferdinand because he desired
immediate action against Turkey. The
plan of the premier and his follow
ers as thus outlined was to occupy
Adrianople provided Greece threw in
her lot with the triple entente.
The course to be followed by Greece
is still to be determined, although
King Constantine. in his opposition
TO war. is said to have the support of
the general staff. The main argument
advanced against joining with the
allies is that an attack on Constan-
tinople would weaken the military
strength of Greece along the border
of Bulgaria, which would be regarded
as dangerous in view of the relations
OF the two countries.
NJ. Zaimis, requested by King Con-
stantine to form a cabinet, has de-
cltned, and member of the chamber
of deputies, NJ. Gounaris, has under
taken the task.
Paris dispatches mention several
warsfhps not named before as mem
bers of the allied fleet which is at
tackinS the Dardanelles. AS the
strength of the British North Sea fleet
apparently has not been weakened.
the inference is drawn that Great
Britain and France are bringing in for

Washington, March O. - While
awaiting a formal reply to the repre-
sentations 10 General Carranza to take
steps TO improve conditions in Mexico
City, the Administration to-day began
taking steps to carry out what most
of the foreign diplomatic corps here
interpreted as an entire change of at
titude toward the whole Mexican situa-
ton.

admiral, who commanded the force
which took the town from Huerta last
April will not so, but he was instructed
to send flag officer to take COM
mand.
General Carranza made an oral
denial of charges made against him.
President Wilson describing the lat
est representations, said Carranza has
been called upon by the United States
to take the necessary steps to pro-
tect foreigners in Mexico City, and had
been informed of what the Washington
government had heard of conditions
there and how serious they seemed to
be.
Must Discount Reports
When asked whether the United
States had any new intentions in Mex
leo, the President reiterated that the
government had represented its views
on what appeared to be the situation
in Mexico City. lie added that in all
such situations, it was necessary to
discount reports great deal, because.
he said. certain persons would like to
have the United States intervene in
Mexico, even if they had to manufac-
ture the facts on which to base the
Intervention.
When the President was asked If the
latest note to Carranza was an ulti-
matum, he replied the administration
did not issue ultimatums, but express
sed it's views and acted accordingly.
Speaking of conditions in the Mex
lean capital President Wilson referred
to the fear of outrages there as being
more pressing at present than anything

The Nebraskan Outrage.

II is impossible to view the German
memorandum on the torpedoing OF
the steamer Nebraskan otherwise
than as an admission on the part of
the Berlin government that it pro-
poses to continue to attack by sub
marines all belligerent ships without
warning or inquiry as to their char
acter. Also, that it does not consider
it necessary to take the precaution to
investigate as to ,the nationality OF
the ship before attacking. These
contentious must necessarily gravely
affect the issue between the United
States and Germany, relative to sub
marine warfare.
The Nebraskan was westward
bound from Liverpool. 1t was at
dusk, when according to maritime
practice the flag was lowered. Just
after the colors had been taken in
German submarine appeared and
fired torpedo, which fortunately did
not sink the vessel. but disabled her.
An expert examination of the hull
caused the report that she had been
torpedoed and not struck by mine,
a conclusion that is now fully verl-
fed by the German acknowledgment.
The vital issue in the Lusitania
case, according to the American view.
is that a German submarine should
not attack without warning. The
Nebraskan was thus attacked and
without the slightest justification.
She was a neutral ship, bound away
from the war zone and consequently
carrying no war munitions. The fact
that she bore no distinctive markings
and at the moment displayed no flag
cannot be accepted as an excuse or
justification for the German act. In
deed the explanation given from Ber-
lin, instead of palliating the offense,
only aggravates it. inasmuch as it is
sought to maintain the principle that
submarines are justified in attacking
on sight and on suspicion.
II is to be expected that in the
Forthcoming third American note on
the Lusitania this government will
strongly set forth the contention that
the attack upon the Nebraskan far
from being an excusable accident was
a fragrant violation of neutral rights
as we'll as a further infraction of the
law of humanity which requires that
warning be given before vessel is
attacked at sea

Of public buildings and grounds of
Col Harris, who has occupied that
post for the last two years, and no
intention at the War Department to
change his assignment. Col. Harris
has been most efficient in his care of
the public buildings and grounds at
the capital. and has been instru-
mental in the development of the
open spaces for recreation uses. His
plans for the treatment of Potomac
Park. particularly that portion lying
below the bridges. contain features
that will make for great public en-
joyment, and it is to be hoped that
he will be retained on duty in this
city long enough to carry these
projects through to execution.

The Lecture Platform,

In announcing the resumption of
his former activities Mr.. Bryan says :
Il consider the lecture platform not
only legitimate field, but very nee
essary."
No public man in America owes so
much to the lecture platform. In
deed, it may be said that all Mr..
Bryan is is based thereon. When
he left Congress-tweny years ago
last March-he began his lecture
tours, and by means of them intro
duced himself to great many more
people than he had been able to do
as member of the House. In twelve
months he established a wide ac-
quaintance in the south and west, so
that by the time the Chicago con-
vention met in 1896 he was well
known to the representative men of
those sections.
This assisted him in stampeding
that convention. Many of the dele
gates had heard him before and been
favorably impressed. In his conven-
ton audience were men who had
listened in their home towns to his
pleas for free silver coinage and his
deliverances on other subjects; and
they rose to him now almost as old
friends.
At that time the chautauqua oppor-
tunities were undeveloped as COM
pared with those of this time Now
they are large, for making both
money and reputation. A man, par
ticular1y with a gift for speaking,
finds employment for months to-
gether at a handsome figure, and can
arrange an itinerary taking him all
over the country.
AS Mr.. Bryan went straight from
Office to the lecture platform then,
he goes straight back again now He
was making an experiment then, but
feels he is playing certainty now.
is still great, and he will capitalize
it both in the way of gate receipts
and in forwarding the new cause to
which he is committed.
That cause is pacihcism. All that
Mr.. Bryan now represents in elo-
quence nd;personal popularity is at
the service of millennialism as ap-
Piled to our national affairs. His
remedy for peace is not prepared
ness for war, but unpreparedness.
He breaches moral suasion instead
OF adequate ornaments on land and
sea. If he can bring the people to
his side, we shall not get another
battleship or single additional SOL
der.
In twelve months Mr.. Bryan as a
lecturer so increased the force of the
free silver cause he made silver the
shibboleth of national campaign.
Is it in his power to do as much in
the same length of time for pacifi-
cism? Such is clearly his present
purpose.
