BULGARIAN MOVE
ALREADY AN AID
TO SERBIA'S FOES
King Peter Forced to
Withdraw Troops from
Northern Frontier.
rBy Gable to The Tribune. ]

London, Oct. l.--An Athens dispatch
to "The Daily News" reports that the
massing of German troops on the Ser
bian frontier near 0rsova continues. IL
is stated that the Bulgarians are con-
centrating on the Serbo-B Bulgarian
frontier, and that this has obliged
Serbia to transfer 10000 troops to
this line in order to be prepared to re-
sist any future attack Serbia's strength
along the Austrian frontier has thus
been weakened, so, even as things are
to-day. Bulgaria, it may be said, has
already lent assistance to the Austro-
Germans.
Many German officers have arrived IN
Sofia. and are consulting with the Bull
earian general STAFF These Germans
declare that the campaign against Ser
bia will begin in the middle OF October.
A Paris dispatch published here says
that the French government has ar
rived at a definite decision as to what
should be done TO avert an attack on
Serbia by Bulgaria. The Indications
are that Russia will assent % this plan,
that Italy will not oppose it and that
England probably will give her adher-
ence. The nature of the plan is not
disclosed. but lie Temps" states that
the situation in the Balkans requires
that the prospective Bulgarian attack
OF. Serbia shall be prevented by de-
mand on Bulgaria for immediate de-
mobilization.
The number Of Austro- German troops
concentrated on the Serbian frontier
is estimated by the Nish correspond
ent of "Ie Temps" at 100000. He says
that 350,000 of these are Germans.
The correspondent az Petrograd Of
"Ie Temps" says that approval is given
in influential quarters at the Russian
capital TO the idea OF joint occupa-
tion of Macedonia by the Allies. IL Is
believed this would be an effective
means of keeping Bulgaria and Serbia
apart and Of defeating German efforts
TO bring Bulgaria into the war.
King Ferdinand early this week re-
ouested VI. Malinoff, leader of the pro-
Russian party, 70 take post IN the
Radosavloff government. VI. Malinof
replied, however. that he would accept
Office only on condition that Bulgaria
remained neutral until the end Of the
war. The King declared II was impos-
sible TO give such an undertaking, be-
cause a specific direction had already
been given to Bulgaria's foreign policy,
but he urged that 1t would be well if
prominent politicians now outside the
government would enter il, and thus
secure the unity of all parties. VI. NAL
inof definitely declined the invitation.
VI. Tonchef, Minister of War, whose
pro German tendencies are notorious,
rendered his resignation a few days
ago. The fact that King Ferdinand
has refused to accept the resignation is
considered significant.

Washington, Sept. 30.-Count Won
BcrnstorfF, in his efforts TO stop the
shipment Of munitions to the Allies and
TO cause a relaxation of the British
blockade, considered and rejected plans
for influencing legislation in Congress
This is indicated in letter signed by
the German Ambassador and taken with
other documents from J. F. J. Archi-
bald. This letter and several OF the
othei documents were sent by the
State Department TO the Department OF
Justice to-day for scrutiny.
Count Won Bernstorif. IN New YORK
on September 16, denied that any un-
neutral documents signed by hlmsell
would be found on Archibald He fur
ther stated that no papers of any KIND
had been liven by him to Archibald
He declared: ~

now say again, that | gave Archloald
no papers of any kind. The only things

possibility be accounted unneutral

was not absolutely neutral IN every
respect. II they want TO forge docu-
ments on me, very we'll; let them go
ahead and do so. That will not AFFECT
me. All have done in this matter IS
perfectly honorable and customary and
proper" ,.. r
The possibilities and difficulties OF
obtaining the kind of legislation de-
sired from Congress- and the impossi-
bilitv of moving the President to take
action in behalf of Germany were DIS
cussed at some length not only by Count
Won Bernstorff, but also in letter
signed by Captain Won Papen. the mill
taTv attache of the German Embassy.
Besides these two important letters
the existence of which was not made
known until to-day. a cipher message
from Count Won Bernstorf was lnclud-
ed in the papers sent TO the Depart
ment of Justice. This message was
coded in such curious cipher tnat

its translation is still battling the cX-
perts, and apparently there IS snght
hope Of solution.
In this second batch OF the Archibald
letters. sent by the State Department 20
the Department of Justice, there were
a number of less importance, such as
letters of introduction for Captain
Archibald. Comment on the papers was
refused at the Department OF Justice
by the Assistant Attorney General, VINO

that he had not yet arrived at any con
clusion. and would not until ne nad

At the Department OF Justice II was

Described Task as Difficult.
There was nothing in the letter OF
Count Won Bernstortf or in that OF
Captain Won Papen to indicate that the
German government had demanded or
suggested any such action as an at
tempt TO influence legislation or the
President. The letters were not framed
as reports, but they went into some
detail in explaining the difficulties
which surrounded the task. particularly
of moving the President to take action
which would favor Germany.
Both letters stated positively that
nothing could be done to influence the
President 70 take any action whlcn
might result in the modification OF the
British blockade. In discussing the
problem of getting legislation from
Congress. the letters pointed out that
while there was a chance of getting
favorable action from the HOUSE OF
Representatives, it was a sheer I'M
possibility in the Senate. and that
therefore any effort to influence Con-
gress was futile.
1t was pointed out here tonight that
the House was the scene OF a the
pro-German speeches and nearly all
the campaign against the export OF mu-
nitions of war. In the Senate the one
man who was vigorously in favor OF an
embargo on arms shipments at the last
session was Senator Hitchcock. of Ne
braska. Since that time there has been
some protest against the British Orders
in Council, but that agitation Is not
nearly so vigorous now as 1t was few
months ago. because the rising price OF
cotton has in large part stilled it.

Experiments Described.

"The results obtained by Carly are
the elimination OF long and very I'M
portant Investigations" said James u.
Ellsworth. of the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company. These n
yestigations have extended over many
wears. During the early spring OF TINS
year, as result of the work ALREADY
done, the engineers OF the company
talked over distance OF ABOUT %oV
miles. using an experimental tower
which they had erected near Montauk
Point. Long Island. and a small tower
borrowed for the purpose from private
owners at Wilmington, Delaware.
"Soon after that they talked over
one thousand miles, using the expert
mental tower at Montauk Point and an
cxporimental tower at st. Simon's ISL
and. Ga. The results of these tests
demonstrated the correctness of their
work and its possibilities. Steps were
taken Immediately to try distances
comnarable with those involved IN
transatlantic telephony. What the re-
suits Of these further tests have been
il shown BY the talks yesterday to san
Francisco and to-day TO Hawaii.
"Another interesting feature Of the
tests Yesterday and to-day was that
the ability 10 connect wireless tc!c-
phone systems with wire. telephone,
svstems was shown. You have noted
