Neutral, Says Berlin.

zeIos cabinet, taken in connection
with the Premier's resignation, is in
terpreted as an open break between
the ministry and King Constantine.
Venizelos has long been recognized as
a strong partisan of the allies.
Bulgaria Throws Off Pretense.
BERLIN - All doubt of the in
tentions of Bulgaria were set at rest
by an important statement made by
Premier RadOslavOff and published In
the Lokal Anzeiger. Bulgaria rejects
any pretext that her mobilization was
made for the defense of her neutral
1ty.
Bulgaria will extend her frontiers
toward the northwest and the south"
the prime minister is quoted as say
ing. Later he added: "The situation
of the country and of the cabinet
makes a search for pretexts unnec'
essary."
Furthermore, it is definitely stated
that Roumania has come to an agree
ment with the central powers and
will remain neutral. Even Greece, III
the opinion of the Bulgarian premier,
will not oppose the offensive of the
central powers against Serbia.
Statement Is Official.
Premier Radoslavoff's statement was
made to delegates from the Stamboul-
off and Chen-Adieff parties. In the
account of the interview telegraphed
to the Lokal Anzeiger and given out
by the semi-official Trans-Ocean News
Service, he is quoted as saying:
Bulgaria is justified in the hope
that her situation will be more ad-
vantageous than it has been hereto
fore. Events coming in the near flu
ture promise favorable results. Bull
garia will extend her frontiers toward
the northwest and the south.
"Our relations with Roumania are
cordial. The conflict between ROu-
mania and the central powers has al
ready been settled Roumania will be
neutral during the whole duration of
the offensive of the central powers
against Serbia, even if new complied
lions should arise in the Balkans. The
Roumanian government has declared
itself disinterested as to Serbia
Greece will maintain the same at
titude during the offensive of the cen,
trail powers"
Greece Doesn't Stop Allies Troops
ATHENS = The Greek govern.
ment has taken no steps to prevent
the landing of Anglo-French troops on
Greek soil or to check their march
toward Serbia, Premier Venizelos de
clared in response to question put
to him in the chamber of deputies.
He further emphasized the serious
ness of the Balkan situation by stat
ing that the allies have withdrawn the
proposals for territorial concessions
they made to Bulgaria several months
ago. There will be no further negotia
tions with the Bulgars, Venizelos in
timated, unless Car Ferdinand makes
satisfactory reply to the Russian
ultimatum.
If a protest has been made against
the landing of troops it is believed
here to have been merely a formality
Prince Nicholas, who led the GreeE
troops in the last Balkan war, will be
made commander in chief at Saloniki
it is reported.
