ALLIES ASK BULGARIA
TO DECLARE POSITION
Joint Note Sent to Belgrade Calls on
Government to Take Deci-
Sive Stand.
MESSAGE IS NOT ULTIMATUNI
Powers Decide to Test Good Faith
by Submitting Recent Concessions
Made by Serbia-Turning Point in
Balkan Situation.

PARIS. September 1s-The entente
allies have presented a joint note to
the Bulgarian government asking in
effect that 1t declare itself as between
them and the central powers. The note,
howerer.Sis not In tho nature of an
ultimatum @
The note was sent In pursuance Of
decision by tho allied powers to test
the good faith of Bulgaria by sub
mitting the recent concessions made
by Serbia with the view Of securing
from Bulgaria n definite statement as
to her position.
Although the note does not fix date
for a reply. diplomats familiar with it's
contents say it is of nature requiring
Bulgaria to take n stand one way or
the other. 1t points out that tho allied
powers are now prepared to offer tho
Serbian concession on Bulgaria's claims
TO disputed territory. and asks If the
offices Of the allies will bring about
Bulgaria's cooperation with the other
Balkan states.
Bulgarian advices were somewhat
contradictory concerning the nature OF
the note.
Regarding the agreement between
Turkey and Bulgaria for the Turkish
railway concession. the understanding
here is that the arrangement had been
made, but thnt the date for the trans
fer has not yet been definitely fixed.
Officials and diplomats are await
ing Bulgaria's answer as the turning
point in the Balkan situation.
