N-SLAV|SM MAY Be
DOOMED, SAYS MASON
Car Will Lose Balkan Prestige
II Bulgaria Opposes Him,
Declares Expert.
BY J. w. T. MASON.

NEW YORK. Oct. I-Russia's ultima
tum to Bulgaria Ia the final effort
which will determine whether the
Csar has lost the original cause Of the
European conflict.
Primarily. the was was brought about
because Russia and Austria Hungary
wanted each to exercise practically
suzerain powers over the Balkan states.
II Bulgaria refuses to heed Russia at
this juncture, Petrograd will not recov-
er Its vanished Balkan prestige for many
years to come.
BY permitting Russia to act alone in
addressing twenty-four-hour ulti-
matum to Bulgaria. the other pbwers OF
the quadruple entente recognize the
Cars superior rights In the Balkans.
Russia IL given q free hand to keep her
Slav proteRe loyal to Pan-Slav aspira-
tions. and eway from the temptations
Of the rival Germanic intrcsts.
May Shatter Pan.Slavism,
II the Sofia government pays atten-
tion to Russia's demand, the Car can
claim that his racial influence prevent
ed Bulgaria from seriously adding to
the troubles Of the allies. Russia will
thus be In position to claim a para
mount position in the Balkans, even
though her armies are unable to expei
the Austro-Germans from Russian soil.
But. II despite Russia's adnnonition.
Bulgaria enters the war with the allies
enemies. the Cars power In southeast
ern Europe will be shattered Slavism
cannot by any possibility then be re-
established In the Balkans by the slavs
themselves. for the only Slav power
available for the work will be Serbia.
The Serbs are quite Incapable, of
course. Of holding back the Austro-
Germans and the Bulgars. II the work
Is to be done at all It must be through
the efforts Of the non-slav nations
Should the Austro- Germans and the
Bulgars be prevented from over-run-
ming Serbia by Great Britain. France.
Italy. and probably Greece and Rou-
mania as well. Russia would have no
claim for consideration.
Gain to the Balkans.
No dominant control thereafter could
be exerted by the Car at the Balkan
capitals. because Russia would possess
| neither material nor racial influence.
IL Bulgaria enters the war against
Russia. she must enter II also against
Pan-Slavism. The two cannot be sep
arated. This doesn't mean that the
, overthrow Of Slav dominance In the
Balkans will mean the establishment Of
Germanic suzerainty. II Russia Is to
be defeated over the initial cause Of
the war. SO probably Is Austria Hun
gary. In the end. the Balkan states
are likely. therefore; 70 have more lib
hereafter. to be under the control Of no
| single power.
