London, Oct. AT the hour when
Russia s warlike ultimatum to Bulgaria
expired today, Car Ferdinand s inten-
lions were unknown here. 1t was be-
lieved possible, however, that the Slav
demands had gone unanswered and that
the Russian minister and ais staff had
departed from Sofia, as ordered to do
il Bulgaria did not break off with Rus
sia S enemies and order out German
military offices. Petrograd though had
said earlier that she would accept moth
ing but this complete backdown, with
pledge to sever relations with the
central empires.
Russia still hopes war may be averted
even following such a step as the min
isters withdrawal. This nope is based
on the possibility that the Bulgaria cab
met may change its policy when it real.
ICES that if she acts otherwise, the al
lies mean war.
If hostilities result, however, the
Slavs may strike first, though the Bull
garians are within a few hours march
Of the Serbian border and prepared for
any outcome.
The Russian fleet was reported to be
near Vrana, an important Black sea
port apparently ready for blow.
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1915-10-04

iginal cause Of the war. The great
struggle was primarily caused by the
fact that Russia and Austria Hungary
each wanted to exercise suzerain pow
ers over the Balkans
If Bulgaria refuses to need Russia
now, Petrograd will not recover her
vanished prestige for years to come.
By permitting Russia to act alone in
her ultimatum, the other powers rec
ognize the others superior rights in the
Balkans. If Sofia heeds its demands,
he can claim that his racial influence
prevented Bulgaria from adding to the
allies troubles bysjoining the German
standards. Russia thus would be in a
position to claim paramount posi-
tion in the Balkans, even though she
is unable to expel the Germans from
Russia.
But if Bulgaria enters the war, with
the Austro-G Germans the czar's power
in southeastern Europe will be shat.
tered The Serbs are incapable of
checking both the Teutons and Bulgari-
ans and if they are checked, it must
be by non-Slav nations. Hence, should
Britain, France and Italy with possibly
Greece and Rumania check tnem, Rus
sia would be in no position to claim
consideration in that territory.
Overthrow of Pan Slavism however,
does not mean establishment of a Teu-
tonic snzeranity and in the end, the
Balkans are likely to have more liberty
of action without being controlled by
any single power.
