Bulgaria for War.

Bulgaria for War.
Berlin, via London, Oct. 5.-A dis
patch from Sofia dated Oct 4 says:
Premier Radolslavoff, of Bulgaria
made the following declaration to rep
resentatives of the government party:
We confront war and must defend
our national interests. We must wrest
from our enemies everything they took
from US two years ago and get satisfac'
ton for every insult"
London, Oct. 5.-Greece is now the
central point of the storm which is
likely to break over the Balkans at
any moment. The Greek premier,
Elutherios Venizelos, has carried his
policies throughout the Greek cham
Der with majority of 40, some mem
bers not voting, but the Athens cor
respondent of the Havas agency is au-
thority for the announcement that
Venizelos later resigned, because King
Constantin informed him that he was
unable to support the policy of his
ministry.
The French have landed 10000
troops at Saloniki. Replying to an
Interpolation in the Greek chamber re-
specting the occupation of Saloniki,
Premier Venizelos said:
"They (the entente powers) offer
Serbia, Greece's ally, succor in the
event of circumstances which would
require Greece herself, under her alli-
ance, to give Serbia help"
Russias ultimatum to Bulgaria ex-
PRED at o'clock this afternoon, but
up to late hour tonight, so far as was
known in London, no answer had been
received and none was expected.
1t is taken for granted that King
Ferdinand and his ministers are def
nitely committed to the Germanic al
lies and in return for territory to be
coded after the war-some ports, in
Guiding Constantinople and all that
remains of European Turkey-has I'M
dertaken to assist activity in the op-
GRAFTON against Serbia, thus hoping
to open the way for the Austro.Ger-
man army the objective of which is
the Sea of Marmora.
The entente powers in this belief
have landed troops at Saloniki which
takes upon itself the duty of protect
ing the main railroad through Serbia
and Greece and give what assistance
it can to the Balkan allies, should they
be attacked by Bulgaria.
This infringement Of Greek neutral
ity has brought forth a formal protest
from the Greek government, but in the
words of one correspondent, it lis be-
ing winked at" by the great majority
of the people of Greece.
The next move devolves upon Bull
garia and as soon as she moves, the
Anglo-French troops which are being
modified will be put in motion, while
the feet in the Black Sea and Aegean
Sea will assume their appointed roles.
Meanwhile, Russia, whose armies for
five months have been retiring, has
begun an energetic offensive along a
wide front from Riga to southeast of
Villa and according to unofficial re-
ports have already met with consid-
cradle success. This, however, is de-
MED by Berlin which says that all the
Russian attacks have been repulsed.
On the western front the big guns
have again undertaken the task of at
tempting to level the German en-
trenchments, presumably in prepare
ton for a continuation Of the attack
which proved successful in Artois and
Champagne.
The Earl of Derby, at the request
OF Lord Kitchener, has undertaken on
to himself the duty Of recruiting the
army. The Earl served in South
Africa as chief press censor and later
as private secretary to Field Marshal
Lord Roberts during the Boer war.
