Sofia. Sept (via London, Sept. 81
Although a decision of the Bulgarian
government on the Macedonian ques-
ton is considered imminent, for II is
realized that this issue soon must
eliminate in more than diplomatic con-
versation. there are no signs Of excite
ment here.
At the Foreign Office this afternoon
the following statement was made to
The Associated Press correspondent;
"The Bulgarian government is en-
Gagged in formulating its reply to the
Serbian government, although Seroias
statement has not yet been received,
being guided ir this by an intimatlon
recently given by the Quadruple En-
tente. Meanwhile the Bulgarian gov
eminent is continuing its negotiations
with the Turkish government concern
ing the cession of the Lypimetz-
Adrianople- Dedeaghatch railroad line
and certain adjacent territories OF
great strategic importance. The pros
meets of a quick and satisfactory set
Element are good, although hitherto
the Turkish government has required
much time in reaching decisions on
matters contributory to the main issue.
Shun Adventurous Career.
"The Bulgarian government is not
inclined TO embark upon an adVentnr-
ous career. Statements 10 the contrary
nurnorting to come from Bulgarian
sources are made by political oppo-
nents of the government, who are using
them among the people for internal po-
litical purposes. Now, as heretofore
the Bulgarian government IS GUIDED by
three factors:
First, the non acceptance OF the
Treaty of Bucharest, which was not
ratified by the National Assembly, ana
which is not acceptable to Bulgaria so
long as it remains unrevised.
Second, the unwilllngness OF the
Bulgarian people TO engage IN a war
the outcome of which is at all doubtful.
Third, the absolute necessity, OF CON
vincinR the Bulgarian people that
whatever action is undertaken, for
result 10 be achieved will be such that
no BETRAYAL afterward will be posi-
BILE"
Want All of Macedonia.
From other governmental sources It
vas learned that the Bulgarian gov
eminent and the Bulgarian people have
in rowise modified the policy toward
Macedonia outlined in February last
in a statement to The Associated Press
nv Premier Radoslavof. who declared
tba+ the domination of Macedonia by
Serbia and Greece had produced re
suits Numerically opposite to the
PRINCIPLES for which Bulgarians had
stood for many centuries, and that
Bulgaria could not afford TO remain
needless Of the appeals OF the mace
domains.
Bulgaria, it is learned, wants all Of
Macedonia, and not only those parts
made the subject Of recent notes by
the Quadruple Entente. Meanwhile
the Entente powers insist that Bulgaria
earn these parts by making war on
Turkey. while the proposals OF the
central powers never went furthef
than to demand the free passage
through Bulgaria OF materials needed
by Turkey. II is argued mere thaV
while the proposals of the Entente
powers would. if accepted. involve the
shedding Of Bulgarian blood against
Turkey. those coming from the otner
side do not necessarily demand TINS
from a nation still keenly mindful OF
lis losses in the recent Balkan war.
Turk Defence Impresses.
All Macedonia" is the slogan now
Of all circles in Bulgaria, although the
country is still divided into two camps
az 70 the best method by which the
coal NAV be reached. The ability OF
the Turkish army in beating of at
tacks on the Gallipoli peninsula mas
meanwhile made a deep impression
here. A high military officer said TO-
day:
@Evidently the Turkish army Of to-
day is altogether unlike the army we
fought two years ago.
Duke Johann Albrecht Of Mecklen-
burg Schwerin, ex-regent Of Brunswick,
who recently was in ConstsntinopIe on
a diplomatic. mission, is now IN soma
accompanied by a Berlin Foreign Oihce
expert on Balkan affairs.
No change in the situation is hkely
during the next eight days.
