that the leaders of all the opposition
parties in Bulgaria have held meeting
at which it was decided to publish an
appeal to the country explaining the
international political situation as af-
fecting that nation. The appeal will be
made on the ground that under present
circumstances the attitude taken by the
government is perilous.
The Bulgarian governments decision
to make terms with Turkey has met
with considerable opposition. Advices
from Bucharest recently represented a
majority of Bulgarian statesmen as
favoring a rapprochement with the
quadruple entente, Serbia and Greece.

Serbia has done her duty fully as an
ally" said Premier Pachitch, as quoted
by the correspondent at Nish of the
Petit Pariene. First, she has soundly
beaten the Austrians; second, she has
made the concessions asked of her by
her great allies in order to bring Bull

Whether Bulgaria will come into the

WASHINGTON LETTER
(FrOm our Regular Correspondent

PREDICT MEXICAN INTERVIEW
TION:-Certain close friends of the
President predict Intervention in
Mexico late in the autumn. They
expect that by that time the difficult
ties with Germany will have been
settled and they do not believe it will
be possible longer to avoid interven-
ton. Some of them admit that they
would prefer for political reasons, to
postpone interventions until the
approach of the presidential election,
as they believe the American people
would not consent to swap horses in
the middle of a stream. All reports
from Mexico, however, indicate the
direst conditions, with pillage and
starvation stalking unimpeded through
the unfortunate land. These condi
tons are reported not only by the
Brazilian Minister, who has repre-
scented the United States in Mexico
City with such ability as to win con-
fidence and admiration, but by the Red
Cross agents as well. The Carranza
agency in Washington has intimated
that the Red Cross is disposed to ex
aggerate the conditions, but this init
nation has served to arouse distruSt
of and resentment toward the Carran-
~t"s rather than disbelief in the Red
Cross.
