Bulgarian Invasion Explained

London April THE Bulgarian
Tuesday of a note from his govern
ment disclaiming responsibility for the
described as Bulgarian irregulars. The
note repeats, in that main, what has
from Sofia. 1t is said the uprising
was initiated by Turks among the in
habitants of that part of Macedonia
included in Serbia. These Turks rose
in revolt, the note says, and fled to
Bulgarian territory, pursued by Ser
bian troops.
The Bulgarian frontier guards per-
formed their duties conscientiously
trying to protect the Serbian posts"
the note continues, this makes it
clear that the whole affair was one
involving the Serbian authorities and
the inhabitants of the affected regions
However, as the insurrection ap-
pears to be assuming considerable di
mensions and might bring Serbian
troops in proximity to the Bulgarian
frontier, Bulgaria requests Serbia to
take all necessary measures to pre-
vent Serbian troops from firing at Bull
garian posts"
In official Serbian quarters in Lon
don this explanation is not accepted.
1t is said that official kilograms re-
ceived today, indicate that more at
tacks are being prepared on Bulgarian
soil, with the immediate object of cut.
ting off the supplies of the Serbian
army"
1t is added that among the killed
were not only Turks, but Austrians,
and that on the bodies of the dead
were found documents showing the
purpose of the invasion.

DANISH OBSERVER SAYS IMPRES.

FEARS BRITISH INVASION -
GROUNDS FOR FEELING.

Copenhagen, April Ga Danish
manufactures who has just returned
from a business trip to Germany, un-
dertaken for the purpose of securing
various profitable contracts for the
supply of articles needed there, gives
detailed account of the elaborate
preparations made in the provinces
Of Schlcswig- Holstein to repel a
British invasion of that part of the
German empire.
Something like 100000 German
troops are concentrated along the
west coast of Schleswig-Holstein from
Brunsbuttel, at the mouth of the Kiel
canal, to the Danish frontier, and
particularly behind such ports of the
coast as are suitable for landing large
bodies of men and quantities of am
lance is maintained patrols are
passing up and down the coast always
on the alert for British warships
and British transports carrying men
in khaki to strike at Germany in
this vulnerable part, so near to her
principal naval bases. There seems
to be a general expectation that the
British navy will undertake some at
tempt to convoy and land troops on
the coast of Schleswig Holstein, 9TH
erwise the German authorities would
not divert such considerable numbers
of troops from the main areas of the
campaign for purposes of defense.
In Germany, says this Danish man
ufacturer, it IS pointed out that Cap
tain Trench and Lieutenant Brandon,
the two British naval officers who
were convicted of espionage in 1910,
were caught while gathering details
of possible landing places for British
troops on this part of the German
coast.
The Danish observer was deeply
impressed by the persistent fear
which he found among many Ger
mans that a British attack on Schles-
wig -Holstein might meet with some
degree of success.

Rural Educators Make
Ready for the November
Meeting Here
WILL ASK GOVERNOR
TO BE SPEAKER

Announcement was made today that
the New Castle County Teachers In
stitute will be held in the rose room
of the Hotel DUPONT in November.
County Superintendent r. L. Cross to-
day notified r. S. Taite, manager Of
the hotel, that the terms for the rose
room and parlor A during the Insti-
tute were so reasonable that the in
stitute will be held in the hotel.
There are about 100 teachers in
the county, and Wilmington, in the
opinion of DR.. Cross, is the most con-
venient place for them to hold their
institute. Last fall the institute was
held in Dover in connection with Kent
and Sussex counties Institutes, but
complaints were heard regarding
train fare, etc, and that the law re-
quires that New Castle institute be
held in this county. For some time
DR.. Cross has been considering the
places where the teachers could most
conveniently meet and finally decided
to hold the institute in this city. The
rose room of the hotel is delightfully."-
situated and the teachers no doubt
will be pleased to know they are to
meet there.
This is the first time that the teach
ers will be able to meet in a place
where all arrangements will be per-
feet Parlor A will be used for COM
mittee meetings.
Mayor James F. Price will be in
vited to deliver the address Of well
come TO the teachers. and there is
a probability that the Chamber of
Commerce will entertain the teach
ers at luncheon on the opening day of
the institute.
Dr. Cross said today that he ex-
poets to invite the school commits
sioners of New Castle county to at
tend the second days session of the
institute in order that heart to heart
talk can take place between the COM
missioners and the county superin-
tendent. AS Governor Miller has shown
such interest in State educational
affairs, Or. Cross will invite him 20
attend the institute.
