The crisis in the Balkans has been reached. Russia's ultimatum to Bulgaria has gone forth. King Ferdinan's govern ment, it says, must break off relations with the central powers and dismiss the German and Austrian officers hear with its army or the Russian minister will be withdrawn from Bulgaria.
 Russia sets forth that the presence of German and Austrian officers in Bull garia, the concentration of troops on the Servian border and the acceptance of fi- rancial support by Bulgaria from the Teutonlc allies leave no doubt as to the object of Bulgaria military prepara- tions.
 While the Bulgarian premier is re- ported as saying that Bulgaria is not threatening any of her neighbors and still hopes for pacific settlement which will take her interests into account an Ath- ems dispatch reports that the quadruple entente powers have withdrawn their preferred concessions of Macedonian ter ritory to Bulgaria and that an Anglo French expedition Is about to be landed at Saloniki, with the approval of Greece.
 It is reported from Italy that the chief of the Italian general staff has conferred with the Italian cabinet ministers with reference to a possible Italian expedition to the Balkans.

times 1t is necessary to bind a nation before there is parliamentary sanction for such action Thomas Jefferson did it when he agreed to pay Napoleon $15.- 000,0o0 for the Louisiana territory. He admitted that his action was ultra-consti- tutional Congress, however. ratified 1t. Lord Beaconsiield bought the stock held by the Khedive of Egypt in the Suez canal agreeing in the name of England to pay $20.0O0.000 for it. He had not the slightest authority to make that bar gain, yet he was persuaded that Parlia- ment would ratify it ,as it did. There fore, it is presumed that the commis- sioners from England and France who have informally committed their gov ernments to a debt to the United States of 50o,000.O00 are confident that their &C., tion will be ratified by the parliaments of their countries. When this ratification is completed there will remain only the formal and binding execution of the con- tract.
