SOME PRESS COMMENTS

What the New York papers
say of Bryan's attack on viii
son:
Evening World - "Bryan,
rolling up his eyes at 'mammon
worshippers' adds to the gay

utterance is the instructive eff
fort of a political malcontent to
seize upon an issue that will
spread dissension and split the
party if possible"
Press - "He will never be
able to block President Wilson's
preparedness plan"
Times-"Bryan will continue
to rage and imagine a vain
thing"
Tribune-"Bryan has done
only the expected" "

BERLIN, August %, by wire
less to Sayville, N. Y.-The Over
seas News Agency today gave out
the following:
Official reports from Sofia and
Constantinople state that Turkey
and Bulgaria have signed a new
treaty, Turkey granting Bulgaria
her desired direct railroad connec-
ton with the sea, and Bulgaria
agreeing to observe a benevolent
neutrality, if not more"
This demonstrates the definite
failure OF the efforts of the entente
powers to revive alliance of the
Balkan states and induce them to
join in the war against Turkey" "
Bulgaria Deemed Unpledged.
Unofficial reports late in July stated
that convention had been signed July
p by which Turkey ceded to Bulgaria
the Turkish portion of the Dedeag-
hatch railway. The reports stated that
the treaty left Bulgaria unpledged con-
cerning her attitude in the war
That Bulgaria had not been pledged
to any course regards the war has
been the assumption under which ne
gotlations have been conducted by the
entente allies looking to a satisfaction
of her reported demands for territorial
concessions from Serbia and Greece as
the price of her entry into the war on
the side of the allies. Several unofficial
reports concerning Bulgaria's diplo-
matte activities appeared to confirm
this view. 1t was reported, for instance,
in Sofia dispatches through London Au-
gust 16, that Bulgaria had recalled
from ConstantinopIe a delegate who
went there to negotiate with Turkey.
