Bulgaria has not definitely agreed to
side with the central powers" says the
Giornale DItalia, ut undoubtedly aug
mented the tension with the quadruple
entente. If Bulgarian mobilization does
not mean an immediate invasion of
Macedonia, or an attack on Serbia from
the rear In the case Of an Austro-Ger-
man rush thru the Balkans. the most

attempt to blackmail the allies to press
Serbia to make further territorial con-
cessions, a. the Bulgarian ideal is to
obtain Macedonia and Thrace without
going to war.
Greek mobilization probably will be
followed by similar steps in Roumania.
These may be only precautionary meas
ures, especially as Greece is not inclined
that even an attack on Serbia will be

ing that the Greco-Serbian agreement
ceased to exist when Serbia made ter
ritorial concession to Bulgaria, as the
alliance was to avoid any alteration Of
the boundaries established by the
