The next important case of similar

The state department is now con-
sidering whether to ask for HIS recall.
The administration Is entirely satisfied
with the action taken by Austria in the
Dumba case, as 1t brings to close an
incident which might have been devel.

MYSTERY Wells SITUATION

a Mystery-BuIsars Claim They
VIII Enforce Armed Neutrality

London.-Mystery still wells the Bal
kan situation and the intentions Of Bul.
garia.
Bulgaria, which had been definitely
placed on the side OF the central pow
ers, has now. as the result Of recent
news from Sofa, informed the entente
powers that her mobilization was or
dered in the national interests and that
It had not the slightest aggressive char
acter.
The text OF the note il virtually the
same as the wording Of the semi-offl-
cial statement issued at Sofia on Sept.
Is, which said the placing Of Bulgaria
into a state Of armed neutrality is ex-
planned by changes which recently oc-
Cured In the political situation" and
that Bulgaria has not the slightest
aggressive intention, but is firmly re-
solved to be fully armed to defend her
rights and independence"
The official note to the powers also
was ulspatched from soma on Sept. 70,
so that 1t was framed before Greek mo-
bilization had been decided upon.
II has been charged that Bulgaria In
tends to attack servia in an effort to
regain Macedonia. Such an attack, 1t
is pointed out, would bring Greece to
the side Of her ally, and, as in the last
Balkan war, Greece, Servia and posi-
bly, Roumania would be found opposed
to Bulgaria.
Roumania has modified and Greece
is taking similar action. The conclu.
sion, therefore. has been drawn here
that they, at least, fear Bulgaria has az.
gressive designs, II not against Greece,
then against Servia.
