London. Oct. 6.-Premier Ven1zelos
of Greece has resigned, according. to
a news agency dispatch received here,
King Constantine having informed
him that he was unable to- support the
policy of his ministry. Previously,
Venizelos had told the chamber or
the landing Of allies at Salon1klx ana
refuted. the arguments that the gov
eminent intended to lead the country
into war. A vote Of confidence IN the
ministry was then taken.
The vote of confidence In the ven1-
zelos cabinet, taken. In connection
with the premier's resignation, Is IN
terpreted as an open break between
the ministry and King Constantine.
Venizelos has. long been recognized
as q strong partisan Of the allies
Bulgaria to Fight.
Berlin, Oct. Gall doubt Of the in
tentions of, Bulgaria were set at rest
by an important statement made by
Premier Radoslavoff and published
in. the >Lokal Anzeiger. Bulgaria re-
jects any pretext that her mobiliza-
ton was made for the defense OF her
neutrality
Bulgaria will extend her frontiers
towards the northwest and the south,
the prime minister is quoted as say
ing. Later he added: "The situation
of the country and of the cabinet
makes search for pretexts ,:nneces-
sary.'
Furthermore, it is definitely stated
that Roumania has come to an agree
ment with the central powers and will
remain neutral. Even Greece, in the
opinion of the Bulgarian premier, will
not oppose the offensive Of the central
powers against Serbia.
The. official newspaper, Naradamy
Prava, commenting on this statement,
says:
Everybody can see that days OF
the most serious Importance are COM
ing. Everybody will be ready to sacri-
flee what is dearest to him. II every
body does his duty, Bulgaria will be
great and powerful"
Warlil<e Declaration.
Unofficial reports circulated here
are that Russia I'M pursuance Of the
wording of her ultimatum, has sew
cred relations with Bulgaria and with
drawn the entire STATS of her minis
try and consulates. A dispatch from
Sofia, quoting Premier Radoslavoff as
saying: 1--WE confront war and must
defend our national interests" gave
weight to the report that the long
expected break has actually come.
While Berlin dispatches indicate
that Bulgaria has definitely decided
to join the Teutonic s1lies against
Serbia, the Berlin declaration that
neither Roumania nor Greece will OPP
pose such action is/questioned here.
A dispatch from the Paris Matin de-
clares the Roumania government has
twice informed the Bulgarian govern
ment that mobilization in that country
is regarded as an unfriendly act. Rou-
MANIA it adds, is prepared for any
eventuality, with sufficient troops on
the border to repel any surprise at
tack.
Petrograd dispatches reveal the fact
that the Russian ultimatums to Bull
garia which was reported to have
been delivered Sunday, expiring Mon
day afternoon without an answer, in
reality was not presented until four
o'clock Monday afternoon and there
fore did not expire until four o'clock
Tuesday. There is no expectation
here, however, that Bulgaria will &C.
cede to the cars demands.
Telegraphing from Nish, Serbia, the
correspondent of the Havas News
agency says: THE quadruple entente
will send collective ultimatum to the
Bulgarian government.
