WAR DEVELOPMENT.

NEW phase Of the war situation was added yester.
AS6day, when 1t was given out through the press
channels that the Balkan States were on the verge
on entering into the great conflict across the water.
Bulgaria, It Is said, has about decided TO cast her lot
with the sTeuton forces. Official reports say that the
Allies have about given up hope OF getting the Bulgars
in on their side.
This means that Germany is to get some much needed
help in the near future. Practically every nation that
has entered the war since Its start has entered on the
side OF, the foes Of Germany: but it now seems that the
worm Is about to turn and that at least one power will
take up arms in behalf OF the cause OF the German ma.
ton.
The new turn Of affairs in the war zone may have u
great bearing on the final outcome. With Bulgaria In
line, Germany will be materially strengthened while the
Allies will be put to a correspondingly disadvantage.
1t will be interesting to watch the dctelopement in the
Balkan territory within the next two weeks.
Aside from the reports from the Balkans there is
nothing much new of vital interest in the general war
situation. The Russians are still executing a skillfuI
retreat, with the Germans endeavoring TO cut them OIL,
but with little success. 1t is. not likely that the German
forces will be able to a%ccompls much in the line of a
drive 70 Petrograd, their ultimate goal. until after the
winter season. A drive on the great Russian city during
the severe winter weather would be foolhardy, and the
Kaiser can not hope to reach that city before cold
weather:
