wished to strengthen German friend

"As recently as the past week end the
Duke Of Mecklenburg, the German En-
peror's envoy In the Balkans. had an

confirmed message of German origin
from Copenhagen and Paris, the duke,
on his way back TO Vienna, also had
long interview with the King or
Rumania aboard the royal yacht, at
Braila, on the Danube.
The reason for Germany's assiduous
cultivation OF Bulgaria's friendship is
sufficiently explained in an article by
Theodore Wolff, in the Berlin Tage-
blat." last month. Bulgaria is the
road to the near east. and the only
way by which opposition from ku-
