London, Nov. pa new phase OF
the Balkan campaign is about To
open. 1t is foreshadowed in the visit
of Lord Kitchener to Paris, where he
will confer with the French Staff,
and In the visit Of Emperor William
to Vienna, where he has been in
conference with Emperor Francis
Joseph.
The Gar has promised that the
invasion of Bulgaria would begin
within a week. The Teutonic Allies
are making hasty preparations 70
meet such an attack. The Bulgarians
are withdrawing troops from the
Turkish frontier, and the German
forces, having completed, as Berlin
puts it, the campaign in Serbia, are
moving to the Rumanian border. The
evacuation of Bulgarian towns on
the Danube line has already been
ordered by the government as =
step toward preparation for defence
against the Cars forces.
Four divisions Of Turks from
Field Marshal Won der Goltz's army
have also been called TO meet the
threatened Russian invasion, accord
ing to a Bucharest dispatch to "The
: Times This report has also
reached Petrograd, which says that
both the Germans and the Turks
will send considerable forces TO the
Rumanian border TO guard against
an attack by the Cars army. either
through Rumanian territory or
from the Black Sea.
See Rumanian Aid.
Petrograd believes confidently that
Rumania will throw in her lot with
the Allies. For two weeks the Rus
sian people have been repeating
rumors of an agreement with
Bucharest. These reports have
gained strength through the refusal
of the Rumanian government to
allow German warships to go down
the Danube to menace the Russian
concentration.
The Russian Foreign Office OBJ
serves that the reported change Of
front by the Austro- Germans toward
the Allies at Strumnitza and toward
the Danube, leaving merely a screen
against the Serbians in Montenegro
and Albania, would indicate that the
Austrb-Germans and Bulgarians ex-
pect surprises from Russia, and per-
haps from Rumania, notwithstand-
ing "King Ferdinand's colorless
speech from the throne and Pre-.
mier Bratiano's cautious disposition
to speak against hasty conclusions"
Greece has made reply to the note
of the Entente Powers, outlining GER
tain measures Athens is asked to take'
in conformity with the preliminary
agreement. to allow facilities for the
nglo-French forces. As yet there are
M details of the answer to the note,
which was submitted in response TO the
Creek governments request for precise
Information as TO what was wanted.
Athens Will Give In.
A dispatch from Athens, however,
savs the reply is couched in friendly
terms and is regarded as paving the
vay for the desired settlement, which
would enable Greece TO maintain her
neutrality and not interfere with the
intentions Of the Allies. The tenor OF
official messages TO the Greek Legation
here corresponds with these reports OF
the satisfactory reply. The negstia-
tions are continuing.
The Bulgarians are moving forces
from the south in anticipation Of an
attack from the side Of Rumania or by
way of the Black Sea, says Reuter-
dispatch from Salonica. which adds:
THAT section of the Agrarians in
Bulgaria is still opposed to the war is
illustrated by the fact that squad Of
twenty-six belonging TO Philippopolis
regiment, composed largely Of Agra
rians, voluntarily surrendered on Sat
urday TO British outpost on the
Strumnitza front"
"The position Of Rumania is evl-
IDENTIFY becoming more definite" says
the 'Rech." OF Petrograd, in its weekly
summary Of the war situation. "The
press even alludes to an agreement
having been reached. italian news
papers add to this the information
that a movement of troops is under
way.
"The visit Of Emperor Nicholas TO
the frontier, during his inspection OF
the southwest front, also seems 70 M
