BERLfN. via London. Oct 1.-The en-.
tire derman press il devotins much
space to the Balkan situation, the lead
Ing papers urging Bulgaria to hesitate
no longer and advising Greece to throw
In her lot with Bulgaria against Serbia
ard Italy.
The semi i-ofiiclal papers do not hesi-
tate to recognise the great danger en-
tailed In Greek support Of the Entente
Powers and that Governments consent
to the violation Of Its neutrality. The
papers warn Greece Of the tragic fate
in store for her II the German appeals
are not needed. Altogether the situa-
ton 10 causing more comment and at
tracing greater attention than the Of
fersive In the west.
All the papers reach the conclusion
that by the action Of the Allies at
Salonica Germany Is justified In having
occupied Belgium
The TogebIait says:
The Entente Powers protested against
the invasion Of Belgium. England took
part In the war only because Belsium's
neutrality was infrineed. But on the
first occasion when II suits the interests
OF these Powers who say they protect
little nations they show an utter dis
regard for the rights and neutrality Of
little states"
The FrankJurter Zouung says:
1T is easily seen. ~ course. that the
attempts of the Allies to frighten Greece
by the reported landing OF troops at
Saionica cannot be taken seriously, for
IL IL impossible to see where the Quad
ruple Entente can got 100000 men TO
| s,. apart for that purpose.
Greece has "A very urgent interest
in preventing the landing Of troops. for
| history teaches that whore England
plants her foot she generally stays. The
Italians would take AvlonA. the Rus
sans Constantinople and the English
anc French Salonica.
THE sole attitude for Greece is neu-
! trality. Only the Quadruple Entente
has an interest In dragging Greece into
the war. II Bulgaria enters the con-
flic. all the more would neutrality
| strengthen Greece. for she would then
| be neighbor to states all more or less
| exl austed by war. Moreover. the profits
OF Greek neutrality would he the acquisi-
tion OF southern Albania and Avlona."
The kreuseeituna. in spite OF the re-
ported presence OF Entente troops at Sa-
! lrica. does not take the developments
seriously. "The report that the Quad
ruple Entente has sent 100000 men to
support Serbia is without real founda-
! tion.' said this paper We stll con-
! slider IL questionable whether the En-
tente Powers would really attempt to
hasten via Salonica to help the Serbian
/ army"
"October will he the deciding month OF
the war" said the Bulgarian Minister
at Berlin. VI. Ritsov. In an interview
} published in a Leips!c paper and repub-
T llshed by the BerHner ZeifunO an Mt
/ tag to-day. The Overseas News Agency
summarizes the diplomats statement as
| follows
The Entente Powers viii, try 10 force
! Bulgaria to demobkze and threaten the
landing of troops at Salonca. the latter
action being possible since the Entente
! as every one knows. does not respect the
, rights OF other nations.
For Bulgaria there are only two pos
sibilities. either to demobii,e or 10 take
action. The decision cannot be long de-
layed.'
II. Ritsov declared that King Constan-
tine OF Greece knows his own mind well
and that the Greek General stan is
firmly convinced that the Central Powers
will be the vIctors: likewise that King
Ferdinand Of Rumania counterbalance'i
the influences Of the Entente in his
Kingdom.
! The official NOrddeHtSche AHgsmcine
| Zeittug denies tho statement made by
Signor Barzilal, civil governor OF the
Austrian territory occupied by Italy,
that Baron vnn Wangenheim. GERMAN
Ambassador TO Turkey, told Marquis
Garroni forncr Italian Ambassador NJ
ConstantinVple. on July ~, 1914 that
the Austrian note to Serbia WAS bound
I to result In war
The Overseas News Agency. sum
marrying the denial. says neither Haron
Won Wangenheim nor the German Gov
ernnent knew IN advance the text OF
Austria's ultimatuin to Serbia.
The Government organ further asserts
that Italy was bound to q policy OF
friendly neutality because OF stipula-
tion in the Triple Alliance treaty.
The Amsterdam papers are convinced
that the Entente Powers would not
have landed troops AT Salonica without
the connivance of Greece. The ques-
tion of n breach OF neutrality. these
papers say. does not exist.
The T'ic9rdnf the most infuentia
Amsterdam paper. points out that tn.
neutrality Of Greece was never guar
anteed by any of the Entente nat ions
as that Of Belgium had been by Ger
. many.
