LONDON. Aug. 17.-Servia, for
whose protection Russia went 10 war
with Germany. is baking the efforts
of the entente powers TO gain the sup
port of the united Balkan nations. At
the criti al hour in the negotiations
that country is withholding its consent
TO the acquisition Of Macedonian ter

England is bringing the utmost

today authorized an official denial of

The most significant development of
the day was the statement here of the
Bulgarian minister. StanciOff, that
Bulgaria's decision would not long be
delayed and possibly had already been
taken.
1t was intimated that arrangements
with Turkey had been definitely
abandoned and that Turkey was
awaiting Bulgara's intervention in the
war as an opportunity TO sue for
peace.
Turkey Held Helpless.
Turkey. it is said, was helpless in
defense against Bulgaria for lack of
munitions.
From Rome it was reported that
the Turkish ambassador no longer
showed his former confidence and
apparently viewed with grave anx-
iety the news from Sofia. He declared
Turkey was still unconvinced that
Bulgaria would join the quadruple
