BULGAR|A'S ENTRANCE CERTAIN
LONDON DIPLOMATS LOSE ALI,
HOPE OF KEEPING BALKANS
OUT OF WAR.
German Officers Reach Sofia to Take
Charge OF Bulgarian Armies in War
France and England Ready to Act
with Scrvia to Rcpcl Invasion.

London, Oct. 1.-The hope ex-
pressed yesterday that war in the Bal
kans might be averted virtually has
been abandoned, according to the be-
lief expressed in official quarters.
The statement by Sir Edward Grey.
the British foreign secretary, in the
house of commons today confirming
rumors that AustrO-German officers
had arrived in Bulgaria, just as they
did before Turkey joined the German
ic allies, is taken by officials to mean
that Bulgaria too has definitely de-
cided to join them. Such a move by
Bulgaria would result in the entente
allies being called on to keep their
promise to support with all the means
in their power those Balkan states
which remain friendly to them and
which are menaced by the threatened
Bulgarian aggression.
Athens never had much confidence
in Bulgarian assurances that Bull
garia's mobilization was innocent, it
was asserted here today. and the other
capitals have been forced to the same
conclusion.
There is nothing to indicate the at
titude Of ROumania but it always has
been taken for granted that her
friendship for Italy and France as
sured her continued support of the
cause Of the entente allies.
The question rises as to what as
sistance the entente allies could give
Greece and Servia. 1t is suggested
that an agreement be made with
Greece that for every soldier sent by
her to help Servia the allies would
land a soldier and equipment at
Saloniki, to protect Greek terri
tory to the South, and when the
time came to march against Bulgaria
1t is probable this wouldfbe only one
Of the steps taken against Bulgaria
should her attitude continue provoca-
tive which officials now consider it to
be, despite the fact that most Of the
people in that country are believed to
be still friendly to the entente allies
particularly Russia and England.
