 "An Macedonia" Bulgar Slogan. | Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept. 4.-Despite 1 the fact that a decision of the Bull | garian government regarding the 1 Macedonian question is generally con-
 sidered imminent as it is realized on
 all sides that the time Is not far | distant when this issue must cul- minate in more than diplomatic con- | Versations there are no signs of ex- 1 citement here, the capital remaining | In it's usual quiet state.
 At the foreign office this afternoon l the following statement was made to the Associated Press correspondent: "The Bulgarian government is en- | gagged in formulating it's reply to the l Serbian government, although Ser | bias statement has not yet been re- | ceived, being guided in this by an l intimation recently given by the Quadruple Institute. Meanwhile the Bulgarian government is continuing | its negotiations with the Turkish gov ernment concerning the cession of the Lpyimetz Adrianople Dedeaghatch railroad line and certain adjacent ter ritories of great strategic importance. The prospects of a quick and satis- factory settlement are good, al- though hitherto the Turkish govern
 ment has required much time in
 reaching decisions on matters contri-
 butory to the main issue.
 t"The Bulgarian government is not
  | ous career. Statements to the con- trary purporting to come from Bull garian sources are made by political opponents of the government who are l using them among the people for tn l ternational political purposes. Now l as heretofore the Bulgarian govern l ment is guided by three factors: First, | non acceptance of the Treaty of
 Bucharest, which was not ratified by the national assembly and which is
 not acceptable to Bulgaria so long as | it remains unrevised. Secondly, the ] unwillingness of the Bulgarian peo- 1 pie to engage in a war, the outcome | of which Is at all doubtful. Third, the absolute necessity of 1 convincing the Bulgarian people that
 whatever action is undertaken for a result to be achieved will be such that no betrayal afterwards will be poS- sible
 Policy Not Modified.
 From other governmental sources it was learned that the Bulgarian gov ernment and it is declared, the Bull garlan people, have in no wise modi fled the policy toward Macedonia outlined in a statement to the Asso- ciated Press by Premier Radoslavoff last February, when he declared that the domination of Macedonia by Ser bia and Greece had produced results in the diametrically opposite to the principles for which Bulgarians had stood for many centuries, and that Bulgaria could not afford to remain needless of the appeals of the Mace dcnians.
 Bulgaria, it is learned, wants all of Macedonia, and not only those parts made the subject of recent notes by the Quadruple Entente. Mean while the Entente Powers insist that Bulgaria earn these parts by making war upon Turkey, while the proposals of the central powers never went fur ther than to assure the free passage through Bulgaria of materials needed by Turkey. It is argued here that while the proposals of the entente would, if accepted involve the she'd ding of Bulgarian blood against Fur key, those coming from the other side do not necessarily demand this from a nation still keenly mindful of it's losses in the recent Balkan war.
 "All Macedonia" Slogan.
 "A1l Macedonia is the slogan now of all circles in Bulgaria, although the country Is still divided into two camps, as to best method by which the goal may be reached. The abiI- ity of the Turkish army in beating off attacks on the Gallipoli peninsula has meanwhile made a deep impress sion here. A high military officer for Instance, said today:
 Evidently the Turkish army of to- day is altogether unlike the army we fought two years ago."
