BULGARIA DENIES
MOBILIZATION
MEANS ATTACK
London Feels, However,
That She Has Aggressive
Designs on Serbia.
GREECE TO STAND
WITH HER ALLY
Joint Military Action with En-
tente Powers win Follow Bull
gar Attack on Serbia.

London. Sept. 26. The situation in
the Balkans and the intentions OF Bull
garia are still surrounded with con
siderable mystery. Bulgaria, which had
been definitely placed on the side OF
the central powers as the result Of re-
cent news from Sofia. officially informed
the Entente powers to-day that her
mobilization had been ordered in the
national interests and that it had not
the slightest aggressive character.
The Bulgarian Premier, W. Radoslav-
off. in an interview with the Sofia cor
respondent Of the Berlin "Tageblatt.'
reiterated this statement. but it is note
worthy that while he said the measure
was not directed against Greece or Ru-
mania he omitted Serbia. attacks upon
which state have been considered to be
the intention of the Bulgarian govern
ment in their effort to regain Mace
donia.
Such an attack, il is pointed out
would bring Greece 70 the side Of her
allv. and, as in the last Balkan war
Greece. Serbia and possibly Rumanla
would be found opposed to Bulgaria
Rumania has alread, modified, and
Greece is taking similar action. Tn
conclusion, therefore, has been drawn
here that they. at least, fear that Bul
garia has aggressive designs, if not
against Greece, against Serbia.
Bulgarians MObilizing Slowly.
Mobilization Of the Bulgarian army
is reported to be proceeding in an ad-
mirable manner. The railway author
tiles have even been able to furnish
some cars for the transport OF sugar
beets and coal
The modified troops are we'll clothed
with warm uniforms and wear excellent
shoes. II is expected the army Will be
ready TO take the field in very fe"
days. but Il is evident that mobilization
is being carried out in no great riy
NJ Vesnitch, the Serbian Minister TO
France. in an interview printed IN the
"Temps" and made public here to-day
saws the Bulgarian mobilization was no
surprise to him, as it was well known
by those acquainted with Balkan af-
fairs that Bulgaria had been tied up
with Turkey and the Central Empires,
since 1913.
Asked whether Serbia was JUSTIFIED
in her expectation Of the cooperation
Of Greece under the Serbo-Greek treaty
of alliance, NJ. Vesnitch is quoted as
having said:
Greece is certainly not disposed TO
adopt the scrap Of paper theory OF
the German Imperial Chancellor, Dr.
Won Bethmann-H -Hollweg.
"How could any one" the Minister
asked. seriously suggest to the Ggeeks
that they are released from their en-
gagements with uI simply because the
Buigarians, in their aggression, are
supported by the Germans. The Greeks
are not unaware that the Germans
promised Bulgaria, not only Macedonia,
including Kayala and Salonlka, but
greater part Of Albania

Victory for yenizelos.

A dispatch from Athens to-day says
that the result Of the kaleidoscope po-
litical changes OF the last few days In
Greece Is considered here 10 be de-
cided victory for Premier Nenlzelos.
The most scrupulous observance Of the
treaty Of alliance between Greece and
serbia j. believed TO be assured, as
also is the active cooperation OF
Greece with the Entente powers IN the
event Of a Bulgarian attack on serbia.
Tomorrow II will be announced, the
dispatch adds. that the British and
French governments have offered, it
necessary. TO take joint military action
with Greece. IL IS admitted ~ dlplo-
matic circles that the base Tor such
operations, if undertaken, Will be Sa-
lonika.
The cheering Of the Greek populsce
gathered in front Of the office Of the
British Minister. Sir Francis Z. II. El-
lot. was d significant incident IN Sat
urday's crisis, says Reuters CORE
spondent at Athens.
Although Greece still feels the ef-
fects Of the late Balkan war, the cor
RESPONDENT adds, all shades Of opinion
support the mobilization Of the Greek
army as the only possible course which
the Hellenic government could take.

precedentcd figures In the immediate
future.
On January !, for example, the numbe !
OF beef cattle showed an increase G
"a per cent, over the number of a yea
ago, and an actual increase Of 1,g2uy
head. Hitherto the number of beef ca Il
tie In the United States has declined
steadily since 1910. There are also morl

the increase being 25 per cent, or ir

the greatest increase of all classes
per cent. On January l. 1914, there werd
only 5S,9@},r0 swine in the country, on

counted for by the fact that the prod
duction of swine can be increased morsI
rapidly than that Of other classes 81
livestock and consequently an enlarged
demand can be met more readily.
The prediction of 5O-cent meat and sd
shoes was accompanied by the decaraI
ton that France alone has taken FROM
America nearly 100000 horses within th1
last five months and that the othe
countries at war have drawn upon ouj
resources in the same proportion. Th(
facts are that more horses were on th(
farms of the United States on January Il

from France alone having taken 300 0C(
horses from us, the total exports sincd
the war began have certainly been much
less than 10000 and very likely not over
5000, Since there are approximately %, \
o00TO horses altogether in the United
States, the drain on account of the wal
is scarcely alarming. Market value ri
