precisely similar to that which preceded
Turkeys entrance into the war on the
side Of our enemies. II will be remem-
bered that German officers forced Turkey
20 make an entirely unprovol1ed attack

bound to support the States threatened
by such proceedngs, the news from Bull
Earfa is regarded very gravely."

created a sensation here. Everywhere It
was taken as an indication that Bulgaria
has finally cast her lot with the Austro-
Germans and Is about to enter the war.
