Bulgaria to Split Too


 Whether Bulgaria and Turkey are preparing. to follow suit still is un- | known, but officials generally believe that sooner or later they will do so. BulgariaG Minister Panaretoff called on Secretary Lansing late today to ask if this government had any infor- nation from Sofia, but was told none had been received. Both Bulgaria and Turkey are believed here 10 be weary of the war; but German domination Of the central European alliance is eX- pected to drive them, as 1t drove Aus tria. to break with Germany's new enemy.
 Expected For Week
 Telegrams prepared a week ago in anticipation of today's development have been sent to American diplomatic and consular officials abroad instruct ing them to wind up their conduct of entente interests in Austria'and of Austrian interests in entente coun- tries. Switzerland will take over Am erican interests in Austria and Swe- den will assume Austrian interests here.
 Safe conducts for the former Aus trian officials on their trip home will be sought at once from the British and French governments. With them will go Count Tarnowski, the newly appointed Austrian ambassador who arrived in New York on the day Ger many announced her campaign of ruth lessness.
 Follows German Break
 In a statement tonight reviewing these negotiations the state depart ment revealed that Oil April l before President Wilson went before con- gross to ask for declaration of state of war with Germany, Austria served notice that such a declaration would mean a break between the Washing ton and Vienna governments.

 . Dent Seeks Comproimse.
 A compromise plan may be offered by the opponents of compulsory ser vice. A sentiment for such a move was evident in Mir. Dents committees before which Secretary Baker and the military chiefs of the war depart- ment assembled in full strength dur ing the day to support the administra- tion's policy. There was no indica- tion. however. that compromise would be accepted by the President
 Senate Divided Too.
 In the senate, debate on conscrip- tion occupied much time during dis cussion of the regular army appro- priation bill left over from last ses- sion. It is not dealt with in the bill. but during the debate. Senator Kirby offered an amendment authorizing the President to call volunteers in lots of half million each.
 Kahn May Present Bill.
 As result of Chairman Dents atti- tude it is possible that some other member of the house committee will present the administration bill if it is reported. as officials sope it will he. substantially in the form in which 1t was drawn. The chairman agreed to introduce it ''by reuest" which means that he would take no responsibility for it. With no active and sympa- thetic leadership on the floor of the house from the chairman. the task may go to som other committeeman. Representative Kahn, ranking Repub- lican member, has been a consistent advocate of universal military train ing and service for years. He went to the extent during the framing of the national defense act of sending to England for recruiting posters and lit erature. and used them to illustrate 10 the house the unreliable and insufli- cient operation of that system. While refusing to discuss his conference with the President. Mir. Dent admitted that no conclusion was reached.
 When l received the bill" he eX- plained, "I agreed with the secretary of war that l would introduce il "by reuest" if he wanted to do so. He then asked me to hold it up until after the declaration Of existence of a state of war was made by congress. After that the committee agreed that the bill should not be introduced until there had been thorough bearings on the subject.
 Army Delayed Week.
 There is no chance on earth of t.e bill coming out of the committee in any form within a week at least The main controversy is over the ques- tion of conscription. There is no ues- tion. however. on the part of any one as to giving the President all the men and money needed to carry on the war. The only controversy is as Co the means of doing so."
 NIT. Dent indiated that he was an Xxious to maintain harmony within the committee. He was not ready today to talk about the nature of the of which he is thinking.
 Discussion of the regular army ap- bill has been perfunctory

collier Jupiter has arrived i'll France.
Secretary Daniels announced, laden
with 10000 tons of wheat an
supplies.
The ship sailed without any
lion of its voyage having been 81
out in advance and is now at anchor
in a French port.
The Jupiter is one Of the nayy's
largest Golfers. 1t was the first elee-
trically propelled steamer ever built
and its performance was so good that
ii led to the adoption OF electric drive
for all new battleships and battle
cruisers. the American navy being
the only one in the world to adopt this
type of propulsion. The Jupiter has
high speed for an auxiliary naval yes
sci which would enable ii TO escape
submarine attacks under any but un
usual circumstances.
