The alarm brought forth the instant
demand that something be done"
A dispatch to "The Daily Mail" from
The Hague says the demand is for
somebody possessing the confidence of
tie Germans and their Allies to re-
place the present military oligarchy,
but opinions clas regarding who this
vague personality might be.
Factions Are Separating
All reports indicate a decided cleav-
age between the Junker and Conserya-
tive classes and the class represented
by the Socialist and radicals, who on
this occasion have the support of some
Centrists and even National Liberals.
Emperor Williams belated anxiety
for the people to cooperate in the gov
ernment evidently will be distasteful
to the Junkers, one of-whose foremost
papers, the "Kreuz Zcitung," declares
that dictatorship is the only posi-
Bile alternative. On the other hand,
the demand of The popular parties is
for a popularity elective cabinet.
The effect Of the designations of
Chancellors Won Hertling and Foreign

Press Comment Solid in Declaring Turkey Will Be Next to
Sue for Peace-keystonc of German Alliance
Tottering Is General View

The Allies have cut the Achilles tendon
of the outstretched German foot"
"The Daily News" which sees the
whole German position in France
startlingly near the point of dissolu-
tion as n result of recent military sue
cesses by tho Allies there says:
"This drama in the meantime is ever
shadowed by the still moro impressive
fact that the Central Powers are in
disruption and the mittaleuropa sys
tenn is in RUM
The paper sees Significance in the
fact that tho kings Of Saxony and Ba-
varia recently visited Sofia, and that
King Ferdinand, according to its in
formation, is now in Vienna.
Austria Knew Of Plans
"These circumstances" it adds, "sug
gest that a phase of the war is immi-
rent that may leave the Hchenzollern
dynasty isolated, with the lesser king
who have been it's feudatories com
bined agains it. to save themselves"
The paper further thinks that it can
hardly be doubted that Austria was
trivy to the Bulgarian surrender.
"The Daily Mail" says that Austria
is placed in q terrible position, while
if Turkey does not make peace imme-
diately nothing can prevent her de-
struction and dismemberment. The
collapse of German influence in the
Ugraine and the Caucasus, it adds, will
quickly follow.
The hope of rehabilitating Rumnnia
is confidently expressed by several
writer's. "Rumania may now says
"The Post" shake off the chains of
servitude and emerge free nation"
Warnings are uttered to avoid the
error of regarding Germany as beaten.
"She will fight to the death, says
"The Times" "and she and Austria
may yet offer prolonged and obstinate
resistance. Unrelaxed efforts by the
Allies, therefore, are still necessary. y
New-York tribune., 1918-10-02

with the result that a formal demand
was made on Berlin and Vicnna for
immediate assistance. Despite tho
urgent tone of the demand Germany
and Austria responded with evasive
promises for the future
That settled the determination of
King Ferdinand to forsakc the powers
which had brought only desolation to
Bulgaria and intrust her destines to
the Entente.
But what impolled the King most, the
consul generals account indicates, was
the fear of revolution. Anarchy was
making serious prog fess in Sofia.
Workmen and soldiers mad hold meet
ngs and passed laws. Bolshevism in
its most excessive form became the
regular order and manifestations were
held before the royal palace.
King Ferdinand. it is added. haunted
BY recollections of the execution of
former Emperor Nicholas, w&s unable
to sleep. He considered it essential
Tor his country and for his own safety
that strong foreign military force
should intervene, and thus. it is added,
as Germany could not give him that
force, he turned to the Entente.
New-York tribune., 1918-10-02

LONDON, Oct. 1.-The loss of the
Bulgarians to the Central Alliance is
regarded by the London morning papers
as foreshadowing the end of the great
four years tragedy. The editorial writ
ers for the most part arc unable to see
how Turkey can avoid following the
Bulgarian lead, while some believe that
Austria Hungary must do the same.
For Germany. it is held that the sur

Middle East and hcr aspirations OF
