With Russia in the grip Of inter
necine strife and her battle line
denudcd Of men as result of the
peace declaration Of the Bolshe-
wiki, Germany has already begun
the carrying out of her threat of
an invasion because Of the failure
Of the Bolsheviki to sign a peace
compact with the central powers.
A dispatch from Berlin an
nolnces that German troops have
crossed the Dvina river.
Reports emanating from Swe-
den say the Germans have begun
pushing forward their troops into
Rnssia's two remaining Baltic
provinces Esthonia and Livonia
the taking Of which completely
isolated Russia from the shores of
the Baltic and give the enemy, in
addition to the port of Riga, the
city Of Reval, situated on the Gulf
Of. Finland opposite Helsingfors,
whence they easily might operate
against Petrograd by sea.
AlthO Austria Hungary had shown
dissatisfaction over the stand that
Germany has taken toward Russia,
the dual monarchy evidently has been
placated by a promise of Germany
that any German military activity will
be confined to northern Russia and
AQstria-Hungary left to deal with
whatever other. problems may arise in
the territory adjacent to her borders.

RULER LEAVES SOFIA
King Ferdinand of Bulgaria May
Have Quit Throne.
Monarch Is Reported to Have Gone
On An "Extended Trip"
to Foreign Lands.

Washington, July 30.-According to
French dispatches, quoting reports
from Basic, King Ferdinand has left
Bulgaria for an extended trip" to
foreign lands, presumably on account
of his health.
Premier Malinof, who reorganized
the ministry after the fall Of Premier
Radaslovoff, will replace the king dur
ing his absence, the cables added.
Ferdinand's sudden departure from
Sofia, while the Turko-Bulgar dispute
is critical, is regarded as significant
in diplomatic circles here. While
nothing has been said, 1t has been
generally known that the Bulgarian
throne is on an unstable foundation.
Bulgaria is tired of the war. Four
years of fighting preceded by the two
Balkan wars, in which she lost heav-
lily, have drained her man power. In
addition to this the prospect Of a
poor harvest is having a distressing
effect on the Bulgarian mind.
