. WASHINGTON. oct. i.-Russian and
Rumanian diplomats here today fore
saw the complete collapse OF Germany's
policy IN the Balkans and in the east
The signing OF the armistice by Bull
garia on the terms laid down by the
Allies was interpreted by officials at
the Russian embassy as the resumption
Of power in Bulgaria by the Russophile
group OF Bulgarian statesmen repre-
sented by Premier Malinoff. This, u
was declared. would prove in the near
future a most powerful stimulant to
the efforts OF the revolutionary democ-
racy Of Russia to restore Russia's unity
and independence.
The stimulant. Russian officials
pointed out would be both military
and political. The virtual exit Of Bull
garia from the war opens the road for
the entrance Of Allied troops into Ru-
mania and thence to southern Russia
and the Ukraine where the population
IS fighting the German invaders. eager
ly awaiting outside help for a con-
certed assault on the enemy. For one
thing It was declared the collapse Of
Bulgaria has already ignited an open
anti-German revolt in Rumania. The
Austro-GerInan troops in Rumania,
South Russia and the Ukraine in gem
eral are now between two fires, the
victorious armies Of the Entente and
the revolving population Of the occupied
territories. The exit Of Bulgaria from
the war on the terms laid down by the
Entente also opens the way for a direct
advance on ConstantinOple. Both Rus
sian and Rumanian officials. however.
indicated that such an advance may not'I
prove necessary as Bulgaria's collapse
Is bound 30 force Turkey TO similar
action. This, it was pointed out at the
Russian embassy, would at once re-
lease the stranglehold Turkey and
Germany have obtained upon the
Caucasus and may open the way for a
British entrance into the Caucasus and
thence into Russia from Mesop0tamia /
and Persia. The collapse OF Bulgaria, |
therefore followed by the certain col |
lapse Of Turkey. Il was asserted, means |
the salvation OF Serbia, Rumanis, the
Caucasus and the Ukraine.
The Russian embassy received a /
cable confirming the report that Prince |
George Lvoff is on his way TO America |

the American government Of the latest |
events in Siberia and Russia. Prince !
Lvoff is coming as the representative OF
the Omsk Siberian government, but will
actually voice policies Of the new all
Russian government recently formed |
at Ufra.
Another cable received by the embas-
sy indicated that General Hvorth, who |
some time ago attempted a coup d'etat |
which was frustrated will agree to |
submit to the authority OF the Siberian |
government and accept a purely admin |
istrative post probably as director Of
Siberian railways. The Siberian gov
ernment had followed the lead OF the |
