Germans Cannot Force Bulgarians.

Whether the Bulgarian people will
allow the Germans to do that and
force them TO continue the war when
the entente promises them an honor
able peace is most doubtful. The
Frankfurter ZeitunG believes that 1t
will all be of no avail, for even If
the BulgarianS are again forced into
line, what can be expected from such
troops" Meanwhile the censorship
does not permit the German papers
TO print the details of Bulgaria's sur

be drawn back to her German alliance
! temporarily, but German influence will
not again be the same in Sofia, and it
| must similarly wane at Constanti-

The Bulgarian military defeat thus
carries the doom of Mitteleuropa and
! the destruction of Mitteleuropa is the
nrst necessity in victory in this war.

j unable to save a necessary ally from
disaster. With the western pressure
i growing the Germans have now to
| find troops to meet the situation
created by the Bulgar disaster.
Saloniki has become part of the

advance toward the Danube is as

Mitteleuropa Must Go.
We. the allies. have no desire to de-

defeat and retreat in France is not at

properly German, which are at stake

Bernhard was always talking about
world power" and it was German
| world power that received a terrible
and perhaps fatal blow when the
Serbs won their victory between the
Cerna and the Vardar. One hopes
that this ultimate service of Serbia
will never be forgotten by the more

probable than that Turkey will fol-

AMSTERDAM. Holland, October g.
The last few days have been among
the darkest in Germany's war history.
The empire has been badly beaten at
every turn on the western front and
Bulgaria. In the face of these stern
facts it seemed like a sinister joke
on the emperor when the Berlin
papers published one of his kilograms
to some patriotic organization. an
nouncing his intention to fight the
war to victorious end.
From information which reaches
me, it is easy to realize the feeling
of despair existing in Germany. In
all circles in Berlin the possibility
of capitulation at an early date is
openly discussed and the widest
rumors are circulated regardless Of
the threat of punishment by the au-
thorities. The Cologne Gazette says
semi-officially that Berlin is losing
its head. but fortunately Berlin is
not Germany"
However, the feeling regarding the
Bulgaria situation is bad from
koenigsberg to Metz. The govern
ment on resigning announced that
important military measures had been
taken to save the Balkans from
falling entirely into the hands of the
entente. Probably all available troops
will be rushed to the east. and Field
Marshal Won Mackensen will be given
full power to cope with the impoS-
sible situation. The hostilities by the
BulgarianS against the allies ceased
even before the German troops could
he started. The only thing Mackensen
can do. therefore, is to send his
forces to Sofia in an effort to set
up dictatorship in Bulgaria, upset
ting the Malinoff cabinet and possibly
King Ferdinand. if it appears that
he supported Malinoff's action.
