DOUBT BULGARIAN
SUPPORT FOR HUNS
Observers Here Believe Ru-
mania and Ukraine May
Revolt Next.
DANUBE FRONT LIKELY

In quarters in this city competent
to form opinion upon authoritative
information the belief is expressed
that the Germans, reported to be
sending troops to Sofia to resist the
approach of the allies, will not be
able to count upon even the moral
support Of the elements of the demo-
bilized Bulgarian army. let alone its
nossible participation with arms. Nei-
ther does it appear, however, at this
time. with the meager details of the
armistice at hand, that the Bulga-
rians will be able to put an armed
force at the disposal Of the allies.
The best information obtainable in
Washington points to the complete
flropping out of Bulgaria as an actlVe
-participant in military operations.
Whatever moral support is rendered,
6f a tangible nature, will be thrown
to the side of the allies by the demo-
bilized troops, it is confidently pre-
dicted. This view is based upon the
fact that the demobiliZation OF the
Bulgarian army reflects the wishes OIL
the Bulgaian people.
Bulgar Army Represents People.
Moreover, in that country, it is ex-
nlained, the army represents the
neople. There is no junker class. no
military caste. In cafe in Sonia

mass. and the sentiment OF the coun =
try is for peace, peace to De oo-
tanned only by separation from the
central powers.
Indeed, the thought of the Bull
earians is believed to have gone 1ar-
ther than merely leaving the alliance
with Germany and Austria-Hungary
and trends to acquiescence in a vic
tory of the allies. since none know
better than the BulgarianS the bear
ing of the present movement upon
the great strategy of the war.
See Allied Front on Danube.
They know, it is said. that it is
but a question of time. and probably
a very short time. after their exit
from the scene of battle when Tur-
kew must follow suit and when AUS
ia-Hungary and Germany will be
confronted by an allied front on the
Danube. In neutral diplomatic CIR
cles in Washington, which are in close
touch with the situation in south
eastern Europe, news is momentaflly
expected of an appeal for peace by
Turkey.
1t is thought here that Field Marshal
won Mackensen, the German command
er. will find himself unable to reorgan-
ize the Bulgarians into cooperation
with the German reinforcements now
on the way to Sofia. On the contrary.
it is felt that he is more likely to hnd
obstacles meeting his every step, II
not open hostility.
Rumania and Ukraine May Revolt
He is likely also, it is intimated here,
soon to encounter an uprising in Ru-
mania in sympathy with the allies, and
possibly detection in the Ukraine look
ing also toward extending aid to the
allies. The outrage of the Brest-Litovsk
treaty. by which their liberties were
bartered away, is more painfully evi-
dent every day to the inhabitants OF the
Ukraine, it is declared, and once they
perceive possibility Of aid from the al
lies it is thought they will seize the
