BULGARIA. ON
VERGE OF WAR
With TURKEY
Possibility of Conflict Over
Division of War SpoiIs
Causes Serious Misgiv-
ingS at Berlin.

Washington, Sept. 10-Informa-
ton reached here today from a source
usually reliable that Turkey has sent
a large force to the border of Bull
garia where trouble is brewing over
division Of territorial spoils of war
between these two allies of Germany
and Austria-Hungary.
The possibility of conflict between
Turkey and Bulgaria is known to be
causing serious misgivings at Berlin.
The revolutionary spirit is rife in
the Bulgarian army and among the
civilian population, according. to re-
ports. The Bulgarians want more
territory and are said to be deter
mined to secure all Of Serbia and
even a portion of Austria.
They already have secured strip
off Northern Turkey, including one
halt of the city of Adrianople.
Another cause for dissension, is the
fact that when Bulgaria was awarded
the Dobrudja in the Roumanian peace
treaty dictated by Germany, Turkey
demanded the cession of that portion
of its northern territory that had pre-
viously been given Bulgaria as re-
ward for entering the war on the
side of the central powers.
The recent resignation of Premier
Radoslav of Bulgaria is said to have
been caused by his inability to secure
more territory and his unwillingness
to betray the central powers. The
new premier, Malinoff, is believed
here to be fgurehead who will ac-
cept the. dictation of Germany, but
the army and the populace are not
satisfied with the situation.
