LOSS OF BULGARIA
 BEGINNING OF END
 OF GREAT TRAGEDY
Surrender Spells Ruin to Germany's Hopes for World Empire, Is View
 of Great Britain Press

London, October 1.-The loss of the Bulgarians to the central alliance is re- garded by the London morning papers as foreshadowing the end of the great four year$stragedy. The editrial writ CTS for the most part are unable to see how Turkey can avoid following the Bulgarian lead, while some believe that Austro- Hungary must do the same.
 For Germany it is held that the sur render spells ruin to her hopes in the middle east and her aspirations for world empire.
 We Ina ~ come to a solemn moment in this greatest of all wars and in the long process of civilization, says the Times. Tt is no time for eSultation. but We may recognize in this great event the first clear unmistakable pres age that the confederacy of our ene- mics is tottering to it's fall. The en- tire surprise which Bulgaria's desertion is to the peoples of the central powers cannot fail to enhance the moral con sequences of the shock"
 The Daily Telegraph says: "It must bring the German rulers face to face with the unpleasant fact that the key stone has fallen out of the arch of the pan-German designs and should Turkey follow in the steps of Bulgaria the whole pan-G German fabric falls to pieces like house of cards.
 HEAVIEST BLOW
 The Morning Post says: The Ger mans have had their heaviest blows in the near East since Frederick Bar barossa pershed in the first attempt to establish a Berlin Bagdad route. The allies have cut the Achielles tendon of the outstretched German foot
 The Daily News, which sees the whole German position in France startlingly near the point of dissolution as re- suit of recent military successes by the allies there, says:
 This drama in the meantime is over shadowed by the still more impressive fact that the central powers are in dis ruption and the Mittel-Europa system is in ruin"
 The paper sees significance in the fact that the Kings of SaXony and Ba- varia recently visited Sofia, and that King Ferdinand, according to it's in- formation, now is in Vienna.
 These circumstances it adds, "sug- gest that abphase of the war is immi- nent that may leave the Hohenzollern dynasty with the lesser Kings, who have been it's feudatories, combine ed against it to save themselves"
 The paper further thinks that it can hardly be doubted that Austria was privy to the Bulgarian surrender and cOncludeS
