 shown leanings toward Germany and the "Cordan Sanitaire' or
 protective Gordon which France
 had thrown around Nazi Germany was threatened.
 Jugoslavia was on terms of near
 hatred with Italy and Barthou was going at the end of this month to
 Italy to see Premier Benito Musso- lini about an Itaiian-French alli- ance.
 Poland, long an ally of France, also was showing shifts toward Germany. There was recent report that Poland, Germany and Hungary planned to dismember Jugoslavia's ally Czechoslovakia.
 Turkey was anxious regarding a reported Jugoslavian Bulgarian military alliance, supposed to he directed against Turkey. Turkish Jugoslavian relations are bad. Hence a surprising feature of the European reaction to the as- sassinations was that dispatches showed troops to be moving toward frontiers only in small groups as
 protective units, and not in dixis-
 ions ready to pour over into the territory of a new enemy at the
 first flare up of national feelings
 The prospect seemed to be that a
 new series of alliances would be under way within a few weeks. It
 seemed also that they would be changed perhaps in favor of France, by the events of yesterday. Dispatches from Jugoslavia indi- cated, indirectly, that the country at least in its first diplomatic moves was going to stand by France and it was indicated that fast work by Premier Gaston Doumergue of France, who has taken over the foreign ministry in Barthou's place, might serve once again to ring Nazi Germany with potential enemies. Italy showed concern lest Bar thou's death retardy it's planned diplomatic agreement with France. He was regarded at Rome as in
 great measure personally respon- sible for the prospective accord,
 and it was feared his death would
 make Italy's diplomatic situation an anxious one.
 Situation In Italy Vienna, October 10 - (UP) = Troops were alert in Central and Southern Europe today as govern ments awaited repercussions from the assassination at Marseilles. So serious was the situation re- garded in this nerve center of European intrigue that many be-.
 lieyed the peace of Europe might depend in great measure on whether foreign countries encour- aged the Croatian conspirators whose nominee killed King Alex ander and Louis Barthou. Though this view seemed exag- gerated, the prospect for Europe was for months of uncertainty and danger.
 AS for Jugoslayia itself, diplo-
 matists here saw it's relations with Italy in the next few weeks as the outstanding factor. The countries are unfriendly, really enemies, Some thought that the revolu- tionary Croats would try to stir up trouble between Italy and Jugo- slavia in order to further their own aims.
 In this connection there entered the quetsion whether Jugoslavia would be able to maintain internal order and against, some ob- servers saw war as the result 1T it did not.
 A danger was seen that Crotians and other disaffected elements In the Jugoslav Kingdom might split into warning factions - Croats. Slovenes and Macedonians against Serbs. At best they predicted a series of terroristic Incidents that would keep Europe nervous and the troops on the frontiers ready for trouble.
