Balkan dispatches reaching the
Italian press asserted Bulgaria was

end of the World War.
The same dispatches described the
Bulgarian situation as similar to
that Of Rumania with respect to
German aid-in other words. Ger

Ankara dispatches talked of Turk

garian drive into Greece, SO long as
Turkey herself were not attacked.
