REDS OBJECT TO
GERMAN THRUST
THROUGH BULGARIA

goslavia's Vardar valley to Saloni-
ka instead of taking the noun
famous way through Bulgaria.
Adding to Southeastern Europe's S
war of nerves was a report that
Bulgaria may join the Rome-Ber-
lin-Tokyo axis as a result of last
nights secret cabinet meeting in
Sofia.
That meeting followed a long
conference among Baron Herbert
Won Richthofen, German minister
to Sofia, and Bulgarian leaders.
Bulgarian adherence to the Axis
alliance, it was believed in diplo-
matte quarters, might turn the
Nazi armies toward Yugoslavia,
although Bulgarian air bases would
be used.
Another theory advanced was
that Hitler could get to Greece
much quicker down the Vardar
valley-historic road of conquest
than through Bulgaria.
Balkan diplomats expressed the
belief that such a change in the
Nazi program-if there be one
would be due to the fact that
speed now is essential if Hitler de-
cides to go to Greece and the
Mediterranean.
The time element is essential,
these informants explained, be-
cause the British, having made
tremendous progress against the
Italians in Africa, now are in a
position to swiftly transport troops
to Salonika to back up the Greeks.
Some well-inforrned military OBJ.
servers, particularly those with
close German connections, were
of the opinion that when the time
comes to march Hitler would send
his troops every possible way in
order to get there at as many
points as possible.
That would mean through both
Bulgaria and Yugoslavia. {

books from the consulate safe in

unsuccessful attempt had been
made to filch valuable papers from

Despite protest to the Bull

This case, the minister went on,

London broke off with Bucharest.
He announced if diplomatic re-
