 "The next 100 days will be as important in the history of the world, as the 100 days before Waterloo" declared Lord Strab- olgi, chief labor whip in the Rouse of Lords, in a speech yes- terday. When Napoleon met his fate Hitler will meet his, if we act bravely, swiftly, and surely"
 Bulgaria. first in feat in eight debacles of Germanic powers, is again retreating along a similar path. Continental reports told of the dispatch of more German troops there.
 Bulgaria is reluctant to break with Germany but anxious to continue her friendship with Rus sia.
 This key central Balkan king dom is wobbling precariously under the impact of both Allied and Nazi propaganda as well as the more direct menace of Hit ler's bayonets, and further, still, the heavier loads of Allied aerial bombs.
 Backed by German arms the puppet Bulgarian government is fighting a growing revolt of the worried pro-Russian population.
 AP correspondent Frank O'Brien, writing from Ankara, said the Third American Air Force attacks on Sofia last Fri day convinced the Bulgarian cit izen that his life and property was in danger by his govern ments alliance with Nazi Ger many.
