— BALKAN STATES IN CLOSE PACT Bulgaria and Roumania Set- tle Differences. WILL CONTINUE NEUTRAL Roumania to Restore Territory Ac- quired From Bulgaria in Second Balkan War, This Action Being! Taken Without Pressure From the Big Powers. . Petrograd, Dec. 23.—The Bulgarian minister has announced that an agree- ment had been reached between Rou- mania and Bulgaria under which Rou- mania will restore to Bulgaria the province of Dobrudja and most of the other territory which she acquired from Bulgaria as a result<of the sec- ond Balkan war. “This agreement has been reached without pressure from either Germany or the allies,” said an official connect- ed with the Bulgarian ministry. “We shall continue to be neutral and be- lieve that Roumania, although she has no cause to fear us, also will remain neutral.” It has been asserted here that the fear of Bulgaria alone had prevented Roumania from invading Austria and entering the war on the side of the allies, “If Breece would return Kavala and the Macedonian territory she annexed during the second Balkan war and Bervia would restore to us the Mage- donian provinces she occupied, de- spite her agreement of 1912, the Bal- kan union could be reconstructed,” said the Bulgarfan official. “Under those circumstanees a lesting peace would be established in the Balkans.
