- GHANGED PROGRAM Country Does Not Gonsider Itsell ¥ Indispensible to Allies Rome, Aug. 12, vi.a Paris, Aug 13, 10:10 a. m.—The Bulgarian minis- ter to Italy, P. Rizow, discussing in the Tribuna the negotiations between §he Balkan states and the quadruple entente, characterizes as unjust state ments that Bulgaria considers herself dndispensible to the allies and is bargaining on that basis. Bulgaria, the minister asserts, has Dot changed her program. She was deceived in signing the treaty of Bucharest of 1913, under the terms of which she ceded to Rumania r\nekn‘]y 3,000 square miles of territory. What Bulgaria now wishes. he con- tinued, was reparation ‘ based upon the principle of nationality, for which the quadruple entente is cohtending Editorial On Status. The Miruj, a newspaper of Solia, Bulgaria, in its issue of Ju 13 pub- lished the following cditorial article ¥n the status of the negotiations be- tween Bulgaria and Great Pritain, France and Russia: “There is today no indication that an understanding can he reached he- tween Bulgaria and the entente pow- ers. The reasons for this are numer- ous. Had these negotiations Ueen begun earlier in the war they would have progressed nore rapidly It i#ralso true that if there existed greater confidence between che two parties an understanding wouid not have been dclayed. Nevertheless the principal reason for delay is to be found elsewhere. “The triple entente calls for help of neutral nations in the name of justice and of liberty, as well as in the unity of the peoples concerned iR’ a Aurable peace. With this end view the entente powers are labor- ing hard to appease. the reciprocal hatreds among the: Balkan states and to substantiate amicable relations for the hostile feelings at pressing exist- ing between the Bulgarians, the Ser- Rjans, the Greeks and the Rumanians. TFe entente powers, in the pourpar- lers with these states, persist in this idea. the Mission Complicated. “This being so, the mission of the entente powers is complicated, not to say impossible. The difficulty aris- es from the intransigeant attitude of the Balkan states toward each other. ‘“‘Bulgaria, cannot embark in an- gther war without the guarantee that fHe treaty of Bucharest shall be torn up. But ‘there is every indicatioh hat neither Serbia, Greece nor Ru- mania is declined to grant the con- cessians necessary to correct”the in- justice done to Bulgaria in Buchar- est in 1913. Russians Want Understanding. #y“It should be recognized that the Rumanians are more disposed than the others toward an understanding. It may well be that they are not sin- cere, but that is another question. In any event, up to the present time they have in no wise protested against ul- timate concessions to Bulgaria, as h#ive the Greeks and the Serbians. These countries declare Bulgaria is without importance in the war; that the entente powers do us much hon- or in asking our support; and that none of the territory claimed by Bul- garia should be restored to her. “The Greeks and the Serbians are opposed to the principles set forth by #he entente powers, and they desire to profit from the present situation. The Greeks have demanded that the allies land 300,000 troops either at Saloniki or a Kavala to march, jointly with the Greek army, across Bul garia’s recently acquired territory and, after conquering these districts to continue on Constantinople. > Allies Not Despaired. “According to information in our possession,” the Miruj says in ton- clusion, “the entente powers have net despaired of winning the support of the Balkan states, after first bringing about an amicable understanding among them. This is the reason the powers are waiting, and will under- take no declsive step before the ap- froaching meeting of the Greek cham- ber of deputies, set for August 16.” By the treaty of Bucharest at the close of the second Balkan war that portion of Macedonla which had been obtalned by Bulgaria at the close of the first Balkan war was taken.from her and divided between Greece and Serbia. Bulgaria also lost to Ru- Shnfa a strip of land from the Black Sea to the Danube. 1sulgaria also was compelled to cede back to Turkey not only Adrianople, but the battle- flelds of Kirk Kilisse, Lule Burgas and Tchorlu, where her soldlers had won victories over the Turks. ¢ Loss of Macedonia Blow. The loss of Macedonia was a heavy blow, that part which was taken from her being inhabited principally by Bulgarians.

The Germans im- ported an enormous mass of structural materials, built paved roads from the westward and dug foundations fifteen feet deep for mortars, taking endless pains in preparing the cement plat- forms, When the refugees escaped no 42 centimetre guns had arrived, but those of smaller calibre, each Tequiring three large tractors, were being hauled into position. R Holding Baltic Flank. London, Aug. 13, 12:45 P. M.—Tne Russians for the time being are hold- ing in check the Baltic flank of the German armies which are struggling to cut the Warsaw-Petrograd railway and are battling toward the Drina, be- yond which lie the roads to the Rus- sian capital. This has been accom- plished with the aid of reinforce- ments and by virtue of one counter at- tack after another, The fortress of Kovno still 'holas out, German attacks toward Riga have been repulsed, and the railway junc- tion at Dvinsk remains in Russian ‘hands. From Ostrolenka, north of Warsaw, to Chelm in the south, the Teutons claim to have made further progress, but between the Vieprz and the Bug they apparently have been thrown back with heavy loss. It may be that Field Marshal Von Hinden- burg has not exerted his full power in the north, but'is awaiting events in the south before hammering his hard- est toward the Dvina near the banks of which his cavalry has been for some time, Main Line Not Cut Through, The fact that the Germans are able to advance with comparative rapid- ity due east from Warsaw; while being checked in right and left flanks, has given rise to the impression in Eng- land and Russia that the stout sistance offered by the Russian wings will insure the safe withdrawal of the main body of troops from the War- saw salient., Contrary to many re- ports, the main line of communica- tion between the Polish capital and Petrograd has not been cut through. It would be cut if the Germans were to take Dvinsk. The approaching meetings of the Greek and Serbian parliaments give promise of bringing the Balkan situa- tion to a head, though for the mo- ment Greece and Serbia remain ob- durate in their refusal to concede ter- ritory, Allies Gain In Africa. Paris, Aug. 13, 2:20 p. m.—A des- patch received today by the Havas News Agency from a correspondent in West Africa reports further successes by troops of the entente allies in the Kamerun, a Germany colony in West- ern Equatorial Africa.

Rome, Aug. 12, via Paris, Aug 13, 1 a. m.—The effectiveness of Italian Alpine troops is repulsing two Aus- trian attempts to cross the frontier through passes of the Alps at an al- titude of 10,000 feet is pratsed by the italian war office in today’s official statement.

The watch- fulness of our Alpine troops ,who not- withstanding glaciers and high peaks are incessantly active, succeeded in frustrating this hold maneuver and the enemy was soor repulsed. He was then counter attacked and forced to flee. Gain In Cadore. “In Cadore small encounters turn- ing in our favor are reported in the high valley of Ansier und Visdende. In one of these fights we took prisoner forty light infantrymen. “Isolated infantry and artillery ac- tions also took place in Carnia in the valley of the Torrent of Fontebanna. 4An Austrian detachment trying to climb the Italian slope was attacked and put to flight. “On the Carso Platue during’the day of the 11th no event of special im- portance transpired. Only small skirmishes are reported.” French Officlal Report, Paris, Aug. 13, 2.30 p. m.—The French war office this afternoon gave out a report on the progress of hos- | tilities which reads as follws: “In the Artois district a German attack last night to the north of the Chateau of Carleul was easily checked. “In the Argonne the Germans, late yesterday afternoon, renewed their attacks in the sector between the road from Binarville to Vienne-le- Chateau and the ravine of LaHoulette, They were repulsed after a very spirited fight, in which hand grenades and bombs were used.
