This factor completely dis- poses of reports concerning the activi- ties of Rumanian troops on the fron- tier, which in reality are nothing more than the annual maneuvres.” Relations Improving. Athens, Greece, Thursday, Sept. 16, via Berlin and London, Sept, 17, 12:42 p. m.—There are indications that the relations between Greece and Bul- garia are improving. In the most in- fluential circles the conviction is said now to have been reached that neu- trality must be the only policy for Greece. The utterances of Premier Radesla- voff af Bulgaria, expressing the hope | for more cordial relations with Greece have made a deep impression, as has also the declaration that the future of the Balkans depends upon an un- derstanding between these two tions. The pro-Russian has been suppressed. newspaper Mir Germany Makes Promise Turin, Sept. 17, via Paris, 5 a. m.—The Stampa says it has learned “From a diplomatic source” that Gormany has made extensive promise! to Bulgaria to obtain that nation benevolent neutrality. It states that these promises were made to King Ferdinand of Bulgaria by the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg an behalf of Emperor William, and that among them was the stipulation that Ferdinand should have the crown of Byzantium. The dispatch, which lacks authori- tative confirmation, would indicate its face a promise to Bulgaria of a radical extension of its boun- daries. The ancient Byzantine Em- pire included all the territory now held by the various Balkan nations and European Turkey.
