side King. Ferdinand and Premier
Radoslavoff will choose. Notwith
standing signs of 'hostility toward
Serbia, opinions are expressed by
some well Informed diplomats that
Bulgaria will not fight, and that even
though the government should elect
to do so, tho Bulgarian people would
ror, 1st such a policy. Meantime Sofia
continue to deny the existence of the
threatening conditions on which the
Russian ultimatum is based. A nega
tive Action will not satisfy the allies,
who demand that Bulgaria shall
"opehly break . with the enemies of
the Slav cause." It action by the al
lies becomes necessary when Bulgaria
makes a f!??al disclosure of her in
