Show BIGARS UNDER GERMAN CONTROL Every Department in Complete Subjection to German Officers Of-ficers Who Dictate Simplest Acts. WAR MOVES DELAYED Bulgarians and Turks Being Put Ahead of Teutons in Order to Save Their Own Men. London, Jan. 4. 2:33 a, m. The Balkan correspondent of tho Times sends a dispatch in which he declares de-clares that the Bulgarian officials are in complete subjection to German jurisdiction. He says that every department de-partment of the Bulgarian administration administra-tion is under control of German officers of-ficers whose permission ifc necessary for the transaction of the simplest business. He continues: "In order to strengthen the German hold on Bulgaria and Turkey and to spare their own men, the Germans aim at employing native troops, so far as possible, in foreign service and in pursuance of this policy will employ em-ploy Turkish as well as Bulgarian troops for an advance on Saloniki. The delay in this attack is not clue to the difficulty in bringing up troops and supplies but to the reluctance of Greece to open her frontier in fear that the Bulgarian soldiers will take revenge for the events of June, 1913. The prospect of re-entering Saloniki, however, is the only remaining remain-ing inducement Germany can offer Bulgaria for continued participation In the war and if this is refusecj the incipient peace movement in Bulgaria will make rapid progress with the result re-sult that the next few months may witness a strong reaction in Bulgarian Bulgar-ian public sentiment." |
