Eharp Note Backed By Entente Allies.
King Ferdinand Believed Defin.
itely Committed To
Central Poweri.
London. The Russian Minister at
Sofia hits been ordered by his (iovern
jnetit to leuve the Bulgarian capital if
Bulgaria does not openly break with
the Central powers and dismiss the
Austro-Gernian officers who recently
arrived In that country to direct the
operations of King Ferdinand's army.
The other powers of the Quad
ruple Kntente are baking up Russia
In this demand, and so Bulgaria, must
within a few hours decide on con
tinued neutrality or be considered

J'o wen.
Break Expected.
From the news received during the
past few days from the Balkans, It in
considered certain that King Ferdi
nand and Premier Radoslavoff have
made their choice and are only await
ing the completion of mobilization to
strike at Serbia and assist the Austro
tlermans to open the road to Con
stantinople, which has been anxious
ly waiting for many weeks for
promised aid front the central powers.
Greece, it Is believed, will live up to
her treaty with Serbia and come to
her assistance If she Is attacked by her
neighbor, but the attitude of Rou
mania, which remains un only partly
mobilized spectator, is a matter of un
certainty. While fully confident of their ability
to handle the new situation, the Allies
do not belittle It, which accounts in
come respects for their activities.
The Roumanian Legation here has
received no information regarding the
report that an Austro-Hungarian ulti
matum has been delivered to Rou
mania demanding permission to trans
port munitions across Roumanian ter
ritory to Turkey.
An Athens dispatch to the Exchange
Telegraph Company says it is learned
from Sofia that Bulgarian mobilization
has b"en completed. The strength of
the Bulgarian troops Is estimated at
7,50.000. The artillery regiments have
been sent to the Serbian frontier,
while the Sixth and Seventh divisions
are concentrated In the regions of
Koula and Belogradchik, near the
Danube.

Latest Note From Germany la Unsatis
factory, and Secetrary Lansing
Refuses To Say What the
Next Step Will Be.
Washington. Germany has failed to
satisfy the request of the I'nited
States that the sinking of the Arabic
with a loss of American lives be dis
avowed and liability for the act as
sumed by the Imperial Government.
This became known after a confer
ence between President Wilson and
Secretary Lansing, at which the latter
submitted a note given him in New
York by Count von Ilernstorff, the Ger
man Ambassador.
Break Again In View.
No announcement was made after
the White House conference. Secre
tary Lansing said merely that it was
inadvisable to comment on the situa
tion while the negotiations were still
confidential. He declined to say what
the next step would be, but it was
learned later the German Ambassador
would be asked to come to Washing
ton soon to receive the view which the
American Government takes of the
last German note. Count von Bern
storfT Is fully authorized by his Gov
ernment to conduct the submarine
negotiations.
While the situation has improve!!
to the extent that there is no danger
of an immediate break in diplomatic
relations, as the note affords an op
portunity for further negotiation, it
was stated reliably that final refusal by
Germany to meet the American view
point on the Arabic case might bring
about the threatened rupture in diplo
matic relations.
Details Kept Secret.
Just what the details are on wmch
the two governments are in conflict is
not definitely known because of the
veil of secrecy enveloping the nego
tiations. In general. It was learned
that Germany, after examining the
evidence submitted by the United
States, came to the conclusion that
her submarine commander erred in as
suming that the Arabic was intent on
ramming the German submarine when
steaming to rescue the passengers on
the British steamer Dunsley.
This admission of a mistake would
amount to a disavowal of the act, but
the United States has insisted that
disavowal must be accompanied by an
assumption of responsibility and lia
bility, and that full reparation must
lie given for American lives lost. Ger
many, in her first note, indicated that
even if the German commander made
a mistake, the Imperial Government
would not feel obligated to pay dam
ages, but was willing to submit to
arbitration the question of whether un
der the circumstances, tho German
commander did make an honest mis
take, thus leaving it to an arbitrary
tribunal to decide what liability, If
any, was thus thereby incurred.
Discussing Case Frankly.
President Wilson has taken the
position that the United States cannot
arbitrate questions Involving the loss
of American lives and it i. thought the
next step of the Washington Govern
ment w ill indicate that the only matter
it can submit to arbitration is the
amount of damages to be paid after
the question of liability Itself is ad
mltted.

who repent of their enlistment shall
be promptly released.
The American Embassy of late has
turned all cases of the sort over to
Consul-General Skinner, who now has
a number of them under consideration.
The facts in all the cases are strik

VOICE CARRIED 2,500 MILES
Practicability Of Trasmitting B
Radio Message Started On Land
Wire Demonstrated By Suc
cessful Experiments.
Washington. Wireless telephone
conversation was carried on Wednes
day between the Naval Radio Station
at Arlington, Va., and the Mare Island
Navy Yard, on the California coast,
2.000 miles away.
Announcement to this effect was
made by Secretary of the Navy Dan
iels following the successful culmina
tion of mouths of experimenting which
has been done by the Navy Depart
ment In co-operation with the Ameri
can Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany and the Western Electric Com
pany. Less than six months ago a new era
In long-distance telephoning with the
use of wires began when President
Wilson talked over the wires from the
White House to the Administration
Building at the Panama-Pacific Exposi
tion at San Francisco. Up to that
time the telephone had never been
used for such a distance.
Today's announcement completely
eclipsed this, for not only was the Sec
retary of the Navy able to announce
that the human voice had been car
ried from Washington to San Fran
cisco without tho use of Hires but the
Incident made it reasonable to predict
that within a comparatively short
while it would be possible to hold
regular telephone conversations with
ships at sea. .
Epoch-Making, Say Navy Men.
The Importance of this achievement
from the standpoint of naval tactics
in time of war Is regarded by naval
officers as epoch-making. From the
commercial standpoint, the officiate of
the American Telephone and Tele
graph Company" were able to announce
tonight that, with the use of special
transmitters from wire to wireless
service at some central station It will
be possible In the near future for the
ordinary citizen to pick up the tele
phone In his home and converse with
his friends on the trans-Atlantic liners
at sea.
Secretary Daniels, who consistently
encouraged the use of the Navy's
scientific bureaus and laboratories for
the development of new Inventions,
said:
"It Is my pleasure to announce the
successful outcome of experiments
which have been carried on for the last
few months by the American Tele
phone and Telegraph Company and the
Western Electric Company In co
operation with radio stations under
the Jurisdiction of tho Navy Depart
ment, by which long distance wireless
telephony has been made possible."
