London, Oct. 6, 1:30 p, m,—Developments in the Balkan States
within the last twenty four hours have caused intense pessimisme
here today. Chief of these developments are the resignation of Pre
mier Venizelos, the recognized friend of the Allies in the Greek
Ministery, because King Constance rejected his pro-Ailies policies.
Another serious cause for apprehension is the rejection by Bulgaria of
the RussianeUltimatum, which demanded immediate severance of the
intimate relations with the Teuton powers and { King Ferdinand of
Bulgaria. Roumania has refused to take an open stand in support of
either side by refusing to put her army on a war footing.

Zeitung Am Mitag says: ‘‘Premier Radoslavoff, of Bulgaria, todavl

parties: |
““ *We confront war and must defend our national interests. We
must wrest from enemies everything they took from us two years ago
and get satisfaction for every insuit.
London, Oct. s—*‘lt is Russia which has precipitated the trouble
in the Balkans by insisting that a handful of German officers in civilian
dress be expelled from Bulgaria,” was the Bulgarian legation’s com
-ment on the situation to the Associated Press today.
The legation took the stand that Bulgaria was not the aggressor,
and if a ho:tile act had been committed it was not Bulgaria that had
committed It.
“‘No preparations have been made for closing the legation here,”
it was added, ‘““and none will be until a notification by the British
government necessitates such a step.

FATEQF PANAMA CANAL
Slide North of Gold Hill
Ties Up 76 Vessels With
: Cargoes
Washington, Oct. 4—The great
dest o>f the Panama Canal construec
t'on now faces the engineers re
sponsible for its mai-tenance. The
slide north of Gold Hill is gaining
on the degrees which are working
day and night.
Seventy-six vessels, luder with
valuable cargoes, are tied up on
the Atlantic and the Pacific sides
of the great” waterway. And to
day the last word from Colonel
Harding the acting governor, is
that it probably will be the la’ter
‘part of this month befzre the canal
can be redjpened
This is the worst tieup since the
caral was opened and on the man
ner in which the engineers sclve it
may depend the entire ruture of
the ocean-to-ocean passage.
Officials sugeest that the hopes
of the engineers that the water will
hold the earth back have prove
unfounded. The result is that new
the dredges must continue opera
tions until all of the loose earth is
removed, At both the War Depart
ment and the Canal Commission
offices it was declared today every
thing possible was being done to
solve the problem.
