CONFUSION IN BULGARIA
POLITICAL SITUATION
Eec. 1 p.m. LONDON, Jan. 7. Telegraph and telephone communications between Turkey and Bulgaria, which were interrupted this week, have been resumed. The Istanbul correspondent of "The .Times" says that the interruption is ibelieved to have resulted, from the ■Germans taking over the control of the key services in Bulgaria because 'of the state of panic and unrest which has reigned since the Russian ,advanpe towards Rumania began and also since the last air'attack on Sofia. More than 100,000 of the population of 450,000 are estimated to Jtiave been evacuated from Sofia. The political situation in Bulgaria is still confused. The Germans are intent on a stronger Cabinet under one of their trusted henchmen, Prince ' ; Cyril. The Premier, Bojilev, is trying to retain the present Cabinet on the plea that it is non-party. Old political leaders, backed by public opinion, <are clamouring for the formation of a Cabinet comprising all shades of opinion which might be able to produce a change in Bulgarian . policy. .Naturally the Germans have put a veto ■ on such a scheme. ■-■ Bulgarian politics are in a state of "fermentation which may lead any day to an acute crisis that will have interesting developments.
