LONDON, December 1
A suppressed article in the Sofia paper, Mir, circumstantially blames King Ferdinand for direct responsibility for the war against Servia and Greece. The article states that tho King, on' June 28, personally ordered General Savoff to attack Servia and the Greek lines, and that General Savoff refused. Dr Daneff, on the previous day, had told General Savoff ho must immediately demobilise, as Bulgaria had accepted the Tsar's offer of arbitration. ' The Kinj heatedly told General Savoff that he mvui obey him, and next day he gave him the alternative of either obeying or und;:going punishment, amounting even to death. General Savoff then agreed to attack if King Ferdinand gave orders in writing, and the King immediately complied. The Government was thus deprived of any voice in the matter.
General Savoff hints that King Ferdinand acted at Austria's suggestion.
