ANOTHER EXPLOSION POSSIBLE. RUSSO-BULCARIAN AGREEMENT. ALREADY DIVIDING THE SPOIL. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, January 15. (Received Jan. 15, at 9.46 p.m.) The Daily Telegraph states that there has been recent talk of military activities in the Balkans, which is probably due to the coincidence of frontier troubles in Hungary and Rumania. With reinforcements of the Bolshevist Army ou the Bessarabian frontier, the reappearance of Bulgarian bands near the Dotirudja River and in Serbian Macedonia, and the rapid growth of the Kemalists in Eastern Thrace, the position is tense, and may‘easily be come explosive. The Little Entente has energetically drawn the attention of the Great Powers to the danger. The Morning Post’s Belgrade -corrcspon dent reports that an agreement has been reached between the Soviet Government and Bulgaria that if ivar breaks out Bulgaria -will remain neutral, until a propitious moment, when she will assist Russia with Irregulars, Russia attacking Bess - - arabia, across the Dobrudja, and Bulgaria Thrace. If the scheme were successful, Thrace would go to Bulgaria and Constantinople to Russia.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
