NAZI PLOT IN BALKANS
MARCH THROUGH BULGARIA ATTACK ON GREECE EXPECTED (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright) (Received February 10, 11.30 p.m.) LONDON, February 10. The Daily Mail’s Sofia correspondent says: Mobilization is proceeding steadily in Bulgaria. The majority of those called up are going to the BulgarianTurkish frontier. The German plan apparently is to have the Bulgarian Army block the Turks while the Germans proceed unhindered into Greece. It is no longer considered a question whether the Germans will inarch through. It is merely a question of when. The Sofia correspondent of the Associated Press of America states that official quarters deny Mr Churchill’s statement that German troops are already moving into Bulgaria. They add that the only German soldiers in Bulgaria have been there a long time training the Bulgarian Army to use its German equipment. Mr Churchill did not say that German soldiers had moved in. He said that thousands of ground personnel had occupied air fields and that preparations had been made for troops. Mr Churchill added: “Perhaps this southward movement has begun.”
