RUSSIA ON THE ALERT WARNING TO GERMANY [By Telegraph—Frees Association—Copyright] Received Jan. 12, 9.30 p.m. LONDON, Jan. 10. The Istanbul correspondent of The Times says it is reported from Bucharest that German troop . movements are causing grave misgivings in Rumania. Russia seriously cautioned Berlin about this, to which Germany replied that she was merely replacing troops requiring rest. The correspondent reported that Hungarian mobilisation was interrupted as a result of stern Russian intervention, but not before strong Hungarian detachments had occupied strategic Carpathian summits outside the territory granted Hungary under the Vienna award. Rwnanians ar» thoroughly alarmed at these pccurrences, which are considered as forerunners of grave events in the Balkans.
Il is generally believed in Turkey that Germany is exerting strong pressure on Bulgaria to adhere to the tripartite pact and allow the passage of German troops, but it is believed Bulgaria is wary of making a move likely to upset Russia. The arrival of Herr Killinger in Bucharest is awaited with apprehension. It is feared he will exert an overwhelming influence in politics in an attempt to reinstate the Iron Guard Government. The infiltration of Gelman troops continues. German officers and soldiers, wearing Rumanian uniforms have already been incorporated in Rumanian units. The Daily Express’ correspondent at Sofia reported that M. Filoff, after interviewing King Boris, announced that he and five members of the Cabinet, with fifty Parliamentary supporters, will begin countrywide tours on January 12 and wifi explain by speeches the Government's foreign policy. Germany is reported to have warned Bulgaria against a further swing to Russia and also actively campaigning against M. Filoff’s administration. Russian-German antagonism regarding Bulgaria has been intensified since the arrival of German army technicians, about which Russia has asked for a full explanation.
