BULGARIAN POLITICS
CONFUSED SITUATION Recd. 6 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 Tifnes says that. the interruption is believed 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 advance 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 have been evacuated from Sofia. The political situation in Bulgaria is still confused. The Germans are in • tent 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.
