Terms of the Armistice.
a
London, Oct 1. Reuter learns that the Bulgarian armistice operates im- mediately. It provides for the immediate evacuation of such pals of Greece and "Serbia as are in the hands of the enemy, the immediata demobilization of the army and the danding over to the Ailies of all kinds of transport, boats and railways; moreover the Allies will control all arms which will be collected in stores) The Allies have a free paskage "through Bulguria and will occupy points of strategic im
portance. This occupation in Bulgaria will be carried out by British, French or Italian troops while the Greek districts" will be occupied by Greeks and Serbian districts "by Ser- bians. The arrangement made is the most complete military surrender of Bulgaria and the results will be very far reach- ing Political questions are deferred to the ultimate gen- eral peace conference. It is thus hoped to secure a peri manent peace to the Balkans and the Allies can now hold cut a better prospect of an ultimate friendly solution of Balkan problems than by any other scheme,
Value of the Armistice.
London, Oct. 1.
That the Balkans have again upheld their reputation as a land of endless possibilities is the unanimous verdict of the press. The bewildering rapidity of developments makes toe situation difficult to follow, but there is no longer any doubt that Bulgaria's surrender means the knocking out el the keystone of, the whole edifice of the so-called Central European selieme, the collapse of which will entail, the ruin of the grandiose Berlin-Bagdad plans which have so long been drugled in German eyes as compensation for the people's sacrifices. All waters emphasise teat the Bulgarian arrangement is purely military and dictated by the needs of the present situation. The Allies have no intention of interfering in the domestic affairs of the Bulgarians who "can keep Ferdinand if they want nim." Hitherto there 'is' no indication of Turkey's attitude but with the main line from Berlin to Constantinople cut and the Danube open to the Allies alie is isolated from Germany except by a roundabout and uncertain route via Bumania or Odessa which may be blocked at any moment. Moreover with tae. Bulgarian railways in their possession the Allies are able for the first time to have seriously threatened Constantinople and to reach the Black Sea, turning the positions at the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus. Not the smallest effect of Bulgaria's defeation is the automatic liberation of two-thirds of Serbian territory, while the possession of Uskub given the Allies a footing on the railway offering access to the beart of Old Serbia and striking a direct blow against Aus- tria. The attitude of Austria arouses considerable specula tion. She has hitherto been comparatively safe on the Belgrade front and able to concentrate the bulk of her forces on Italy, but with the Uskub threat she is faced with the dilemma of weakening her front on the Piave with the dead certainty of an Italian onslaught adding confusion. Aus- tria's peril is fully recognised by Gerinsay and already there are suggestions that the Germans should shorten their front in the west by evacuating Belgium and France to the line of the Meuse, thus releasing sorely needed divisions to belp Austria and endeavour to seize Bulgaria with the help of von Mackensen's garrison in Bamanin This, however, is regarded as a counsel of despair,"experts opining that von Mackensen will, nave his hands full in holding the Danube frontier. It is not yet known what effect the news of the actual surrender" of Bulgaria has nad on Germany but, judging of the effect of the mere suggestion, it must bave been staggering. The papers nave been talking of "treachery of a seatry at the gate endangering the whole fortress" but always with the obvious assumption that Bul- garia would not go to extremes. The fact that Germany a front is likely to crumble both in the east and west simultane- ously for the first time in the war in expected to increase the dismayin Berlin where there is a veritable panie on the Stock Exchange and inflated war industry stocks have" slumped heavily. Nentrals report extraordinary spectacles ( in Berlin and other cities, the people eagerly awaiting de velopments. The residences of Bulgarian representatives and ot the Austrian embassy have been surrounded with strang cordons of police and the leading industrial organ the "Dacsseldorfer Nachrichten violently attacks the Govern- ment and argues that the alliance with Bulgaria was a mis take from the outset and based on the false theory fant Britain could have been given a death blow by striking at the Suez Canalqu
