ITALIAN TENSION RELAXED?
Negotiations To Be Resumed
SPECIAL TO THE "TELEGRAPH" LONDON, May 7 (UP),-A sign of relaxation in the tension between Britain and Italy is seen in the announcement to-day that Mr. Edward Playfair, an official of the British Treasury, has returned to Rome to resume negotiations for the clearing agreement.
It is assumed that he will bear fresh proposals:
The "United Press" report sug- gesting that Britain hus asked Italy to define her position regarding war, and has requested an answer before May 16 have been offeinlly dented here.
Bulgarian Calm
SPECIAL TO THE "TELEGRAPH" SOFIA, May 7 (UP),-Germon and Italian reports of the concentration of Turkish troops on the Bulgarian and Greek frontiers are completely with- out foundation, as far as can be as- certained in Sofia.
The situation in Bulgaria is com- pietely calm, despite the flood of rumours which are apparently ori- German ginating
frem mainly sources.
There is considerably less nervous- ness and fear now than there was at the time of the German invasion of Norway and Denmark.
Official sources continue to state that it is Bulgarla's policy to remain neutral and outside the war unless she is attacked. She will not make use of her neighbours' difficulties, by adopting a bellicose attitude.
Pausing in his story, the old soldier voiced a complaint about the rum rations.
"There was some hitch about the rum," he complained. "I never got a drop the whole time I was there. "I must say one thing about the Germans," he went on. "They are Rot the same type af Germans os In the last war. They won't come close to you. They just keep pot- ting at you from a distance. Ther
