BU,LOARIA’S POSITION STILL INDEFINITE Said to llave Concluded Agreement with Central War 0clober 1 Powers to Euler 5. Assurances oi Neutrality were Probably Bluii. (Special to the uusrdlan.) PARIS, Sept. 29.-Bulgaria and the Central Powers have concluded a precise agreement, according to nulli- oritative information, says s Le Temps correspondent at Saioniki, Greece. Under this agreement Bulgaria will enter the war on October 15th. (Special to the Guardian.) LONDON, September 28.-“lf Bul- garian mobilization should result- in Bulgaria assuming an aggressive at- titude on the side of our enemies we are prepared to give our friends in the Balkans all the support in our power, in a manner that would be most welcome to them, in concert with our allies," was the announcement made by Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign secretary in the house of com- mons this afternoon. Secretary Grey emphasized the long- standing friendship between Great Britain and Bulgaria, and added: “Our official information from the Bulgarian government is that they have taken up a position of armed neutrality to defend their rights and independence, and that they have no aggressive intentions whatever again- st their Balkan neighbours. Not only is there no hostility in this country rewards Bulsefim i?i1t-¢i1£§e__i§._t\iei1_-_ itional warm feeling of sympathy with the Bulgarian people. So longs therefore, as Bulgaria does not side' with the enemies of Great Britain orher allies there can be no question of British' influence or forces being used in any sense hostile to the Bul- garian interests, and so long as tho Bulgarian attitude is unagressive there .__-_can_ha.no.diatiirhance_of_those_frienila ly nations." After making the categorical un- nouncement_J.haL_ if_Bulgaria sliouhL assume an aggressive attitude on the side of Great Britain’s enemies, the government would take action, Sir Edward Grey continued: "We are, of course, in consultation with our allies on the situation, and l believe the view I express is theirs also; our policy being to secure nn agreement in respect to the Balkan States which will ensure each of them not only independence, but a brilliant future, based as a general principal on territorial and political union and kindred nationality." "To secure this agreement. U10 foreign secretary continued, "we re- cognize-that the legitimate aspirations the European war, with the result that that empire is completely siiliordin- ated to Germany and dependent upon her. "Turkey, whose interests would have been preserved it' she had rcniuiiied neutral, has been gratuitously forced by Germany into this war, ami is now being subordinated and made depend- ent on Gerniany’s aspirations and influence, from Berlin to Bagdud. "'ln the same way, it would natur- ally be Geriiiaiiy’s policy so to use any of the Balkan States, with the in- evitable result tliat those States eventually would be subordinated to her and that, though territorial gains might he promised, they would lose their independence. _ “This is directly contrary to the policy of the allies, which is to fur- ther the national aspirations of the Balkan States without sacrificing the independence of any of them." (Special to the Guardian.) LONDON, September 28. -“The pacific assurance of the Bulgarian minister at Athens have not lind the effect of altering the determined position of Greece which nothing short oi’ Bulgarian deniobilization can alter," says Rcuter’s correspond- ent at Athens. The victory of the Allies in Champagne came at the -r-iglit--momeiit..i.o.dispelthe last ves- tige of sympathy for the central pow- --ors which have been losing ground since the Bulgarian mobilization.
