KAISER’S ALLY MAY DESERT

BULGARIA TIRED OF WAR; KING LEAVES TO TAKE A REST. London, July 29.—“ The relations between Germany arid Turkey have been severed, according to direct information from Constantinople.” This announcement is made by the Copenhagen correspondent of the Exchange Telegraph company. The, excitement against Germany, the advices say further, has been particularly after last week’s events. The Germans recently demanded the Hamidieh, the only .large ship then in possession of Turkey, as compensation for the Breslau, the former Germap cruiser which was destroyed in the Dardanelle while under the Turkish flag. Despite Turkey’s protest, the Hamidieh has departed for Sebastopol with the German flag flying. (The foregoing dispatch is the only one which has been received regarding the reported Turkish-German break. Official confirmation has not been received in Washington.) Washington, D. C., July 29.—An official dispatch from France today says German newspapers report King Ferdinand of Bulgaria has gone to “foreign lands” for some time on account of his health.

According to the Neue Freie Presse, a Bulgarian personage on his way through Vienna admitted that the Bulgarian people were very tired of the war and had prospects of a poor harvest... Amsterdam, July 29.—A resolution declaring in favor of an immediate peace without annexations and indemnities was offered in the Austrian lower house Saturday by Deputy Stanek in behalf of the Czech league. The resolution declared that a continuation of the war is useless from the standpoint of both humanity and political utility. It asserted that all persons should have the right to self-determination and asked that the house demand that Austria oppose the annexationist and imperialistic policy which had gained the upper hand in Germany and try itself to find a way to secure a democratic peace. The house, says a Vienna dispatch to the Vossische Zeitung of Berlin, which reports the incident rejected the’ resolution as inadmissible for submission to a vote.
