BULGARIA ALSO HOSTILE
Spain Believed to Be Only Nation
With Prospect of Immunity.
Position of Italy Assumes
First Importance.
' BT JOHN CALLAX OLACOHUN.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12. (Special.)
All Europe, with the single excep
lon of Spain, will become Involved In
the war now in progress between
Great Britain. Russia and France on
one hand and Germany and Austria
on the other.
Information received here today con
vinces the diplomats advised by their
governments that It is only a ques
tion of a short time when Italy and
Boumanta will enter into the conflict.
Turkey Hives fame of Complaint.
Turkey has given Russia and her
Hies cause for complaint by permitting
the German cruisers Goebel and Breslau
to enter the Dardanelles, when only a
lew days ago she announced that this
p ssaa was closed to belligerent war
hips. If Turkey should take part in
the war. Greece will act. Bulgaria,
which is bitterly hostile to Servla,
Roumania and Greece, undoubtedly will
be forced to throw in her fortunes
with them and with Russia. Great
Britain and France.
Switzerland, Too. in Peril.
The only two countries which would
be free from the strife are Switzer
land and Spain and In the case of the
former there is imminent danger that
he will have to fight to preserve her
neutrality just as Belgium is doing.
it is not a pretty picture which the
diplomatic dispatches from Europe
make and if the lineup takes place as
Indicated there will be an overwhelm
ing force arrayed against the dual alli
ance. The course of Italy Is of the high
est Importance. Failing to obtain her
assistance, it was desirable for Ger
many and Austria that she should re
main neutral. Had Italy stood by the
triple alliance France would have been
forced to retain a heavy force on her
southern frontier with which to hold
back the Italian troops. Now France
can rush practially her entire army to
combat with Germany.
Italy' Africa In Peril.
Italy's participation with wermany
and Austria would have meant the loss
of her African possessions, which could
have been seized by the British and
French, and the blockade of all Italian
ports.
Italy has no love for Austro-Hun-gary.
and according to the information
received here, a great deal of feeling
has been aroused by the bombardment
of Montenegrin ports by the ustrian
fleet and the destruction of Italian
property which has resulted. If Italy
should Join Great Britain. France and
Russia, her navy could dispose of that
of Austria, leaving the entire French
fleet free to Join the British fleet in
the North Sea.
Italy Can Harass Austria.
In addition. Italy could throw troops
Into Austria, thus dividing the lat
ter' s attention and making it more dif
ficult for her to repel Russia and to
give assistance to Germany.
So far as Turkey is concerned, prob
ably if that country were to become
Involved she would seek to regain
the territory lost during the Balkan
war. She also would engage Roumania.
Her patlclpation In the hostilities
would give Russia the chance she has
been looking for an attack for the
purpose of seizing the Dardnelles.
With Great Britain an ally, no objec
tion could bo made to Russia's ac
tion, and at the end of the war it
would be exceedingly difficult to re
move the Bear from this opening Into
the Mediterranean Sea.
Mediation Idea Approved.
Because of the terrible cataclysm
Into which Europe has been plunged
and the injurious effects which will be
produced -n all neutral nations, there
has developed a general approval
throughout the Western hemisphere of
the mediation proposal made by Presi
dent Wilson. Representatives of Ar
gentina, Chile and Brazil will go to the
State Department tomorrow and will
announce the sympathetic approval by
their governments of the proposal. To
do more at this time they regard as im
practical. The German Emperor, in his confer
ence with Ambassador Gerard yester
day, referred to the President's tender,
but all the information available Indi
cates that he was no more willing to
accept it than were the members of the
triple entente
"The situation is such.'' said an em
inent diplomat today, "that mediation
is out of the question (or the moment.
There must be one or two terrible bat
tles before any of the powers will be
disposed to listen te suggestions for
peace."

PARIS, Aug. 12. (Special.) Com
menting on the schedule found on
German prisoners, showing that .they
expected to reach Lille on August 5
and Paris on August 11. the Matin
says that one letter was discovered
which referred to an invitation by Em
peror William to his staff to dine to
night (August 12) at a well-known
Paris restaurant. The Matin adds:
"We are afraid the dinner vU be
cold before they get here."
The Matin further emphasizes so--called
German miscalculation by giv
ing details of the heroic conduct of
Belgians on the battlefield. It instances
Trooper Bogaerts, of the Third Lancers,
who has already personally captured
14 prisoners and killed three Uhlans,
being himself unwounded.
At Tirlemont a Belgian gendarme
alone attacked three dismounted
Uhlans, who, dropping their carbines,
surrendered.
The majority of German prisoners
immediately demand food, admitting
that the commissariat service Is ex
ceedingly faulty.

A tight of importance occurred today
near Tirlemont, where a thousand Ger
man cavalry, with quick-flring guns
mounted on horses, attacked a regi
ment of Belgian Lancers. The latter
retired owing to inferiority numeri
cally. The Belgians lost two officers and a
small number of men In killed and
wounded.
The Germans are erecting fortifica

Baron -hot by Sentry.
Baron Van Zuilekie de Ivyelt waa
shot by a sentry today while riding in
an automobile along the Namur-Llege
road.
Baron Van Zuilende de Ivyelt died
later from his wounds. The soldiers
who accompanied him were shot and
killed.
The German advance is being great
ly retarded by the Liege fortifications,
as they dominate the routes taken by
the Germans and also the intervals be
tween the forts, thereby preventing the
passage of artillery' and transport
wagons.
LONDON. Aug. 12. The official press
bureau of the British War Office says
today.
"Of the 26 German army corps, the
bulk has been located and it Is evident
that the mass of German troops is con
centrated between Liege and Luxem
burg. "The number of German troops
known to be cn the western side of
that country proves that the eastern
theater of war, the Russo-German
frontier, so far as Germany is con
cerned, is comparatively lightly
guarded, unless by reservists."
