The Immediate consequence Is German declaration of martial law which, presumably, will be followed by the shooting of re calcitrant Danes. TPHE German! will have to move swiftly and decisively in Denmark. Too much disorder there would Invite an allied In vasion. 'A SOMEWHAT similar situs- lion exists In Bulgaria which also had been shown special consideration by the nazls. King Boris' death (from what- Qyit cause) Is followed by the ccesslon to tho throne of his six-year-old son, a. regency (in the patter of royalty, regents are guardians for cjilld kings and queens) composed of two strong anti-Germans, two strong pro- Germans and an unknown. It Is guessed that the regency Is only a stop-gap and will be followed by a German military government , e 'THE Bulgarian people are V predominantly Slavic, ana are sympathetic with Russia rather than with Germany. As so often happen In Europe, the Bulgarian people take what they get, rather than what they want.) CWEDEN, Denmark and Bui- " gnrla have all been more or less honeyed along by the nails. Ols at least significant that all rce are now problem spots. Evidently the German honey ing HASN'T been misunderstood. TN Italy, Clano (Mussolini's playboy son-in-law) skips the country, and is snid to have 0 reached Munich. Tho Germans evidently connived at his escape, and the Italian peoplo are said to be considerably angered thereat. , (Note that the Italian PEO PLE, like the Bulgarians,, take what they get, rather than get ting what they want. That has always been more or less funda mental In the European system.) "MANO Is generally believed to have got away with some sixty million dollars (looted from the Italian people, of courso) Ohlch Is also characteristic of e European system. This doubtless Irks hungry and ragged Italians but, as al ready stated, common, ordinary PEOPLE don't get much consid eration In Europe. They've been successfully bamboozled so -long by scheming leaders that it Is rather taken for granted that they'll stand for anything. Usually, they do. QCCASIONALLY as In the ' French and Russian revolu tions they blow up, and there Is much shedding of blood and rolling ot heads, but In the end scheming leaders outwit them and get them under control again. ' That Is one of history's sad stories. ' VN the shooting side of the nows today, Taganrog falls to the Russians.

"Our troops have been forced to give ground slightly in some points of the Salamaua sector, said a spokesman at General Douglas MacArthur's headquar ters.

O'BRIEN ISTANBUL, Aug. 30 (P Bulgaria, unsettled by the death ot King Boris, presented po tential problem to Adolf Hitler today as Premier Bogdan Philov strove to reconcile conflicting elements in the nation which made his position none too se cure. ' The five -member regency which, German broadcasts said, will rule in behalf of the boy king, Simeon II, apparently is dominated by an anti-German, pro-British church leader the Metropolitan of Sofia, Stefan, who has protested against gest apo activity in Bulgaria and against anti-semltic laws passed during the last two years. Queen Anti-German The Queen Mother Ioanna, second member of the regency, also is regarded as decidedly anti-German. Prince Kyril, brother of the late king, and Philov are both pro-German but far from strong,' while the fifth regent is a politically unknown supreme court justice. Composed by such diverse elements, it seems highly un likely that this regency will be able to prevent the orphaned Philov government from col lapsing and being replaced with a military cabinet. Military Leader In that event the leader of the government probably would be selected from the military hierarchy which is enthusiasti cally pro-German. Such a gov ernment doubtless would be pliant to ' German desires -and might break off relations with Russia and agree to assume the chief burden of the defense of Greece or even participate in the Russian war.
