Agrariaa agents from Bulgaria are

In their plan..
It Is believed that Serva and Mon

jltlcaliy precarious condition will
'make look with favor on a situation
.that a few months ago would bo

I The confederation will cause a set

I The combination would bo better
ableto deal with Austria on better
terms and if (t Is effected, the Bos
