Whitlock Will Quit
if Germany Insists
\tr<m Th? Trttiur.e liumsu]
Washington, Oct. .10. If the pres?
ence of Minister Brand Whitlock in
Belgiern proves offensive to the Ger- '
man government he will be promptly
withdrawn, a high State Department
official declared to-day. The depart
ment ha? not been advised that the i
? iorman Foreign Office entertains the '
views of certain Berlin editors, pub?
lished to-day. bu' there m a certain
apprehension in official ?juarters that
the Minister to Belgium may have to
be recalled.
Mr. Whitlock'? >tutus since the occu?
pation of Belgium by the German
forces has been unu?ual. Refusing to
leave the country with the Belgian gov?
ernment, to which he is Btcredtted,
when 11 transferred its capital to
Havre, Fraru-e,, ho has remained con?
stantly at Brussels, looking after the
interests of ?saserieeua an.i satstiea el
Germany and superintend.ng the re?
lief of the destitute.
He has no official standing with the!
?Is facto government i tab ed by
Germany. The State Departaaei
mits that he is there merely "mi ?uf
ferance" as a "sporn; ,| nlomalic
agent " He is therefore hahle to ar?
rest, punishment or expuls.on i ? a
s.mple eitlsOB, at the pleasure of the
German authorities.
While Mr. Whitlock is still nomi?
nally responsible for American inter?
est at tv,e Belgian court, hi? dutlea
are actually being discharged by the
American l'onsul General at Havre. It
is believed that if Germany in?ists on
his leaving Beigium Mr. Whitlock will
be sent to his post in the present Bel
g.an capital.
Mr. Whitlock has not been active re?
cently because of illness. His work
has been done chiefly by the secretary
of th?- legat.on. Hugh S. Gibson. As
Mr Whitlock has assumed full respon
sibility for Mr. Gibson'? actions, how
e\>r, the German government won Id
. undoubtedly insist on Mr. Whitlock ?
recall if it found Mr. Gibson's action?
offensive.
Mr. Gibson's report on the Cavsll
tase, which wat forwarded to Ambas
< satlor I'age, in London, and turned
over by him to the British govern?
ment, i?, of course, the direct cause of
Mr. Whitloek's unpopularity in Beii.n
< ontributory causes reach back al?
most to the beginning of the war, and
are due to Mr. Whitlock.'? constant
solicitude for the iielgmn people.
No Belgian subjects recently ha\e
, been condemned to death at Liege, the
; dorm?n government declares, in
: SBSWet to the appeal of the State I'e
\ partment tent a few ?lav? ago at the
i request of the Belgian M la is tat hare,
Mr. B. Havenith.

London, Oct. .in. Three Turkish
warships, including the former (??r
man cruisers Breslau and (?oehen,
rave attacked a Russian squadron
in the Mack Sea and attempted to
prevent the landing of troops on
Bulgarian soil, according to a pri?
vate me-sage t<? Berlin from Bucha?
rest, reaching here through Copen
?*.?gen.
No news of the outcome of the
t-pgagement with the Russian ship?,
said to consist of three battleships
anil destroyers, accompanied by a
large number of transports, has yet
been received, say.? the dispatch.
Although the report of the lie I lie
?s not seriously credited here, owing
Lo the fact that the (ioehen and tho
Broala?*, whe.. last heard from,
were out of commission in th ?
(?olden Horn, there is a general be
lief, however, that a movement ?if
Russian troops against Bulgaria
has begun.
But whether this advance is b*
way of the Black Sea, or through
Rumania, or both, dispatches hav.
been too meagre to indicate. Some
substantiation i? lent to this convic?
tion in a guarded Petrograd mes?
sage to-day, referring to Kmperor
Nicholas's "journeying south to
give a send-off to large force? of all
arms."
Advices from Rome also confirm
yesterday's announcement of tho
Athens "ilestia" that definite ar
rungements have been made for ths
passage of Russian troops through
Rumania to aid Serbia, and that the
i-.cceptance of the concession's of the
Entente powers foreshadows active
participation in the war by th>? Ru?
manians.
Any Russian attack through Ru
mania, it is pointed out by military
observers here, probably woubl b-?
timed with a landing at the Black
?Sea port of Varna, as a part of IJM
same general scheme of cutting the
new avenue of Turkish munition
ment established by the opening of
the I'anube and the Bulgarian river
ports.

Russian concentration along the
Rumanian fror.ti?*r, according t ?
this view, has thus taken place op?
posite the Rumanian toxims of (ia
latz and Iasi, whence it is but 300
and 120 miles by rail, respectively,
to the Danube and the Bulgarian
port of Russe. From Varna to
I'usse is about sixty miles.
With this Hanube port, which the
Uulgarian? are now hastily fortifying*.

the Rumanians, :n ca?e the latter enter

last Sunday, ha? been arranged for to?

lag is to be "the last constitutional ef?
