No doubt the Germans will tell them that if they
do not keep quiet they will miss all the promised rewards, but we doubt whether threats of that kind will really provide a solution. Directly the situation turns, or even seems to turn, against Germany, as it will, there will be a moment of agony for the Bulgarian statesmen and soldiers who so light-heartedly followed King Ferdinand's wild lead and plunged into the vortex of the war. They will begin to wonder what will be the fate of Bulgaria if, after all, the Central Powers do not win and Germany cannot keep her promises. In that desperate predicament, we should not be surprised to see Bulgaria fling herself upon the mercy of the Quadruple Entente. All this, however,, is, we admit, in the nature of prophecy, though prophecy which we believe will come true.
