BRITISH OCCUPATION
A glance at the maps of Europe
and Asia on which are designated
positions of British troops shows
them to be rather well spotted. For
one reason or another the British
war department still considers it
necessary to keep troops in some
of the out-of-the-way places of the
world. While it is planned to re
duce most of the forces there is
no immediate prospect of the with
drawal of any force.
In the Balkans the British are
using their forces as a stabilizing
influence against the varied ambi
tions of the several states. In trans
Caspia. northwest of Afghanistan,
they are protecting the population
from Turkish excesses, the result
of the refusal of the Turks to real
ize they have been beaten in the
war. In trans-Caucasia they are
fighting the Russian Bolsheviki. In
northern Italy they are acting as a
buffer between the Italians and the
Czeeho-Slovaks until the peace con
ference settles differences there.
Several commands are in Russia and
fairly large forces are being main
tained in India. Mesopatamia and
northern Persia.
Three divisions of the force sent
to Italy in 1817 remain but in con
siderably reduced numbers. Many
men have been demobilized and
none sent to replace them. One
battalion is at Fiume, another at
Tyrol. A part of this force will be
used for the Allied Army of Occupa
tion in Austria.
The three divisions in the Bal
kans are stationed in the Dobrudja
which is the subject of considerable
controversy between Rumania and
Bulgaria, near Constantinople and
the Dardanelles and in the vicinity
of Salonika.
in Egypt and Palestine there
might be more trouble with the
Turks if a British force was not
maintained there, while in Meso
potamia it is feared the inhabitants
freed even of Turkish control, would
start fighting among themselves if
not controlled by the military. These
influences necessitate keeping a
certain number of troops in these
areas, in the opinion of the British
war office officials.
The British have troops in Russia
on the Murman coast, south of Arch
angel, and at Omsk, while at Vladi
vostock is a brigade of Canadians.
There is a British garrison of 70,
000 in India and it is not expected
to reduce this force until just be
fore the heated season begins. Ther
it is planned to bring home about
20,000 if shipping facilities are
available. This is an unusually large
garrison for India, but the war and
colonial office officals believe a
large garrison will be necessary for
some time
DUBLIN POLICE JOIN
BRITISH NATIONAL
DUBLIN.—Six hundred men of
the Dublin Metropolitan Police
force have joined the British Na
tional LTnion of Police and Prison
Officials. The force altogether num
bers about 1,200. Following the
London police strike they obtained
recently various concessions- Tho
equally under the control of the
government, the Dublin police are
less like a military force than the
Royal Irish Constabulary, on which
the maintenance of public order
throughout the country depends, and
the Constabulary are so far un
affected by trade unionism.

BULGARIA FACES
AS WAR'S RESULT
SOFIA — Bulgaria is in the throes
of a political crisis which will re
quire the greatest wisdom for its
solution. She must liquidate the
military and political disaster and
the bad effects of the personal reg
ime of King Ferdinand which ex
tended through a period of some
twenty-five years. She must restore
her standing with her alienated
foreign friends, and by wise con
cessions and reforms forestall the
spread of extreme doctrines among
a large and somewhat susceptible
population. Hearty co-operation of
all political parties is evidence of
their earnestness to meet the situa
tion wisely.
The country now has a coalition
government, the cabinet being com
posed of men from six different
parties. This is the third cabinet
change since last June, and each !
change has seen an increasing1
number of factions represented in
the official family. To an Ameri
can the popular character of the
Bulgarian government is something
of a revelation, no less than a ,
dozen different parties being for
mally represented in Parliament.
Bulgaria has taken precautions
against internal troubles through
representative and parliamentary
discussion rather than in dictator
ships, street outbreaks or other
forms of social upheaval. The
country breathes freer in the ab-;
sence of Ferdinand, even though
it is occupied by Entente- troops. j
The old chamber has been re-1
tained in office to avoid unnec-1
cessary risks and the agitation al-;
ways attendant upon national elec-1
tions. Premier Radoslavoff, who
was looked upon as a German dupe
had at no time more than a bare
majority, and that majority con- j
sisted of Turks who. in Bulgaria,
have equal rights with the Bul
garians.
Since Ferdinand’s exit, the good
behavior of the people has been in :
remarkable contrast to the situation
prevailing in Russia This is ex
plained by the assertion that Bui-1
garia is a virtual democracy and
has laid the basis for popular con- -
tentment. There is equitable dis-j
tribution of the land, government
ownership of public utilities, legis
lative contro’ of the executive, un-:
corrupted courts, and social leeis- ]
lation. Universal suffrage has been 1
enjoyed since the creation of the j
state, and the people have propor- j
tionate representation. There :s i
also the Australian ballot system,
ana other guarantees of popular;
rights.
