OMINOUS MASSING IN BULGARIA

Middle East Threat (British Official Wireless.) NEW YORK, July 26. The Turkish military intelligence has received alarming reports of sudden vast German troop concentrations of shipments of tanks, artillery, and planes in Bulgaria, apparently aimed against the Middle East, says the Ankara correspondent of tlie “New York Times.” The Belgrade-Sofia railway is choked with army trains coming from Austria, bearing tanks, guns, and munitions, while great numbers of bombers are flying from the Reich to secret Bulgarian aerodromes which accommodate an entire air fleet. Transport via the German supply route to Greece, which hitherto has fed Field-Marshal Rommel’s rear, has slackened off simultaneously with the ominous concent, at ions in Bulgaria. RED PILOTS “GRAZE” KUIBYSHEV, July 27. The war correspondent of "Izvestia” savs: “The Germans have only a few good tank crews left from last year. This year the men are not oDthe same quality, and when they cannot operate in the mass they are not. heroes. “Corn and grass are now high on tlie steppes, and the Germans are like herds in tlie mist. The Russian pilots have a new slang term when they set out against them. They say, ‘We are going out to graze.’”
