Broadcasting from Sofia, lie stated that the Government was anxious to avoid war! against Russia and had therefore decided to disarm non-Bulgarian troops entering Bulgaria •or stationed in Bulgarian territory. The Government had also ordered the withdrawal of Bulgarian occupation troops, which began a few days ago. _ A correspondent at Cairo says there has been a lialt in the Bulgarian armistice proceedings, owing to the fact that the Bulgarian Government has fallen. The Bulgarian delegates in Cairo found themselves not representing any Government for the time being. The Russian wireless has lately been strongly attacking the Bulgarian Government for continuing to give aid and shelter to Germans, despite the recent declaration of "neutrality." Under this powerful stimulus, Bulgaria's departure from Germany's side is likely to be accelerated. •■■■.-, ' Bucharest Wholeheartedly welcomed the Bed Army which inarched" in yesterday^ said Moscow radio.
