BULGARIA JOINS
AXIS POWERS IN
NEW WAR MOVE
Jugoslavia Sole Balkan
Nation Outside War
Lineup; Nazi Leader
Says Others To Join.
By Harrison Salisbury
United Press Staff Correspondent
Adolf Hitler p anted the axis war
banner within a 100 miles of tho
strategic Dardanelles today by bring-
ing Bulgaria into the tri-power alli-
ance of r.ermany, Italy and Japan.
The ink of Bulgaria's signature was
hardly dry when nazi warplanes ap-
peared over Sofia ar.d droned back
and forth over the Bulgarian capital.
GTeat Britain was expected to
sever relations with Bulgaria at any
moment and opening of a major Bal-
kan war front at Salonika and pos-
sibly Thrace became an Imminent
possibility.
Bu g aria s adherence to the axil
wa*. proclaimed at Vienna in a typi-
cal axis ceremony at old Belvedere
palace in the presence of Adolf Hit-
ler. Foreign Minirter Joachim von
Ritbentrop. Count Galeazzo Ciano,
Italian foreign minister and Gen.
Hiroshi Oshtma, Japanese ambassa-
dor to Berlin.*
Signing for Bulgaria was Premier
Bogdan Flloff who r*M that Bulgaria
hoped to keep the peace and particu-
larly desired to continue and extend
her traditional friendship with Rus-
sia.
Ribbentrop jubilantly asserted that
Bulgaria wou'd not be the last coun-
try to join the axis and that "mere
and more” nations would sign up as
partners in the Berlin-Rome triangle.
This spotlighted the position of
Jugoslavia, sole Balkan nation re-
maining outside the war lineup.
Jugoslavia seemed to be playinj
for time Amide all the excitement her
foreign minister, Alexander Cincar-
Markovitch, peacefully spent the day
sight-seeing ln Budapest where te
had gone to renew friendship with
Hungary.
There seemed to be a chance that
Eritain has not yet lost hope of steer-
ing Jugoslavia out of the axis orbit.
A’though it generally was drowned
out by the axis drum-beating over
Bulgaria, the British were quietly
pleased and confident ax a result of
foreign secretary Anthony Eden's dis-
cussions *ith Turkey
It was believed in London that
Britain had created in Ankara a
firm line of risistance which may
halt the axis drive ln Thrace, the
strategic province of Turkey-tn-Eu: -
ope which protects the Dardanelles.
Turkey is not expected to move out

co-operate if the British send a maj-
