BIG WAR INDEMNITY.
The Allies Will Demand
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
... Support Demand

Paris, May N-The Bulgarian minister
of finance, T. Theodoroff who is to rep
resent Bulgaria at the financial con-
ference in Paris in connection with the
Balkan settlement, said today that the
Balkan states would ask for a war in
demnity of two billion francs (s400,000,-
000), of which Bulgaria S share would be
one billion francs.
Numerous precedents, he said, support
ed the Balkan demand. They did not ask
to be Undermined for indirect losses due
to the state of war, but merely for re-
endorsement of purely military expendi-
lures and the cost of pensions for those
incapacitated and the families of the
killed. As to the foreign loan. the for
elgn minister said that Bulgaria had no
intention of launching a big operation
involving 100000, 900 francs. as had been
reported, but would content herself with
SEQ 100000 for present needs, contracting
other loans as necessities arise
