TROUBLE IN BULGARIA.
government Trying to Play Game
Both WAYS.

Geneva, Sept. 3 (via Paris) In
formation reaching here from Bucha-
rest by way Of Zurich represents the
situation in Bulgaria as becoming
more unsatisfactory, owing to the
indecision Of the government which
Is attempting to conserve the coun-
try's neutrality and at the same time
satisfy it's national ambitions.
A majority of Bulgarian statesmen
favor a rapprochement with the
quadruple entente, Servia and
Greece. In view of the state of
public feeling and the news from
Nish that Servia is willing to make
territorial concessions the Bulgarian
government finds it embarrassing to
continue its policy of neutrality.
1t is set forth that German dip
lomatic agents have been unable to
give Bulgaria sufficiently satisfactory
guarantees concerning the furnishing
of ammunition and other supplies.
Relations between Bucharest and
Sofia are strained.

Ing the presidents attitude and in
dicating a belief that the United States
might be In a position to help in
bringing the European war to an end.
After reading the message. the car
dinal remained for half an hour with
the president. discussing the possibil-
ity OF world peace. He announced he
had talked peace with the president
and told him OF his qualification over
the apparent success OF negotiations
with Germany over submarine war
fare. He said prospects for peace
seemed TO be Frightening.
The text OF the pope's message was
not made public nor was there any
formal comment on II from the
White House. Unoficially. however.
II was said that the president was
much pleased with the message and
with the interview. 1t was UNDER
stood that the pope made no definite
suggestions as TO a peace movement
and that his message was purely a
personal one to President Wilson and
not addressed to the heads of other
neutral governments.
The visit OF the cardinal created the
deepest interest in official and dip
lomatic circles. II had been known
since Tuesday that he was coming but
while the pope's cablegram reached
him Monday there was no inkling of
Il I'm Washington until today.
Joint action for peace among the
heads OF several neutral nations and
the pope was suggested as a possible
outcome of today's developments, but
this idea received no official confirma-
tion. Up to the present the United

belligerents.

Sea OF Doubtful War.
Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept. 3 (via Lon
dom despite the fact that a deci-
sion Of the Bulgarian government re-
garding the Macedonian question is
generally considered imminent. there
are no signs Of excitement here.
AT the foreign office today the fol-
lowing statement was made to the
Associated Press correspondent:
1.-THE Bulgarian government is en-
gagged in formulating it's reply to the
Servian government, although Ser
Was statement has not yet been re-
ceived, being guided in this by an in
timatiOn recently given by the quad
ruple entente. Meanwhile, the Bull
garian government is continuing it's
negotiations with the Turkish gov
ernment concerning the cession
lof Lypimetz-Adrianopl le-Dedeaghatch
railroad line and certain adjacent
territories of great strategic import
lance.
THE Bulgarian government is not
inclined to embark upon an adven-
turOus career. Statements to the
contrary purporting to come from
Bulgarian sources are made by politi-
cal opponents of the government who
|are using them for. international
political purposes. Now, as hereto
fore. the Bulgarian government is
guided by these factors:
First, non-acceptance Of the treaty
of Bucharest, which was not ratified
by the national assembly and which
is not acceptable to Bulgaria so long
as it remains unrevised.
Secondly, the unwillingness of the
Bulgarian people to engage in a war,
the outcome of which is at all doubt
full"
From governmental sources it was
Learned that the Bulgarian govern
ment and. it is declared, the Bulgarian
people have in nowise modified the
policy toward Macedonia outlined in
February last in a statement to the
Associated Press by Premier Radios
lavoff when he declared the domina-
tion of Macedonia by Servia and
Greece had produced results diam
etrically opposite to the principles
for which the Bulgarians have stood
for many centuries.
1t is argued here that while the
proposals of the entente, if accepted,
would involve the shedding of Bull
garian blood against Turkey, those
coming from the other side do not
necessarily demand this.
The Turkish defense of the CAL
lipoli peninsula has made a deep i'm
preston here. A high military off,
cial said today:
Evidently the Turkish army of to-
day is altogether unlike the army we
fought two years ago."

A SMOOTH CRATER
IS THIS MAN MOORE
Presents Bogus Warrant on
School District SO And .
Gets The Money.

John L. Powell of Balboa, a school
director in district No. SO, was in
the county treasurer's Office We'd
nesday to look into the financial
standing of his district, and while
there made a startling discovery.
In was found that on the 18th
day of February a man giving the
name of C. N, Moore presented a
warrant to Treasurer Gyngard on
district No. SO, calling for $40 for
repairs on the school building. Mr.
Gyneard paid the warrant with a
check on the bank of Evening Shade,
and the check was cashed at the
bank on that date.
The warrant was bogus piece of
paper, signed by the three directors,
j. L. Powell, W. B. Runsick and D.
W. Anderson. Mr.. Powell says no
repairs have been made on the school
building in the past two or three
years, and there is no such man in
that section as c. N. Moore
Treasurer Gyngard does not re-
member the man who called him
self Moore we'll enough to give a
description of him, although he re-
members cashing the warrant. He
says Moore told him when he pre-
sented the warrant that he was a
resident of district 36; that he knew
Gyneard and that he had been
given the contract to repair the
school building after Lightning had
blown a large tree down upon the
house and almost wrecked 1t. Cash
ier Metcalf of the Bank of Evening
Shade does not remember the cir
cumstance of cashing the treasurer's
check.
Evidently this foreer was acquaint-
ed with the people and conditions
in district No. 36, and he has done
the job well enough to escape detec-
to1 perhaps.
