"Proceeding Satisfactorily"

BUDAPEST, Aug. 3.-M. Radoslavoff.
the Bulgarian premier. has given an
interview to the Soma correspondent OF
AZ Est. In answer to a question as to
the result Of the negotiations with Tur-
key, M. Radoslavofr said:
There is much talk going on abroad
about Bulgaria. but all I can say Is the
negotiations are proceeding quite salts
ractorily."
The correspondent suggested that II

ing on negotiations simultaneously with
two groups of powers. Nj. Radoslavofr
remarked:
1T is these negotiations that give us
the chance to make decision. our
country seeks only her own advantages
and wishes to realize her rights. We
have decided to gain these in any case.
To Join One Side or Other.
THE only question to be settled is.
how can we achieve our aim with the
least sacrifice? As regards the internal
situation Of Bulgaria. l may proudly
say that our conditions have improved
and that everybody In the country looks
forward to the great national under
taking We are about to embark on with
immense Joy and enthusiasm
Commenting on this interview. the
same paper says It does not convey
anything else but that Bulgaria Is re-
solved to Join one side or the other. In
any CAGE, NJ. RadosIavoff is resolved 10
realize the national aspirations Of Bull
garians. with whom or against whom
he does not care. 1t argues that the
winning over Of Bulgaria or the losing
Of her help will be the greatest diplo-
matte success or blunder Of the cen.
tury.

WASHINGTON. August la.-The allied

that cotton is contraband OF war. The
exact date when this announcement
shall be made is still under considera-
ton rs we'll ms other details connected
with the public statement. This state

British embassy.

The American government several

authoritatively, of the intention of the
allied governments to make cotton con-
irahand and was informed that they
Will claim Il legal right for their action.
II was explained here to-day that
the allies refrained from making cot
ton contraband at the outset of the war
because of conditions in the United
States, where II large crop had been
planted and contraband order then
would. in their opinion. have been far
more serious.
Now, the allies contend. the cotton

countries acknowledge. may he affected
by the change. and for that reason it
has been decided TO stand behind the
market TO minimize embarrassment to
and avoid a permanent decrease in
American cotton paintings. which
would he reflected in the industries
of the allied countries
The principal reason for declaring
cotton contraband is that ii is one of
the principal sources of smokeless
powder. How the allies propose TO
support the cotton market is not en-
planned here.
