Thrace May Prove Issue
That Will Put Bulgaria
on Side of the Allies

PARIS, November 27.-Newspapers of
Bulgaria, says the correspondent at
Saloniki of the Petit Parisien. are declar-
ing that the Bulgarian army, having con-
quered Serbian Macedonia, Bulgaria
should be satisfied with its triumph, and,
seeing that Thrace is being retained by
the Turks. should not further the fears
Of the Serbians
In fact. the correspondent quotes the
Bulgarian newspapers as saying there are
now seven Turkish divisions at Sufii,
northeast Of Dedegahatch one division
at Mustapha Pacha, one division at
Wanna and one each at BurgaS and Con-
stantinople
The Bulgarian newspapers. the cor
respondent says. are strongly insistin &
that the question of Thrace has not
been definitely settled and that with
Germanys support Turkey in Europe
should be replaced within the limits in
which she was confined in 1911. The
correspondent adds:
IF the misunderstanding on this sub
ject continues and in view of the recent
speech made by Premier Rados1avoff of
Bulgaria, in which he declared that
Thrace should be Bulgarian, the proph-
ecy of ex-Premier Venizelos of Greece
may yet be realized and the Bulgarians
in the end may be found fighting on
the side of those they formerly at
tackled"

This apparent increase of SS7,1s4.-

fer from the liabilities 20 the assets
side of the ledger of the disbursing Of

which have always been recognized as
liabilities by the government, and by
the inclusion of subsidiary silver coin
minor coins and silver bullion, none of
which had ever been reckoned' as avail
able for the payment of government ex-
penses.
Senator Smoot further declared that
when the present administration took
over the Treasury in March, 1913. there
was a net general balance of $I49335,-

tinued. that balance had been dimln-

Inmates, Senator Smoot said:
Il am of the opinion that the esti-
mates of revenue contained in Mr.. Nc
Adoo's latest statement are excessive
and that his estimate of disbursements
is too small. This certainly is the case
with the revenue of s15.0O0,O00 expected
of sugar for the months of May and

for the fiscal year 1916 will be nearer

to accept no more freight for export until

More than 5000 loaded cars from

-four, copper and hundreds of other
commodities, have virtually turned the
terminals and sidings of the road into
a storage warehouse weeks. Some
of the cars have been held here for
eighty days.
Other Roads Are Glutted.
Inquiry at other railroad offices de-
veloped that nearly every road termi-
mating here is glutted with freight cars
standing loaded and idle on sidings
for hundreds of miles back along the
line, and that other roads would fol-
low the Lackawannas lead shortly.
For months New York. mouth of the

bulk of Americas export trade, has
been clogged with freight in excess OF
the facilities of the steamship COM

The temporary check to the incoming

of enabling the steamship companies to
catch up in part with the traffic and to
permit the railroads to clear their ter

ties.
Due to the accumulation of lighter

Most of the Lackawanna S congestion

before sending their freight to New

ments had been made shipments Went

Thousands of cars, however, have
simply been turned over to the railroad

sacked it.
