Paris, Oct, IA dispatch from Sofia
states that Former Foreign Minister
Ghenadoff, of Bulgaria has been SEN
fenced to imprisonment for ten years at
hard labor following conviction on
charges of being implicated in a system
of graft which involved the huge sum of
four million dollars.
The former minister also was charged
with high treason growing out Of a ju-
dicial investigation into the conduct of
the foreign office. 1t was alleged that
he sold out to Austria in his diplomatic
missions abroad.
His arrest on this charge was demand

ment. Because atsthe time Bulgaria was
under military control the case was re-
ferred to army court.
Following his conviction on the graft
charge, the charge OF high treason was
dropped and will not be prosecuted.

London, Aug. 27.-By lifting the
veil Of secrecy to an extent hitherto
unheard of in the present war and al
lowing the British public to get a
clearer view of what is going on at
the front the war office has made
tremendously popular move. This re-
volution in departmental methods
started with the Anglo-French Of

been magical.
The British public is now being fed
generously On what it was deprived Of
for nearly two years, namely personal
doings of the soldiers, And they like
it. Incidentally, added Importance is
attached to IL order of things
simply because tic British govern
ment is not easily convinced of the
wisdom of departing from old customs.
It's about the most revolutionary oc-
currence since the war began.
To begin with the public realizes
that there is still much that must be
hidden from them but they are very
grateful for the concessions made
The people realize further that this
