OF all the gossip that buzzes from the Balkans
none is startling than the rumors of sep
arate peace between Bulgaria and the Allies. That
Car Ferdinand would make overtures of the kind
or that the Entente Powers would entertain them
seems at this juncture of affairs incredible Yet,
several dispatches from Athens and other observa-
ton of the Near East speak of definite ne
gotiations having been opened for change of pol
icy on Bulgarias part" change that will incline
her to the side OF the Central Empires foes.
There are no apparent circumstances that would
constran Bulgaria to such a course. Thus far she
has been singularly fortunate in her military adj
ventures. Unopposed by Rumania or Greece, and
supported by strong Teuton forces she has carried
out her designs upon Serbia, and has conquered
the territory she coveted. True, the accession of
either Greece Rumania to the Allies cause would
imperil Bulgarias position. but there is no imme-
date prospect of such an event e 1870
Furthermore. the Entente alliance cannot
promise Bulgaria any compensations or indulgences
for her neutrality or her active support,
Serbias sovereignty and territory must be restored,
lust as Belgiums must be restored, if the Entente
fulfIls its obligations There can be reconcilia
ton, in this war at least, between the rights of
Serbia and the ambitions of Bulgaria The only
terms which the Entente could afford to consider
in this connection would be terms of surrender
So the situation appears on the surface. 1t is
conceivable, however, that Bulgaria, doubling the
sincerity or the ultimate ability of the Central
Empires to make good their pledges to her,
siders it the part of wisdom to seek some under
standing with the Allies while she may do so to the
best advantage. There have been divers hints,
moreover that relationships between Bulgaria and
Turkey are threateningly tense. The interests and
ambitions of these two States are naturally and
fundamentally opposed. Soon or late, Germany
will find it impossible to keep them reconciled; it
may be that already she has found it impossible to
do
1t is noteworthy, too, that Bulgaria's course
since the beginning of the has been steered
tirely by purpose of bold self-interest For this,
she is not to be censured. She has been merely
adventurer among adventures. She would have
no hesitancy in abandoning her Teuton alliance. if
she felt she could do safely and to her advantage
These considerations may tone down the SEEM
ing impossibility of the latest peace rumors, but
they do not make the rumors at all probable.

The Action of the State Committee.

The State Democratic Executive Committee
xhich met in Atlanta Saturday TO arrange for the
selection of Georgia delegates to the National
Democratic Convention at st. Louis dispatched its
business with manifest wisdom and justice Realiz-
ing from the present outlook that there is prob
ability of more than name being presented
for the Democratic nomination to the Presidency.
the Committee provided for the selection of dele
gates to St Louis through a State convention to
be held at Macon May the third II more than
one Democratic candidate for the Presidential NOM
inaton should develop within the next thirty days,
the Committee will order a State primary. Such a
contingency is so remote however. indeed, so in
conceivable that the convention plan undoubtedly
viii obtain; and inasmuch as the Democratic senti-
ment and judgment of Georgia is a unit for Presi-
dent Wilson'S nomination. there is no occasion
whatsoever for the pains and expense of a special
primary.
The method of choosing delegates TO the State
convention to be held May the third is properly
eft 20 the Democratic executive committees in the
individual counties AS a matter of course. the
Democrats in each county will see TO it that only
true Democrats are named delegates to the State
convention Political traitors and mongrels are en-
titled to no voice and will have no voice In the
selection of delegates to St Louis in any other
counsels and acts Of Georgia Democracy From
this time forward the Democratic party in Georgia
is poing 10 be Democratic in procedure as well as
in name and principle. The scalawags who have
been accustomed to sneak into Democratic prima-
ries merely to desert the party in ensuing elections
have played their last trick of this kind. Hence
forth they will be treated the political enemies
they really are.
The meeting of the Committee was mark
"a throughout by a spirit OF harmonious
loyalty Especially significant and gratifying was
its resolution Endorsing the National Democratic
Administration and commencing the splendid
craftsmanship and leadership of President Wilson
There has never been the shadow of doubt as to
where Georgia Democracy stands regarding the VIII
son Administration and the choice of the party's
next Presidential nominee. But the earnest procla
nation by the Committee emphasizes anew the con-
adence and esteem in which the States Democracy
holds the party's national leader.

Both for military and moral effects the cap

Turks chief stronghold in the Caucasus and a
