Ready To Sacrifice Interest Of
Allies When Time Arrives

COPENHAGEN, October 90 Asso,
ciated Press) Agents Of the Bulgarian
government have reached here and eff
forts are being made to open up Off
eial connections with agents of the
Entente for discussion of possible
terms Of separate peace for Bulgaria
and for subsequent friendly relations
between the Bulgars and the races
with which they are now engaged in
war. t r... u. .aa
1t has been learned that Bulgaria
has become convinced that Germany
will sacrifice Bulgarian interestes to Sc
cure German advantages when the
time comes for general peace con
ference, at which time the spokespen
for Germany will more or less dictate
the terms for the Central Powers,
Fearing this, Bulgaria is about ready
to make such terms for herself in
a separate peace as are obtainable.
Bulgaria desires to maintain her in
dependent political status at the con
clusion Of the war and to resume her
cordial relations with the nations of
the Entente. At Sofia il is suspected
that the plans, of Germany include the
formation of an economic league, in
which Bulgaria will be forced to
merge her interests and become an I'M
willing partner in the further carrying
out Of Pan.German schemes

cd Press) -One lump OF sugar to n
quest was the limit that some of the
restaurants of this city attempted to
set yesterday in order to conserve the
limited sugar supply as the grip of the

United quantities In any single order.
No relief is in sight until supplies can
be brought from the west for beet sugar
making started only recently in the
northwest and the Louisiana crop can
not be expected in quantities for

iugar is small considerably less than
10000 tons, 1t is estimated, and Cuban
Erowers are demanding a cent pound

srol schedule. In the West, however,
there is cane sugar and beet sugar IL
Il could be brought through to the At
