Minister Panareto Says Dobrudjas
Macedonia and Serbia objectlves
Are Captured.

Washington, Sept. 28.-Bulgaria ID
not interested in Kaiser Wilhelm's
dream of Mittel Europa empire.
In an interview, Stephen Panareto,
Bulgarian minister to the United
States, said his country had attained
the sole ends for which it entered the
war and is ready TO quit, providing
she can keep the territory which by
language, nationality and historic
right belongs to her."
Bulgaria, he said, would have pre-
ferred to have fought with the Allies,
but Germany made more acceptable
business proposition.
Bulgaria entered with one object, to
regain Dobrudja, Macedonia and parts
of Serbia which were unjustly taken
from her during the Balkan war and in
the treaty of 1S7S," said Panareto
frankly. "She had no particular love
for the Central Powers-in fact, few
years before, had been at war with
Turkey. AS the price of entering she
asked restoration of former territory,
which by President Wilson's statement
of 'nationaPpoundaries,' rightfully be-
longs to her.
Bulgaria preferred to join the AL
lies, but they offered restoration pro-
viding Serbia would consent to take
in exchange other territory-presum-
ably wrested from Austria Hungary or
Turkey. Our prime minister even told
the Allies that within "a hours Of the
acceptance of Bulgaria's terms our
army would be marched on to Constan-
tinople.
"Germany's offer was unqualified.
Dobrudja and Macedonia were to be
restored. We joined the Central Pow
