Premier May Have Been Forced to Such Action to

Recent Visit of NJ. Rad0siuyOff to Ger man Capital, to Obtain Concessions For His Government, Believed
 FraugM With Possibilities.

Copenhagen, June 27.--Although Bulgaria is opposed to breaking off relations with the United States, the fear is expressed, according to infor- nation here, that Premier Radoslav- off may have been compelled to pur- chase concessions, for which he went to Berlin, by a sacrifice of American relations as pa-s payment. The m fluences against a break with the limited States are of . twin nature. one-half of a. sentimental character, hased on Influence oftsthe Americana Roberts college education upon many prominent men of old and new Bui- earia. and. upon tue respect for the far away republic with no axe to grind in Bulgaria; ope-half: wholly practical. inspired by the belief that capital from the same republic may after the, war prove highly advan- tageous to the development of Fpl- Es1'h'ss W!ssloqt risking eeonotntGr rlles \

  would lead to native Bulgarian senti- ment for rupture with the United States would be. according to in- formation received by the Associated Press correspondent. the appearance of American troops at Sal0nlKl-a possibility which some influence m Bulgaria apparently has some interest in pointing out to the Bulgarian mind. Bulgaria having got in possession or all advantages which are included in the present stage of it's ambitions, Macedonia and Dobrudja. and find ing the burden of running even a minor share of the world war grow ing menace to its Financial future, isN a strong advocate of the peace move- ment.
 Bulgarians apparently are firmly loyal to their Teutonic allies for the period of the war. They say they are open to no overtures to abandon them during the struggle, though willing to use their influence against move ments for a sC-called Hindenburg or German peace. There is. however. considerable surface grumbling agaln9t the GcfmdnS DdSeu UH liie De- lief that the kaiser's government IS exploiting them unfairly in buying up the country's products which are needed at home. denying them com persatory articles such as salt and manufactures which they urgently need, driving harder bargain for financial subsidies than with the Turks and taking too much military glory.
 Bulgaria, it is firmly declared, will furnish no troops for the general prosecution of the war on fronts other than Bulgarian.

RUSSIAN COUNCIL FINALLY DECIDES 10 BATTLE 10 END Council Soldiers and Work mems Delegates Adopts
 Strong Resolution. SEPARATE PEACE
 IS DANGEROUS Congress "CategoricaIly Rejects Every Policy Tending in Conclusion of Separate Peace or Separate
 Armisticc."

Petrograd, June 27.-A resolution categorically rejecting any move for a separate peace between Germany and Russia has been adopted by an overwhelming majority of congress of WoTkelnen s and Soldiers deputies of all Russia. The resolution at the same time declares that the rcstora- tion of peace at the earliest possible day is the most important need of the Russian revolutionary democracy. The text of the resolution, which was pro- posed by revolutionary Socialists and the minimalist Establishments fol- lows:
 The Resolution.
 "The present war arose in conse- quence of aspirations of imperalists prevailing among the ruling classse of all countries and tending towards the usurpation of markets and sub- mission to their economic and politi- cal influence of small and decadent na- tions. The war is leading to com plete exhaustion of the people of all countries, and is placing the Russian revolution on the edge of precipice. While making millions of victims and absorbing billions of the wealth of the century, it threatents to increase still more the disorder in which Rus sia was. left by the, old regime, lead- ing to famine and turning the country f,nln ,prod,,ctivA labor for 2 consolida- tioli O. Is e,i5. al ii,ls -y s5 ss < s
 "The congress recognizes conse- quently that the struggle for more rapid ending of the war constitutes the most important problem for the revo- lutionary democracy-a problem lm- posed as much by the interests of the revolution as by the aspirations of the workers of all countries to put an end to mutual extermination and restore their fraternal union for the common struggle for complete liberation of humanity.
 Separate Peace RuinOus.
 "The congress recognizes first that ending the war by means of the defeat of one of the belligerents would constitute the point of departure for fresh wars, increase dissension among the nations, and lead them to complete exhaustion, famine and ruin; second, that separate peace would strength en one of the belligerents and give it the possibility of gaining a decisive victory over the others. would streng- then aspirations toward usurpation by the ruling classes, and while liberat- ing Russia from the grip of world wide imperialism, would hinder inter- national unification of workers. Con- sequently, the congress categorically rejects every policy tending in fact to the conclusion of a separate peace or to it's prelude, a separate armistice." /"
 The Workmen's and Soldiers depu ties will send a delegation to Sweden, France and England to prepare for the convocation of an international con- ference on the basis of the program adopted.

KEEPS
 UP ACTIVITY ON
 FRONT IN'fRANCf
Canadians Capture '.A Another Trench, But Meet With
 Partial Repulse.
Associated Press Summary)

Again the operations on the west ern front in France are being carried out mainly by the artillery wings of the belligerents. The infantry activ- ity is by patrol parties, with only small bits of territory attacked.
 In one of these, the Canadians have occupied another trench astride the Lens-Arras road, but in attempting to bite further into the Lens sector they were repulsed. according to the Ger man war office.
 Reciprocal bombardment of consid- erable intensity continue to prevail along the Aisne front and in the Champagne. There also has been a renewal of big gun fire in the Avo- court sector, northwest of Verdun:
 In the Asiago plateau zone of the Austro-Italian theatre, the Austrian artillery has shattered positions taken recently by the Italians and reoccu- pied them, on Monte Artigara. The Austrians assert they captured more than 1900 prisoners. Rome, admitting the withdrawal, said the destroyed po- sitions afforded no shelter to the 1tal- ians from the murderous fire of the Austrian artillery.
 Lively fighting continues between the Russians and Austro- Germans on the eastern front, particularly in Ga licia, south of the Tarnapol railway, and along the Narayuvka river.
 Operations on the Macedonia front are of minor importance and nothing is to be gleaned from official reports to indicate a general engagement is brewing. There have been some smart skirmishes and an attack by the enemy and preceded by violent lombard ment of French positions, which was repulsed.

ENORMOUS TASK
 IS SUCCESSFUL

Washington, June Z7.-Ih0 advance guard of the mighty army which the United States is preparing to send against Germany is on French soil.
 In defiance of the German subma- rines, thousands of seasoned regulars and marines, trained fighting men. with the tan of long service on the Mexican border, or in Hayti Or Santo Domingo, still on their faces. have been hastened overseas to fight be- sides the French, the British, the Bel gians. the Russians, the Portuguese and the Italian troops, on the western front.
 News of the safe arrival of the transport sent new thrill thru Wash ington today. No formal announce ment came from the war department, but when Major-General Pershing's official report has been received, there may be statement as to the number and composition of the advance guard.
 Press dispatches from France show that Major General Sibert, one of the new major generals of the army, con- mands the first force sent abroad un- der General Pershing as commander chief of the expedition.
 America Makes Record One thing stands out sharply, de- spite the fact that the size of the task accomplished is not yet fully revealed. This is that American enterprise has set new record for transportation of troops. Considering the distance to be covered, and the fact that all prep arations had to be made after orders came from the white house the night of May IS, it is practically certain that never before has military ex- petition of this size been assembled, conveyed and landed without 8 mis- hap, in so short a time. It is good augury of future achievements. The American force will be . net gain to the allies. It will throw no extra burden of supply or equipment upon them. It will be fed, clothed, armed and equipped by the United States.
 Despite the enormous difficulty of unpreparedness and submarine dang CTS, the plans of the general staff have gone thru with clock-like precision.
 When the order came to, prepare ina- mediately a force to go to France, virtually all the men were on the Mex ican border. General PershinR himself was at his headquarters at San An- tonic. There were no army transports available on the Atlantic. Army re- serve stores were still depleted, from the border mobilization. The regi- ments were below war strength. That was the condition when President Will son decided that tho plea of the French high commissioners should be answered.
 Newspapers Show Patriotism. l At his word the war department be- gan to move. General Pershing was quietly summoned to Washington. At the request of Secretary Baker the newspapers ,refrained from discussion over his arrival.
