HAS ATTAINED OBJECT
Bulgaria Is Ready to Quit War,
Asserts Envoy.
HAS Captured Territory Which by
Right Belongs to Her" Says
Panareto.

Washington, Sept. 29-Kaiser VIII
helms dream of a Mittel Europa is
something that Bulgaria is not the
least interested In.
In an interview, Stephen Panareto,
Bulgarian minister to the United
States, said his country had attained
the sole ends for which IL 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 a 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 1875" said Panareto
frankly. "She had no particular love
for the Central Powers-in fact, a 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 national boundaries 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 Copstan-
tinople.
"Germany'h offer was unqualified.
Dobrudja and Macedonia were to be
restored. We Joined the Central Pow

new PERIL FOR RUSSIA
Civil War May Result From Clash
of Factions.
Democratic Conference Held at Petro
grad to Obtain National Sanction
for kerensky Government.

Washington, Sept. 29.-It is believed
here that the United States Will sup
port the Kerensky democracy as op.
posed to all counter revolutionary
movements, whatever the result of the
democratic conference in Petrograd,
scheduled to open there and upon
which Premier Kerensky Is depending
for a national sanction for his gov.
ernment.
The Russian government, through
semiofficial advices, has permitted to
become known that civil war may re-
suit from the contest now going on be-
tween the maximalsts, or bolsheviki,
followers of the international social
lists Lenine, and the provisional gov
ernment. Should radicals control the
conference, 1t has been authoritatively
stated here, Premier Kerensky and
his supporters will resist, believing
they represent true Russia
kerensky Upheld.
Kerensky is upheld by democratic
elements of the bourgeoisie, represent
ed by such men as Nekrasov and
Terentschenko, the latter being for.
eign minister, and by minimalist so
cialists, such as Tseretelli and Avk.
sentiev. Kerensky himself belongs to
this category of socialists, being a
member of the labor party.
In diplomatic circles fear is express.
ed that should the maximalists obtain
control OF Russia, they would imme-
diately create great embarrassment
for Entente Powers, as they desire an
immediate general peace and are op.
posed to annexations and indemnities
It is considered by diplomats civil war
In Russia would be preferable to a
bolsheviki government

More Than $50 Leaders Found
Engaged in Nationwide
Plots.
WEIGHS TON
Documents Seized In Raids, Revealing
Plans to Embarrass U. s. In
Prosecution of War, Acted on
BY v. s. Grand Jury.

Washington, Sept. 29.-More than
$50 indictments have been found by
the federal grand jury In Chicago in
vestigating I. w. w. activities on evil
dence secured In the recent federal
raids.
The indictments have been drawn
and voted upon. Ii ts understood,
and all that remains Is to report them
to the court, which may be done at
any time.
The evidence upon which the grand
jury has acted is said to have shown
conspiracies and plots to hamper the
government in its war activities and
to show connection with German
sources.
Nationwide Conspiracy.
The evidence laid before the grana
jury was of such volume as actually to
show a nationwide conspiracy to ham
per the government in almost every
conceivable way, with ramifcations
into almost every state.
II concerned antidraft demonstra-
tions, Gripping of war industries by
so-called strikes. burning of wheat
fields. burning of timber which the
government was planning to use for
airplane construction and a continu-
Gus anti-Ally and anti-war propaganda.
There was evidence that German
money was plentifully supplied as
shown in many letters and cancelled
checks. Indications pointed to group
of men as prime movers In the great
conspiracy with a large number OF
agents acting under their orders.
Evidence Secured BY Raids.
The nationwide raid conducted upon
local |. w. w. headquarters in many
cities by agents of the department of
justice on Sept. disclosed the evil
dence upon which the government pro-
ceeded to act.
One feature which the investigation
brought out sharply was the large,
almost predominating. membership of
Austrians in the ranks OF the |. w.
w. local organizations, and also the
large membership of the various races
which comprise Austria.Hungary.
Thousands OF these men, unrestrained
because the United States is not at
war with Austria. federal investigat.
ors have found. have been free TO
carry on whatever activities were
planned.
Offense Next to Treason.
1t is understood that the indictments
have been found under the section OF
the criminal code defining, "offenses
against the existence OF government
The offense charged is regarded hy
officials as next in gravity to treason
itself and is defined In the criminal
code Immediately after the definition
OF treason and the punishment thereof
The penalty is fine OF not more than
$4,000 or Imprisonment for not more
than six years. or both.
