WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Bulgaria
Is frightened at the handwriting she
sees on the wall and hence is con-
Quoting a separate peace propaganda
through her envoy here, according to
Greek Minister Rossos Georges, to-
day.
In an interview with the United
Press he expressed the opinion that
Bulgaria is already making plans
for eventualities that will come with
a crushing German defeat. Georges
openly charged that the Bulgarian
envoy in Washington, at the insti ga
ton of his government, is trying to
influence peace opinion in the Unit
ed States though the Bulgar claims
to have no communication with his
governm ent.
The Greek stated that the answer
to Bulgarian peace talk will come in
due time, while confidential advices
Indicate that the allied armies
around Salonika will probably be
ready for a blow against the Austro-
German Bulgarian forces some time
in April
The allied conference in Paris will
settle the question Of the date when
the advance against Bulgaria shall
occur. Meantime French officers are
reorganizing the Greek army and are
paving the way for a smash which
shall cut the in-Constantinople
railroad. Such a maneuver would cut
Turkey from Mitteleuropa-the kais-
er's not-to-be empire.
The Greek minister said Bulgaria
entered the war in sympathy with
the German idea of world conquest
and because of heavy German loan.
Allied diplomats are frankly displeas-
ed at the Bulgar's peace propaganda
and still wonder why the state de-
partment permits him to remain
here. Government officials explain,
however, that he will be useful as a
means of communication when peace
talk becomes reality.
