were severely lectured by the court

Bulg aria Seeks
to Reach Entente
on Peace Terms

COPENHAGEN. oct. 20.-While
Emperor william and King Ferd-
inand Of Bulgaria have been ex-
changing assure noes at Sofia on the
unshakeable loyalty OF Bulgaria and
Germany 10 each other and OF the
permanent nature OF the alliance OF
the two countries. Bulgarian agents
abroad have been cndeavoring 20 get
into touch with the entente powers
on the subject Of peace and subse-
quent relations. Their efforts are de
clared 20 be inspired by apprehen-
sion that Germany and Austria-Hun-
gary. particularly the latter, may not
be over-zealous in defending Bull
garia's interests at the peace con
ference as well as by a desire on
Bulgaria's part TO escape from re-
volving I'm an exclusively German
orbit after the war
The Associated Press correspon-
dent is able 20 report that Bull
garian representative recently sought
and obtained an opportunity in
neutral European capital 10 lay be
fore the entente governments the
special desires of his country with
regard 10 a peace settlement. and in
a one sided conversation explained
Bulgarian aspirations 70 regain an
Independent political status as soon
as the war was concluded and re-
sumo cordial relations with the en-
tente powers. As the case was pre-
sented in short, the central Europe
idea OF an economic league in which
Bulgaria would play a comparative
ly minor role does not appeal to the
Bulgarian mind
Attempts are also being made TO
get before the public in America and
in the entente countries a defense OF
Bulgarian pretensions TO Macedonia
and the Dobrudja, the suggestion
even being openly made from the
Bulgarian side that Serbia should be
compensated with Austrian territory
from Bosnia and Herzegovina, a sug-
gestion which is pointed to as illus
trative OF the attitude of many Bull
garians toward their own allies.
Troops are Mistreated.
The correspondent has of late
heard Of considerable ill-feeling be-
tween the Bulgarians and their al
lies. Complaints are being made that
Bulgarian divisions were compelled
to march long distances on foot
while favored German troops rolled
past them in trains. this favoritism
exciting particular bitterness on the
part Of a select Bulgarian division
from the capital.
The German attempt 70 obtain
control Of Bulgaria's single coal field
has excited much unfriendly COM
ment also in Bulgaria, and Field
Marshal Won Mackensen is charged.
with favoring the Roumanians at
Bulgarian expense. Furthermore the
press controversy in certain German
and Austrian newspapers in which
the Serbian claims 10 parts OF Mac
edonia were defended apparently
has left an indelible impression of
distrust' on Bulgarian public opin-
ion, an impression which the public
declarations of German ministers
and the interchanges of cordial tele-
grams between German and Bull
garian statesmen seem TO have been
unable 10 efface. II remains to be
seen whether Emperor Williams
trip. declared 70 have been under
| taken with this purpose in view
will prove any more successful.

SINNER GIVES VERSION
OF MEDICAL MEETING
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE)

ciety imm ediately brought up the
question of the price TO be charged
for vaccination, making the state
ment that in a previous smallpox
epidemic the prices had gone 70 the
ridiculous sum Of IS cents. II seem
ed to be generally agreed that no
charge should be above So out was
TO be left TO the discretion Of the
individual doctor in each case as TO
whether the fee was to he any less
than that ! told them that if they
followed my advice and instituted
compulsory vaccination there would
be many persons who would not be
able TO pay this reasonable fee and
that some provision must be made
by the medical society for doing
charity work.
No Volunteers.
There was not d single man who
volunteered TO assist the health Of
ficer in this work. II was then that
/ told the medical society that they
as citizens Of South Bend and as
physicians were 10 some degree at
least, responsible for the present
epidemic. Ny persona investiga-
ton OF many cases revealed the fact
that none OF the people taking care
OF the sick had been instructed how
70 take care OF the bodys dis
charges so as 10 prevent other cases.
and in only one instance had the
doctor suggested typhoid vaccina-
ton for the well mem bers Of the
family. The health officer then got
up and excused the physicians by
saying Perhaps the members Of
the medical society had not kept up
on the prevention OF typhoid be-
cause they had felt so sure that ty-
phoid could not become epidemic IN
South Bend Yet. at the same
time the health officer was speaking,
typhoid had been epidemic in South
Bend for more than a year.
Il have talked this matter over
with Mt. Diggs, who was present at
this meeting, and ne agrees with me
that this was what was said and
done at that time. ! do not doubt
but that the m embers OF the society
will disagree with me in detail but
in a general way this is substantially
what was said and done
Yours very truly,
