No Other Place Would Do.

4 dentist, who had been made nerv-
Gus by frequent burglaries in his
vicinity. was somewhat startled recent
~ by having Il man come regularly at
the same hour every evening and sit
on his doorstep. He finally suggested
that, if it would be all the same to

divide his attention and sit on some

BULGARIA WILLING
TO DESERT POWERS
ANXIOUS TO RETAIN TERRITORY
CONQUERED BY GERMANY's
AID, HOWEVER.
NEW TRICK OF FERDINAND
Entente Nations WIN Move Cautiously
In All Dealings With Bulgarian
RuIer--May Be Plan To
pupe Allies.

New York.--At the present time
there are appearing in many places
and in nearly all the allied countries
suggestions and hints that skillful
diplomatic policy could now separate
Bulgaria from the central powers, with
obvious profit to the nations allied
against Germany.
Such a propaganda unquestionably
has its origin, in part, among those
who are themselves loyal to the allied
cause and sympathetic with Bulgaria
because of real admiration for her
people. Nevertheless, such prOpa-
ganda should not be permitted to
make converts or gain credence with
out a frank and fair statement Of the
actual situation.
1T is impossible, and all allied coun-
tries and governments should recog-
nize that 1t is permanently impossible,
to deal with Bulgaria ruled by Ferd-
fnand In the autumn of 1915 the al
lies had what should be a lasting les
son so far as Ferdinand's Bulgaria is
concerned Servia was sacrificed and
the Balkans lost because precisely the
same influences which are now APP
pealing on behalf of Bulgaria were
listened to in London, Paris and Pc
trograd.
In the spring ana summer Of 1915
Ferdinand cleverly played with French
and British diplomacy, successfully es-
tablishing the idea in the minds of the
allied negotiators that he was not only
neutral, but prepared to take their
side. He kept up this game until
Mackensens army was ready to start
through Servia, and then he threw off
his mask, modified and struck down
Servia
Now, when conditions in the Bal.
kans and everywehere else in Europe
are unfavorable to the Germans. Fer
dinand is quite prepared to play new
diplomatic game with those whom he
deceived and tricked two years ago.

MONROE DOCTRINE IN ORIENT
Viscount Ishii Says That Door To Le'
Ultimate Trading Will Not Be
Closed In Orient.

New York-Proclaiming Monroe
doctrine of the far east, Viscount
Ishii, head of the Japanese mission to
the United States, warned the nations
Of the world that his country will not
tolerate aggressions against the terri
tory or independence of China. At
the same time he pledged Japan not to
attempt similar aggressions on her
part.
Speaking at formal dinner in hon
or OF the imperial ENJOYS visit to New
York, the ambassador of Emperor Yo-
shihito outlined publicly for the first
time since he set foot on American
soil the policy of his government as it
relates to China.
While he boldly warned the world
against any attempt to invade the
rights of the republic of the far east,
Viscount Ishii promised with equal
earnestness that the door to legiti-
mate trade in China never would be
closed by Japan.

Nent of surtaxes on incomes between
$4,000 and $4,000. The graduated
surtaxes of from one to so per cent on
incomes from $1,000 to those of a mil
lion and over were approved.
The senate increase of from two to
four per cent of the income tax on COR
