RICHMOND GETS QUOTA

Wayne county's quota of S2,400. 900
is still long way from being reached,
the estimate at noon today showing
the shortage to be approximately $780,
900. While Richmond announced its
quota reached Saturday night, and
while two or three other townships
are over the Line, the county as a
whole is the one and only unit that
can receive official recognition with
the government. Official bank figures
on Saturday night showed that Perry,
New Garden and Jackson townships
were the only three that had reached
their quotas. Subscription blanks
that reached the banks in all parts of
the county late Saturday, Sunday and
today, but which have not been off,
cially reported, show that Boston. Har-
townships, also have reached their
quotas. 1t is possible that one OF
these will be few thousand dollars
behind tonight when official returns
are in, but the deficit will be cared
for before tomorrow night.
The state committee, as stated else
where, has cautioned Wayne county
citizens to forget for the moment all
township and city lines. The quotas
OF these amount to nothing il the
county as an entirety does not reach
the goal. The state committee is dis
appointed that Wayne county, always
among the first six to report lover" is
not yet counted there this time. The
county organization expects heavy vol
unteer subscriptions at all banks in
the county, particularly in Richmond,
today and tomorrow. In no other way
members of the committee say can the
goal be reached.
The fact that township or the city
has subscribed it's quota does not
mean that a citizen who has not sub
scribed is excused from doing his part,
and according to those in charge of the
campaign the list of non-subscribers
is to be thoroughly canvassed.
Railroad Men Subscribe.
Sunday was a profitable day for the
Liberty loan campaign in Wayne coun-
ty. In practically every township COM
mittees kept at their work with good
results, and ninety Richmond business
men went into the out-townships on
invitations of chairmen in five town
ships and did valient service These
volunteer parties of Richmond not
only did excellent work during the
day, but they also stimulated new in
terest in two townships where the
work was far behind schedule.
Railroad employees are subscribing
for Liberty loan bonds in liberal sums,
and all subscriptions from railroad
men in Richmond and other towns
will go to the credit of Wayne county
Superintendent Stimson of the Penn
sylvania said today that the campaign
among the employees was we'll under
way and that large sum would go to
the county's credit. During the last
Liberty loan campaign the railroad
subscriptions in the county amounted
to $4,000. The railroad employees are
trying to make even a higher record
this time.

A still greater territorial expansion
at the expense of Serbia was said to
have been offered as a condition OF
active military assistance.
During the period of Bulgarian neu-
trality both the entente alliance and
the central powers had made offers
to Bulgaria; and Russia, who for
years had protected Bulgarian inter
ests, sent an ultimatum to Bulgaria
early In OCTOBER, 1915. Bulgaria re-
fused the Russian demands.

was reported at that time and never

treaty had been signed between Bull
garia and Germany concerning Bulga-
rian participation in the war on July
II, 1915.
Bulgarian troops invaded Serbia,
October 13, 1915. Her entrance into
the war led to the overrunning of Ser
bia, Montenegro and Albania. by the
armies of the central powers. Bulga-
ria's joining the central powers was
one Of the reasons that led Rumania
to enter the war on the side of the
entente late in August, 1916.
The population of Bulgaria was not
unanimously in favor of Bulgaria
joining the Teutonic alliance The
government took harsh measures
against those opposed to the war and
those who were friendly to the en-
tente. Late in 1917 reports were cur
rent that the military party in Bull
garia was being forced by increasing
opposition.
Before the allied troops can take
over the occupation of Bulgaria 1t is
not unlikely that the Bulgarian mill
tary party and Germany and Austria
will make determined efforts to keep
Bulgaria in the Teutonic alliance, be-
cause the secession of Bulgaria would
mean the collapse OF German aims in
Turkey and the near east. the prob

SMASHES GERMAN DREAM.
LONDON, Sept 30.-Speaking at the
Guild Hall today Andrew Bonar Law,
the chancellor of the exchequer, said
a Bulgarian convention had been
signed by which hostilities ended to-
day at noon.
Bulgaria, by the terms fixed, gives
up completely the control of the rail-
ways, the chancellor stated.
This convention means" said the
chancellor, that communications be.
tween Germany and tine east in that
direction has been cut OF and that
the Germans dream of a German mid
die eastern empire has gone forever"
Control of the Bulgarian railways,
the chancellor pointed out, gives con-
troll of Bulgaria. Alluding to the Pal
estine campaign Mr.. Bonar Law said:
1.-The magnificent success of our
armies in Palestine has resulted in
the extinction of the greater part of
the Turkish army, but something
more is going to follow"
PARDoNs POLITICAL PRISONERS
AMSTERDAM, Sept. 30.--King Fer
dinand of Bulgaria, at the suggestion
of the cabinet, has issued an ukase
pardoning NJ Stambouliwsky, leader
of the Bulgarian agrarian party. and
former minister Chenadieff, leader of
the Stambeoff1st party, says dispatch
from Sofia. All their political friends
who were sent to prison with the
leaders, when Bulgaria entered the
war, also have been pardoned. The
ukase restores all civil and political
right and particularly the mandates of
those whe were deputies in the Bull
garian parliament.
In October, 1915, NJ. Stambuliwsky
was sentenced to Imprisonment for
life after conviction on a charge of
anti-militarism.

King Ferdinand Of Bulgaria has tel
tria, assuring him of his loyalty to the
Neue Freie Presse, which is quoted in

In War Three Years.
Bulgarian representatives agreed to
an armistice-probably the first step
in Bulgaria's withdrawal from the al
lance with the central powers-a few
days less than three years after she
entered the war on the side of Ger
many. 1t was on Oct. 8, 1915, that
Bulgaria issued manifesto announc-
ing her decision to cast her lot against
the entente alliance. She had been
fifteen months in deciding her course.
In the manifesto issued at the time
of her entrance into the ranks OF the
belligerents. the Bulgarian govern
ment declared that her trade inter
ests and economic rights "were insep-
arably bound up with Turkey, Ger
many and Austria" It was added that
Germany had offered Bulgaria in re-
