Bulgaria's collapse is the first crack
in the Teutonic military structure.
The terms she has accepted amount
to complete military surrender. Bull
garia agrees to evacuate all the terri
tory she now occupies in Greece and
Serbia, to demobilize her army imme-
diasely and surrender all means of
transport to the allies. She also will
surrender her boats and control OF
navigation on the Danube, and con-
cede to the allies free passage through
Bulgaria for the development of mill
tary operations. All Bulgarian arms
and ammunition are to be stored
under The control of the allies, to
whom is conceded the right to occupy
all important strategic points. The
elimination of Bulgaria as a COM
blatant means the isolation of Turkey,
now hard pressed and ready for
separate peace. Ii will release
Roumania, which because of her iso-
lated position was forced to accept
hateful German peace terms when
Russia collapsed, and only awaits op-
po-tunity to rejoin the allies. 1t will
establish communication with the
CZeaho- Sloyaks of southeastern
A Austria, and open the back door to
Austria, already tottering.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1918.

We are all agreed that there can
be no peace obtained by any kind of
bargain or compromise with the gov
ernments of the Central Empires,
because we have dealt with them al
ready and have seen them deal with
other governments that were parties
to this struggle, at Brest Litovsk and
Bucharest. They have convinced us
that they are without honor and do
not intend justice. They observe no
covenants, accept no principle but
force and their own interest. We
cannot "come to terms" with them.
They have made it impossible. The
German people must by his time be
fully aware that we cannot accept the
word of those who forced this war
upon us. We do not think the same
thoughts or speak the same language
OF agreement.-Presiden Wilson.

From it quote these few lines:
go beloved race! Beloved race!
I was blinded with tears and warm with the human
need =
For what child does not call us-whether he dream his
dreams under Fujiyama,
Or float his paper boats the Rhine the Rhone,
! Or make his cakes from the mud of the Nle
Or play in London gutters?'

The Times printed yester-
day one of the REAL stories
of the war.
It was not meant to be a
tale of heroism or sacrifice.
It was told simply and
plainly and its very simple
ity made its facts the more
impressive.
Mrs. Larz Anderson's re-
cital Of what women are do
ing to help win the war was
the story Of one who has
seen and participated in the
splendid work at the front,
where Teuton horrors con-
stantly threaten and suffer
ing and death are day-and-
night companions.
Mrs. Anderson's notes of
her hospital service in Bel
GUM, from which The
Times story was compiled,
were written around the
daily routine Of her work as
a nurse.
This woman, whose wealth
