BULGARIA, S PREDIcAMENT.

Unconditional surrender" it should
have been to Bulgaria, and "unconditionr
al surrender" it was. X
America, being nominally at peace with
Bulgaria, has no voice in the terms offer
ed her by the Allies, but evidently Great
Britain and France were never in danger
of committing the inconceivable blunder
of granting Bulgaria an armistice which
would leave her territory immune to in
vasion.
Bulgaria, even with her army demobil-
lied and at peace with the Allies, offers
real problem yet. The terms of the armi-
stice have not yet been fully published, but
they evidently include rehabilitation of
the army, evacuation of all occupied ter
ritory, surrender of the country s railroads
to the Allies and a complete severance of
all alliances with the Central powers and
Turkey.
Undoubtedly the Allies will find it
necessary to occupy Sofia Immediately. 1t
is essential to cut the connection between
Berlin and Constantinople, and segregate
the Turk entirely from his allies Sofia
must be occupied for this purpose.
Again, it may be necessary to send aid
to Rumania and to restore the Russian
front using Bulgaria as the means of COM
munication. Also the Bulgarian occupa-
ton will be a necessary link in the iron
ring" about the central empires, and Aus
tria may be invaded from the south.
1t is not to be supposed that Germany
and Austria will submit to this without
struggle. Already, it is announced some
German divisions are being rushed to Sofia
and there may be race to reach the Bull
garlan capital first. 1t may prove i'm
possible for Bulgaria to remain neutral
with such struggle in progress for the
possession of her capital. In self defense
her armies may have to be used on the side
Of the entente allies to prevent a German
occupation Of the northern part of the
country.
Bulgaria is likely to find that getting
out OF war is much more complicated and
difficult than getting into it, and that even
unconditional surrender" will not insure
her peace. She may be forced to fight her
former allies for the privilege of surrend-
ering Internationally.

SPANISH INFLUENZA.

It ism t infringing on the prerogatives of
the medical profession to give this advice
to Fargoans these days:
"Get all the fresh air possible; treat
your lungs to hourly house-cleanings of
pure ozone; drink plenty of water; keep
your feet dry and your digestive organs
working properly"
Spanish influenza is sweeping through
many cities in the country. 1t isn't just a
fashionable aiIment. It is a serious cpl
demic, for it frequently results in pneu-
monia.
The best preventive is plenty of fresh
air. The best way to fight the germs is
to be "fit' and keep fit. " Don't be
afraid to open the office windows and the
house windows. And remember that cold
air isn't necessarily fresh air, and it is
easier to heat fresh air than it is stale air.

RETURN THE COMPLIMENT.

If the boys in France have been giving
us something to cheer about during the
last two weeks, it is up to us to return the
compliment
It isn't hard to work up enthusiasm
about the second battle of the Marine, or
the St. Mihel salient, or the latest enter
prise in Champagne.
But on the other hand, it ought to make
the men in France a little prouder of their
country to hear that 100000 men reg
istered for the draft, and that we are sub
scribing $6,0OO,OOO,O0O for them and for
ourselves.
It means that they will have all the
reinforcements they can need, and that
they will have arms clothing, food, am
munition supplies, airships, tanks and
everything else they need to win the war.
We rather figure the boys will be willing
to give three good old rebel yells and a
tiger for the folks back home when the
news is sent along the line that the Fourth
Liberty loan has been subscribed. We
"back homers" may not be the fighting
men, but perhaps we can give the boys
something to cheer about once in a while,
despite that.

THE SONG OF THE LOREIEI.

It is pleasant but dangerous to harken
10 the song of the Lorelei and picture the
central powers topping like a row Of
aominoes when the first one is tipped over
Bulgaria has fallen. Turkey is lowering
sn the brink, and may ask for an armistice
1t any hour.
Austria, it would seem cannot long hold
put.
But Germany, even when stripped of
aer allies and fighting with her back to
he wall, would not yet be beaten, and
night be capable of putting up a desperate
struggle before being brought to her
Knees.
The Plunderbund is disintegrating, but
topping off the weak brothers will not
destroy it, The death blow must be adj
ninistered to Germany.
If Germany can withdraw her armies
10 the border Of France and Belgium and
shorten her line by 100 to $50 miles, with
out disaster in the form Of a rout, she
will still be formidable foe. She will be
back to tremendously strong positions
:hough perhaps no stronger than those she
s relinquishing-and she will have a new
reserve army which may be thrown in to
support amy part of the greatly shortened
'front.' which is threatened.
This may be offset partly by the neces-
lity Of defending a new front on the
Danube and even in Russia, but it is lit
10 TOO early yet to expect the big break
lp. Counting on final victory this fall as
result of the wonderful news of the last
lFo weeks, may lead to bitter disappoint-
nent Germany's last card is to stave off
lefeat until spring, if possible, and play
lpon The war WEAKNESS during the win
er months. Hope of victory she has long
iince abandoned This is her one hope of
securing any terms short Of the justice that
to be meted out to her.

FIVE FILTHY FINGER

Did you, ever make a diary Of your
fingers? 49,.
Did you ever set down in cold
black and white the things your
fingers touch every day, and did you
ever consider the number Of times
daily that your unwashed fingers
seek your mouth?
The United States public service
raises these questions, and you prob
ably would raise your hands in
horror before answering them.
When surgeons discovered that it
was their own infected fingers which
carried germs into wounds they set
about trying to discover a means
whereby their hands could be rem
dered surgically clean-free from
germs.
The whole realm of chemistry was
ransacked for agents which would
disinfect hands, and the scrubbings
and dimensions to which they sub
tender memory to the surgeons Of
that period. ....#n.
But all of these methods proved
useless, and at last in despair sur

AS a waiter of fact, most of US

other careless people have spread
about, there to collect a fresh cargo

No Chance To
StarUe England
~ Associated Press.l

Zurich, Oct 1.-The Vienna So
cialist organ Arbieter zeitung says:
"The Pan German shriekers and
their spiritual allies in Austria
Hungary are continually declaring
that the starvation of Great Britain
is mathematical certainty. and
publishing mendacious dispatches
about the injurious effects of un-
restricted submarine warfare.
'tThe London correspondent of the
Amsterdam Handelsblad, however,
saws that the food situation in Great
Britain grows constantly better and
gives no occasion for anxiety. This
shows that there is no chance Of
starving Great Britain any more
than there is any prospect of her
military overthrow.
There remains only the hope OF
an understanding. Therefore the
more unwarranted is every political
step which renders this more diff
cult, whether taken by the Central
Powers of by the allies"
