i know of no place where I think
ehe discipline is more helpful than at
Leavenworth," Secretary Baker said.
i have always been very much inter-
ested in the problem there, and l am
especially interested in it now because
with this very large increase in the
army, OF course, the number of young
men who are likely to go there for
breaches of military regulations will
be increased
nave long regarded Leavenwcrth
as one of the most progressive and
hopeful institutions for dealing with
dellnquents that there is in the world.
and the return Of men to the armv
through the disciplinary barracks is
really Just as fine thing as know of
anywhere.
81 saw the disciplinary battalions
training about 500 men sent to Leaven-
worth for various infractions of mill
tary law, and they are amcng the most
splendid, supple bodied, bright-eved
young men YOU can find anywhere
Secretary Baker said he did not see
any conscientious objectors at Leaven-
worth. He said most of them have
gone to Fort Riley. Kansas, where am
pie provision is available for those who
refuse non -combatant service.

Especial Dispatch to The Tyiburc

''peCt0t Dl3pdtci TO IHc I11btrc)
WASHINGTON, Aug 8@"There is no
longer any doubt that the disorgani-
zat'on and confusion prevailing in Bull
gana are rapidly threatening to lead
to an anarchical situation" declared
Professor Voyslav NJ. Yovanovitch. di-
rector of the Official Serbian Press
Bureau, tonight
1.-The differences with the Central
Powers regarding the cession OF the
Dobrudja territory and the still more
serious conflict with Turkey are only
partly cause of the present situation.
This has been complicated by domestic
conflicts between the various political
parties, which in Bulgaria number
eleven. The critical condition of the
food supply and the generally pre-
carlous economic position of the coun-
try have still further contributed to an
already difficult situation.
"As long as Radoslavoff was in
power he was attacked by various
other parties. The questions at stake
were not, however, those of principle.
but had their basis on the desire of
the various leaders Of the cabinet in
power; the opposition did not even
hesitate to try to enter into relations
with the Entente Powers
Tried to Lure Entente
at has come to our knowledge that
delegates of the Bulgarian opposition
were sent to Switzerland to try to
get in touch with the representatives
of the Entente Powers, official and
non official
"To people which has had as much
experience of Bulgarian methods as
we Serbians have had (for we are nine
centuries-old neighbors) it was not
difficult to divine the object of these
Bulgarian agents. If they succeeded
in entering into pourparlers with the
Entente, the opposition was aware that
it could thereby use these relations as
a lever to extort concessions from Bull
garia's German and Austrian allies
At the same time, those pourparlers
would awaken anxiety among the Serb
ian, Greek and Rumanian allies Of
the Entente Powers and arouse their
distrust by causing them to believe
that the latter are not guided, as they
pretend, by the principles of justice
and morality.
Against Any Peace Offer
"This is not the moment to fall into
the Bulgarian trap and begin pour
parlers which the Sofia government
would Immediately exploit against the
Allies. We must rather redouble the
military and political pressure on Bull
garia in order to speed up the internal
confusion and bring about the complete
collapse of that state.
"Under the present circumstances it
is clear that there is no one man in
Bulgaria with sufficient authority to
dominate the situation. 1t is therefore
doubly necessary that the Allies should
do nothing to restore the prestige of
any Bulgarian statesman or any po-
litical party. All the Entente has to
do is to 'let Bulgaria stew in her own
juice 1t would be folly on our part
to offer Bulgaria any price. 1t is use
less to pay a price to-day for what
one can have tomorrow for nothing"

Finland Is "Enslaved"

Compelled, Member Of Com
mons Emphasizes

tONON, Aug. S. Replyin" to the ar
,rments of pacitists, Arthur j. Balfour,
British Foreign Secretary, said IN the
uouse of Commons this aft tsrnoon that
..a truc obstacle to peace was that ed

,rosslv immoral hercsy that policy OF

This heresy originated from the faclle
u.r successes Of Germany. and the
nav to eradicate it was to show Ger
monv that war did not always lead
10 successes
Germany visibly practised these
,hon,inahle doctrines, Mr. Balfour de-
clarsd. and no German statesman hau
over rnamhiguously declared his inten-
ton of restoring Belgium and making
reparation to Belgium. which even the
most extreme pacifst in the House Of
Commons was determined should be
done.
Mr.. Balfour said the carrying out
of German theories was even more
strikingly exemplitied on her eastern
frontier, where she steadily and re-
morselessly was endeavorlng in every
way to bring the peoples there under
her economic and military domination.
Germany vert to Finland as 4 "llbera-
tor" Next to being enslaved by Ger
many, there was no worse fate than
being liberated by Germany, Mr.. Bal
four declared.
Finland was now in the grip Of Ger
many, who insisted on debating what
kind of government Finland should
have and had stripped her of copper
and other materials. had established
garrisons and had attempted to use
her against Russia and the Allies.
John Mackinnon Robertson, NJ. P,
from Tynesde, who described himself
as lifelong pacitst, emphasized that
peace was impossible until the Allies
we're able to compel Germany to dis
arm. After which universal disarn,a-
ment must follow. A peace by negotia-
tion, such as that advocated by the
Marquis OF Lansdowne, would enable
Germany to continue her military es-
adjustment, compelling all other ma

William Crawford Anderson. Labor
member who belongs to the small pa
cifst group in the House, tonight
again raised the question of peace, de-
claring that while the government
strove for unity of command regarding
military operations there had not been
anything like unity of craftsmanship
between the Allied countries regarding
the aims and purposes which they had
set out to achieve.
Mr.. Anderson also urged the govern
ment not to plunge into protection or
preference, which, he said. would en-
danger the prospects Of the formation

Gen. Mangin Veteran
Of Colonial Wars
Has Been Victorious on Every
French Battlefield for
Many Years

Foreign Press Surecu
General Mangln, who commands the
left wing OF the Allied advance from
scissors to Rheims, is one of the many
hard bitten, heavy-hitting fighters
formed by the colonial expeditions of
France. There has hardly been an i'm
rortant French colonial war since the
Soudan campaign in 1899 in which Gen
cral Mangln did not take part. Speak
ing Of him after General Mangin's sue
cessfu march on Marakesh in 1912,
General Lyautey said that she had
made the Gallic cock utter the finest
crow he ever heard"
Since then he has made it crow VIC
tory again on every battleneld IN
France. He was appointed brigade
general in 1918, and on the outbreak
Of war he commanded the 8tn Brigade
in the region of Dinant On the eve
Of the Battle of the Marne he com
manded a DIVISION and during the bat
tie itself, when his troops were over
taken by a furious counter attack, the
general arrived on horseback in the
first line, and by his own personal e%..
ample restored confidence and saved
what otherwise might have been a
perilous situation.
Whenever there was specially hard
fighting to be done General Mangn
was there. The labyrinths of Neuvllle-
St. Vaast were the prelude to his ar
rival at Nerdun at the END OF March
1916. 1t was he who recaptured Dou-
aumont and it was he who retook
Vaux.
In the April offensive Of 1917, which
failed in its objectives, General Man
gins part was criticised and his ac-
ton was inquired INTO. The result Of
that inquiry was TO bring him back
again to the forefront of the battle.
