The Bulgarian minister presented to
Secretary Lansing a request from the
Bulgarian government that the
United States use its good offices in
gliding Bulgaria to arrange an armis-
ttce. Inasmuch as the armistice al
ready had been signed, there was
nothing that Secretary Lansing could
do but formally to accept the ',om-

rotary Lansing told the minister that
he was assuming that press dispatches
we're authentic.
lit is understood that Minister Panare-
ton placed himself entirely at the dis
pDsal Of the United States in any action
that might be desired on his part. IL
asmuch as the United States never had
broken with Bulgaria. this action

Made Partners Of Women.
Are we alone to refuse to learn
the lesson? Are we alone to ask and
take the utmost that our women can
give-service and sacrifice of every
kind-and still say we do not see
what title that gives them to stand
by your sides in the guidance of the
affairs of their nation and ours? We
have made partners of the women in
this war: shall we admit them only
to a partnership of suffering and sac
rifce and toll, not to a partnership
of privilege and right?

engaged or by America, II it had not
been for the services of che women

Hearse With Corpse
Buried in Sandstorm

San Angelo, Tex.-With all but Its
plumes completely covered by wind
driven sand, a hearse on it's way to
the cemetery for negroes was stalled
for two days in a drift in a village
northwest of San Angelo before it
could be dug out and the corpse
finally taken to the last resting place.
1t was not until the sky grew
black, with the sun completely OBJ
scured, that the mourners showed
fright. Then the negroes believed a
visitation had come upon the earth
and that all of them would be en-
quilted in u flood of sand.
AS they were on their knees pray
ing the drifting sand began to rise
and some cf them were more than
half covered. By this time the horse
attached to the hearse was knee deep
in sand and the driver bethought
himself of the impending loss of good
horsefiesh as we'll as the possible loss
of his own soul. He determined to
save both if he could, so he Cn-
hitched his horse and began a labor
ing march 20 the nearest village.
One by one the kneeling mourners
struggled to their feet and followed
him. Everybody reached the village
in safety, but badly frightened.

GERMAN PAPERS
SHOW SIGNS OF
DEEP DETECTION
Journals Strive to Restore Ma.
tional Morale and Influ-
ence Neutrals

Washington, Sept. 3.-Depression
in Germany is becoming most mark
ed, according to a diplomatic tele-
gram from Berne yesterday, which
said that the German press shows a
general lowering of tone. Each paper
is doing its utmost to find means of
restoring the morale of the people
and influence neutral opinion. Ar
ticles in which the writer's seek to
discover the best method of obtain
ing an honorable peace are pub
lished in great numbers.
The Mannheim General AnZeiger
tries to encourage the people with
the thought that the reasons why
Marshal Foch pursues his offensive
are economical, alleging that the
scarcity of coal and the inability of
the Allies to postpone their action.
1t adds:
I'VE are at this moment, it is true,
passing through the most serious
and painful days of the war. We
must not and cannot make ourselves
blind to the dangers that threaten
u.s."
The Koelnische Zeitung also re-
Veals its anxiety, saying:
THE struggle on the southern
front becomes every day greater and
more formidable. The greatest Ger
man offensive cannot even be COM
pared with the present fighting. We
must not let the relative calm OBJ
tanning in some sectors deceive us.
There formidable forces are concen-
trated. Are all these troops in need
of rest or are they designed for fresh
battles and ready to attack at the
first opportunity
The paper concludes:
I'VE do not yet perceive Foch's
aim in attacking with so much
flerceness north of Soissons and be-
tween the Somme and the Scarpe.
Our staff must make the necessary
dispositions to meet any painful
eventualities."
