Bulgarian ENJOY Tells

AMSTERDAM, March 6.-M. Toncheff.
Bulgarian Minister Of Finance and head
OF the peace delegation, has returned
from Bucharest to report to his GOV
ernment on the negotiations with Ru-
mania. He explained to the Bulgarian
SobranJe that on the expiration of the
armistice Saturday the Rumanian dele
gates announced that the Crown Coun-
Gil at Jassy had decided to accept the
conditions offered by the Central Pow
ers, including the cession of the Do
brudia, readjustment of the frontier be-
tween Hungary and Rumania and the
granting of economic concessions.
The Rumanian government was then
Informed that it must sign before noon
of March Il preliminary treaty en-
bodying these terms and that negoti-
ations would be resumed Immediately
with view to be further armistice
and the final conclusion of peace.
NJ. Toncheff said that the preliminary
treaty between the Individual coun-
tries would be drawn up in identical
terms, but in the final treaty, which
would require some alterations in the
wording, it would expressly stipulate
that Rumania cede the Dobrudja to
Bulgaria. The economic concessions
also would be set forth clearly, the
work of defining them probably occupy
ing some time.

Invents WeapontoEiurl
$4,000 Shots a Minute
New Weapon, Deadliest
Known, Before War De-
partment, Bostonian Says
| Special Correspondence

BOSTON, March 6.-Levi w. Lom-
bard, Of this city has invented gun,
hult on the centrifugal principle,
which he insists is the king Of all
cathdealing machines of war This
new weapon, which the inventor affirms
has been proved practicable in every
way, is said to shoot $4,000 shots a
minute-555 a second.
Lombard declares that several ord
nance experts have examined the gun
and watched it operate, and that each
one of them has announced his amaze
ment at its efficiency and accuracy. He
adds that War Department officials arc
now investigating it. The inventor ex.
plains that he is Keeping secret The
location of his gun for obvious reasons.
The weapon is product of thirty
seven years Of almost constant labor.
says Lombard. 1t has no barrel. thus
eliminating all "jammlng" and heating,
common problems of present-day ma
chine guns. Instead, it operates on
the principle of sling. The latter
operates in conjunction with a disk.
which revolves at a terrific pace. The
ammunition is fed through a tunnel
ike attachment from a tube, leading
into two "vcins," which centre upon an
+ opening through which the missiles
are hurled with great velocity.
In recent test, the inventor claims,
before several witnesses, the gun was
turned on to sheets of steel plates
three quarters OF an inch thick several
hundred feet away. The bullets whipped d
through the steel like paper. The "bul-
let's are small steel balls similar to
bearings.
The machine can be operated from a
distance. Lombard declares. 1t could
be placed in front trench and oper-
ated from point at the rear 1t can
be regulated to shoot in any direction
and is easily carried by three or four
men. Steam is the source of energy.
Lombard smiled as he explained that
he found his fundamental principle in
the story Of David and Goliath The
sling which proved so formidable in
/ the hands Of the little man furnishe ed
the inspiration on which he worked.

courage Russia
courage Russia

Refusal of America to acuucsce in
the proposed Japanese Intervention in
Russian affairs will do more than any
one other thing to rouse and encourage
Russia and unite all the elements in
that country, in the opinion of Charles
II. Boynton, former president of the
American Russian Chamber Of Com
mercc. Mr.. Boynton has spent much
of his time in Russia and is we'll ac-
quainted with the people and their
characteristics.
According to a statement issued by
Mr.. Boynton yesterday, just before he
left for Washington, the real friends
of Russia are delighted at the report
ed refusal of President Wilson to give
his approval to any interference by
Japan, acting alone.
'The question of Japanese action in
Eastern Siberia" Mr.. Boynton stated
''must be considered and decided sole
ly from the standpoint of it's effect on
Russia. The good faith of Japan is
not to DC questioned for moment.
"History has proven that Russia is
most dangerous when apparently
crushed to earth. The crushing de-
mands of Germany will rouse the pco-
pie as would nothing else. The en-
trance of the Japanese at this time
might not only crush the fast-growing
feeling in Russia against Germany
but it might, as we'll, destroy Russia s
confidence in the Allies.
Russia will be saved by her own
people, provided they have the sup
port Of the Allies. The dispatches
from Russia grow more and more en-
couraging, and those of this morning
seem to point very directly to the i'm
mediate unifcation Of that country .
