All morning he had been expecting
someone, but as the hour reached noon
he almost gave up in despair. With

business was so trivial il irritated him.
He would have gone to the club to

For the fiftieth time he pulled open

able. The widest possibilities are
opened by the elimination Of Bull
garia. The most immediate result
Is expected by many to be a sepa-
rate peace with Turkey, due to the
severance Of its communications with
Germany.
The haste with which Bulgaria
signed the convention Indicated the
nations readiness to eonoede every
allied demand. Considering Bull
aafia's past record, the allies were
In no mood to let her of on easy
terms. They demanded every con-
cession consistent with Justice. An
nouncement Of BuIsaria's downfall
caused a wild outburst Of Jubiiance
on the Paris bourse.
The United Press learned authori-
tativeIy that at present there will be
no separate peace with Bulgaria, and
no political decisions affecting that
country's future will be taken. Only
military measures will follow the
signing of tho armistice.
"The Bulgarians are beaten. That
explains and clarifies the situation
at present. one authority stated.
"The victorious advance Of the
allies toward Uskub led the RuIsarl-
ans to throw down their arms with
such sudden fervor. Before hostlll
ties ceased yesterday noon, oven
German reinforcements were unable
to prevent capture Of many Boche
prisoners and immense booty.
The main terms which Bulgaria ac-
cepted include:
DmobiIization of her armies.
Immediate evacuation Of Greece
and Serbia.
Surrender OF all transportation, as
we'll as the right Of way through Bull
garia for development of military
operations.
The allies have the right OF oecu-

Military occupation of Bulgaria to
be entrusted to the Italians, British
and French, the evacuated parts Of
Greece to the Greeks and the evacu-
ated parts Of Serbia to the Serbians.
