BULG4RIANS AGREE
TO RUSSIAN TERMS
REPORT FROM BERNIE SAYS THAT
PEACE AGREEMENTS HAVE
BEEN SIGNED.
Reject TERMS WITH TURKS
Early Resumption Of Actual Fighting
Is Expected Between Russia and
Germany-King of Bulgaria
Opposed TO Peace.

Berne.-A separate peace agree
ment has been signed by Russia and
Bulgaria, the Bund reports,
A Bulgarian correspondent of the
Bund says Premier Radoslayoff read
the following dispatch from Brest-
LitOysk in parliament:
War between Russia and Bulgaria
ceases. Diplomatic and economic re-
lations between Russia and Bulgaria
are resumed. Russia recognizes Bull
garia's right to nominate a delegate
to an international Danube commits
sion. The first peace Is thus con
Guided with the consent of Bull
garia's allies"
The Bund says Bulgaria has APP
pointed a minister to PetrOgrad and
a consul general to be stationed at
Odessa, and has ordered the resump-
ton of navigation to Odessa.
Bulgaria took part with Germany,
Austria and Turkey in the first nego-
t|iations at Brest-Litovsk and it has
been assumed that no peace terms
would be agreed to by the central
powers except In concert. However,
adyices giving the names of those
who took part In the first session OF
the Brest-Litovsk conferences, when
they wers resumed, made ne mention
Of a Bulgarian representative.
King Ferdinand OF Bulgaria is
credited with opposing the formula Of
peace without annexations or indem.
uities, declaring Bulgaria should re-
tain the territory she had o This
would not interfere with a peace be-
tween Russia and Bulgaria, however.
lnasmuch as the territory Bulgaria
desires consists Of parts OF Servia and
Roumania. Premier Radoslavoff was
quoted in a Sofia dispatch last month
TO the effect that Bulgaria had ac-
aepted the Russian proposals, proyid-
ing for ending the war, restoring com
mercial treaties in effect before the
war and settling the Danube question.
Separate peace proposals made by
TuGkey, it is reported, have been re-
fused by the Bolsheyiki government.
Turkey was requested to participate
in the general conference between
Russia and the central powers.

In a telegram sent to all state Gov

While many board members have
renewed their offers of gratuitous

expense account down, Gen. Crowder
said in his telegram, "a considerable
number, regardless of the size Of the

so extravagant a scale that the total

Under the new regulations expenses
already allowed members would be

by unanimous vote, may distribute
the 80 cents allowance per mar among

provided that no member shall re.

members more than 25 cents.
Gen. Crowder praises the patriotic
members of the boards who are giving
their time to the government without
