BELIEVE PEACE
OFFER GENUINE

PARIS. Sept. 2s.-President Will
sons speech is hailed by France as
a perfect answer to the Bulgarian
armistice offer.
The French press is almost unanI-
nous in estimating that the Bulgar-
ian offer was forced upon Car Ferdi-
nand by the desperate condition OF
the Bulgarian populace, and that it
is not connected with the German
peace offensive. But the French press
also accepts the warning sounded by
Premier Pachitch, of Serbia, to be-
ware of Bulgarian treachery.
We now begin to see the process
of decomposition behind the German
iron cascade as the result of cOrrup-
lion and crimes declared Alfred
Capus in the Figaro. who asserts that
the only way Ito establish justice is
TO crush the force Of injustice, an !
then do justice to the vanquished."
The Echo de Paris advises that the
allies should not be misIed by the
bulgarian smoke cloud"
THE suspension OF bulgarian army
activities il already an accomplish
I'd fact. adds the Echo de Paris. The
bulgarian army has been routec.
Now they propose that we suspend
fighting for two days, so that they
may be given time in which TO con-
sol date their forces for defense.

ALLIES FIX PEACE
|. PACT FOR BULGARS
Continued from First Page.)


American interests in the problem
and the presence OF the Bulgarian
minister in Washington were admit
ted today to be possible reasons for
some direct overtures to this Govern
ment before long.
May See President.
The Bulgarian minister has made
no appointment at the State Depart
ment or White House yet, but there
were strong impressions that he
would consult either the President or
Secretary Lansing soon.
Incidentally it became known that
the allies have not consulted this Gov
eminent on the subject so far, but that
they will do so, however, is believed
likely.
The whole situation now is mainly
military. An armistice can be accept
ed and a separate peace applied from
a military standpoint without Interior
ence with the general diplomatic peace
program later.
Re-establishment of the Danube front
with all that implies as to an assault
on Austria-Hungary with release to
Roumania-is regarded as one OF the
most vital possibilities which could arise
from accepting Bulgaria's oyertures-
The general conviction Is that Bull
garia acted sincerely in her offer.
though there Is surprise at the apparent
sudden destruction Of morale in a hither-
to strong and well organized army.
