Americans Saw Fight.

American business men arriving here
from Sofia report that there was a
pitched battle in the streets during
the change in the Bulgarian ministry,
in which machine guns, cannon and
aIrplanes were e.igaseu. ana many per-
sons killed. American business inter-
ests especially tobacco, in the towns
of Kavala, Sores and Drama suffered
heavily during the two years of Bull
garian occupation, the persecution of
the Americans being stimulated by
opposing German business interests.
Sores, from a population of $4,000, has
shrunk to 5000, according to consular
reports.
Communication between Soloniki
and Sofia is still possible only by
wireless and airplanes. except for a
long detour. owing to conditions on
the roads caused by retreating Bull
garians
William D. Finger. an agent for an
American tobacco company, has just
returned from Sofia, after being on
the road eight days He had been
held in Bulgaria. against his will for
two years by the pro~German Bull
garian ministers.

by the Bavarian socialists for the pur-
pose of establishing courts for SEN
fencing all persons guilty of or re-
sponsible for outbreaks for the pro-
longation of the war finds an echo in
the German socialist press. Vorwaerts
(Berlin) says that these courts shall
begin work in the first weeks after
the conclusion of peace.
Divine Right Idea Fingers.
The. Munich Neueste Nachrichten
says that the question of the abdica-
ton of the emperor is very much
commented upon in wide circles. and
scarcely one can see how the emperor,
who is filled with the idea of divine
righ' will agree to this.

President Wilson's note to Austria,
are unanimous in expressing the be-
lief that the Presidents reply is a
refusal of the Austro-Hungarian
proposal. but is clearly in conformity
with the principles Of the right of
nationalities to self-determination
and illustrates the attempt of Aus
trian diplomacy to escape from its
present situation by a compromise
with President Wilson's principles.

Refusal ''Historic Event"
The Temps says:
President Wilson's refusal is his
toric event. Ne problem of this war
is graver than the Austro-Hungar1an
question. On the solution 1t receives
depend the security of our country,
of the world. President Wilson lays
aside at the outset all solutions pre-,
viously suggested: he gives his word
to the peoples directly. No one can
hereafter Withdraw it from them"
THE note of President Wilson in Its
brevity is absolutely clear" says the

have earned the right to be free ma

What the Emperor Is Told.

president Wilson points out to En-.
peror Charles and his ministers that
in his eyes they are not authorized to
discuss peace" says the Echo de Paris,
because the future of the peoples Of
the monarchy must be fixed by

recognized the Czechs as belligerents
and because he has decided that the
southern Slav peoples shall choose
their lot freely"

The German press, apparently on
the orders of the government. is
attempting to minimize the bad effect
of the Bulgarian surrender. say off.
cial dispatches from France yester-
day.
As late as September so the semi.
official Wolff Bureau maintained that
the Sofia cabinet was unaware OF
the armistice clauses, whereas yes
terday the Koelnische Zeitung de-
clared that nothing irreparabIe had
yet happened" Other journals at
tempt to say the Malinoff cabinet
lacks the backing of the Bulgarian
people, and the Frankfurter Zeitung
is greatly excited over the condi-
tions imposed by the allies, which.
it adds Indignantly, are far more strict
than the Brest-Litovsk and Bucha-
rest treaties.
The Wolff Bureau makes much ado
over a telegram from Constantinoplc
which explains that the Turk sh
people are bearing their trials in a
dignitied manner and intend to re-

Widows the Preferred Risk in Matrimony

Also, success In matrimony is large

veloped sixth sense that informs
her when is the psychological moment
to strike him for a new dress or
present the months bills.
Also the widow knows from exDeri-
sncc that it is folly for a woman to
try TO keep her husband tied TO her
aDron strings. because no apron
"trinG is strong enough to hold him
and that the mere knowledge that he
is not free TO walk out Of his own
front door at night makes him ready
to risk his neck climbing down a ten
story fire escape. She throws down
all the bars, and because he can roam
at pleasure he stays pu'.
Likewise, the widow has found out

A Munich doctor is urging the
enactment OF a law in Germany to
prevent widows from marrying 30
as to leave the few available men
for single women.
Let us trust that this peculiar eX-
pre- sion of German frightfuIness will
not be initiated by the allies, and
that no law will stop a gallant soldier
from getting his just earthly reward,
after the war is over by marrying q
nice comfortable widow, with a tidy
fortune in her pocket. and settling
down to live happily ever after in
reacc and quiet.
For widows are the preferred matri-
monial risk. and the man who es-
pouses one almost invariably gets a
wi..1ing ticket in the lottery run by
that prince of gamblers. Dan Cupid
A pretty girl may mean romance
and poetry. moonlight nights and
thrills. but the widow means a warm
heart and good dinner. and snug
