of the four legs has given way. An
other one is cracking and is liable to
break at any moment. Previous to
Allenbys striking victory the new
Sultan is reported to have declared
himself weary of German domination
and to have instructed his AmbaSsa-
dor in Berlin to get a release from all
previous loans and secure a new
loan, or sever diplomatic relations and
come home. Austria-Hungary has
been showing increasing signs of dis
tress for six or eight months, and the
Bulgarian surrender will expose it to
q new attack from Servia, With the
curious possibility that the war may
end where it began.
With Bulgaria out of The fight, Aus
tria-Hungary can hardly stay in. With
it's surrender the Last Ditch will be
left to the SOLE occupancy of Germany.
Of course the Kaiser is determined
that all Germany shall die for him,
and Germany has been willing to do a
good deal of dying on his account be-
cause it believed it would win. Now
it knows that it will not.
The terms to Bulgaria are the terms
Germany will get. 1t must surrender
its soldiers in foreign countries and
demobiiize those at home. These are
preliminaries. The details will be fur
