BULGARIAN PEACE
CONSIDERED CERTAIN

Washington, September 28.-Peace
with Bulgaria. following the uncondi-
ifonal surrender of Gernany's over
whelme cd catspaw is discussed today
IN Official Washington as If IT Were
an aeeTn plished fact
High military and diplomatic opin-
ion comedies in the view that Bull
garia Will find herself compelled 10
accept the allies terms. and discus
sion is now centered upon the ire
mendous import of her withdrawal
from hostilities.
Viewed in this aspect. the situation
is regarded as not only indicating
a renewal of allied operations against
Austria and Germany under excep-
tionally favorable circumstances. but
as pointing TO still nearer approach
to the end Of the war
In fact. the only suggestion of in
trigue in the virtual surrender OF Bull
garia which has been heard here is
pretext for throwing up the sponge
herself upon the ground that she is
being deserted by her allies
The immediate results of Bulgaria
quitting the field of combatants, an
event that is now taken for granted,
are outlined as follows.
First The release of the British
French and Serbian forces in the
Macedonian drive for action against
Austria
Second The release Of the Italian
army which is advancing through AL
hania for the same purpose.
Third The early re-entry of Rou-
mania into the war with the allies.
which would throw an added army
of 900. 900 men into the field on the
side of the entente powers.
Fourth. The resulting neutrality of
Bulgaria will prevent the use of her
railroads for military purposes, and
Germany Will be cut off from Turkey,
and vice versa.
1t is known that the United States
is In entire accord with the attitude
OF the allies toward Bulgaria's armis-
tice and peace proposals. The exist
ence of such accord, it is stated on
authority. Is not in any way incon-
sistent with the Views of the presi-
dest. and it especially harmonizes with
his view that peace must be brought
a bout by force of arms
For this reason it is declared that
the United States is willing to re-
gard the making OF peace with Bull
garia upon terms of unconditional
as a purely military propo-
sition OF )ustifiable expediency, and
that the matter Will of course come
up again at the final peace congress.
The United states which has never
declared war on Bulgaria, welcomes
the present move OF that power with
the greatest degree of sympathy be-
cause this government knows to a
certainty that there Is no German pro-
paeanda behind the offers of the Bull
garian prime minister.

New American Commercial Attache for
Argentina.

Robert $. Barrett of Alexandria. Va,
has been appointed commercial attache
to the American embassy at Buenos
Aires, according to an announcement
made to-day by the bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce, department of
commerce. He will also act as the war
trade boards representative in Argen-
tina.
As special agent of the bureau of for
eign and domestic commerce, Mr.. Bar
rett has just completed an inyestiga
ton OF the Latin American markets for
paper. paper products, and printing ma
chinery, his reports showing that up to
the time the war broke out our Europe
an competitors, especially Germany, had
the advantage in that field. He is of
the opinion that the American manu-
facturer will do much better in the flu
ture. Previous to this investigation Mr..
Barrett had had twelve years expert
ence in the newspaper, printing and sta
tionary business in Latin America. He is
well known in Virginia newspaper cir
cles.
The commercial attaches are business
stationed permanently at
the principal foreign capitals. Their
work is particularly important at this
time when careful attention must be
given TO present abnormal conditions and
plans laid for maintaining our position
after the war.

of Texas where the killing occurred.
This was asked for by Mexican Ambas-

report made to Ambassador Bonillas by
Consul Cosme Bengoeaehea, of Preside,
the fifteen men were taken from their
homes by armed men and shot to death.
The reason given was a suspicion that
they had participated in the Brite ranch
raid Christmas day.
Texas rangers reported that they had
had trouble with a band of Mexicans
at Porvenr who were supposed to have
been implicated in the Brite ranch raid
They admitted having killed fifteen of

DEMANDS DEATH FOR
SPIES AND PLOTTERS
New York Chamber of Commerce Gives
Scathing Arrangement of Present
Measures in an Appeal to
Congress.

New York. Feb. 9.-Federal legislation
compelling "the most severe treatment
if spies and enemy agents is recon-
mended to Congress in an executive com
mittee report adopted by the Chamber of
Commerce of the state of New York
The report reads in part;
The frequent outrages committed and
the widespread activities of enemy
agents suggest that as yet no sufficient
punishment has been meted out to spies
and plotters to deter others from engag-
ing in equally nefarious acts. If existing
federal statutes fail to provide sufficient
penalties; if the rules of evidence hamp-
er prosecutors, judges and jmies; if the
army and navy lack power to try by
court martial offenders apprehended in
attempts to destroy government prop
erty. or to administer the customary pen

secret service, and ii there are too many
agencies working at cross purposes, need

sea, diarrhGa and abdominal pains often
lead to an erroneous diagnosis of food
poisoning In such cases there is little
catarrh of the respiratory organs but the
characteristic weakness and depression
are usually present.
The treatment of grip resolves itself
into an immediate retirement TO bed
adequate warmth light, simple food and
a careful meeting Of symptoms as they
arise. Thus bronchitis must be soothed
by a warm moist atmosphere; a failing
heart must be helped by the perfect rest
and suitable tones and stimulants, but
the two essentials of the treatment of
grip are that the patient must 90 to bed
at once and must remain there until the
temperature and all bodily functions are
normal.
Ordinary life and duties must not be
resumed until the sense of lassitude and
depression have passed away.
1t may be worth while to add that
when the heart is left weak and irritable,
all stimulants. even tea and coffee, should
be avoided for some months. and that
great care should be taken to avoid over
fatigue of mind and body, especially any
eXertion which makes a sudden demand
on the cardiac muscle, such as too quick

When Grip Is Prevalent.

The climatic conditions of cold ant
damp weather in this country favor th'
rise of an epidemic of grip between th'
months OF November and April. Unfor
tunately the public does not recognize
the possible gravity and certain infee
tivity of this disease and consequently
the disease spreads with great rapidity
Friends visit those who are i'll with
grip. and its victims too often make a
merit of not going to bed until absolutely
! forced to do so. Hence many unneces.
sarv cases of infections. and hence also
many aggravations, complications and
relapses.
There are several different manifesto.
tions of the power of grip. The com
monest type is that of feverish attack
with catarrh of the organs of respiration.
After exposure to infections-the incuba
ton period varying from a few hours to
three days-the patient suddenly feels
i'll, depressed and thoroughly chilled.
There may be shivering with much head
ache and aching pains in the back and
limbs.
The temperature ia raised TO l0l de
grees Fahrenheit or upward to 1903 Fab
renheit The tongue is coated, the throat
core there is much running from the
eyes and the nose, together with soreness
under the breastbone, hoarseness and
cough
The symptoms in general are those of
an ordinary feverish cold plus loss of
strength, depression and So much pain in
the head and limbs that differentiation
ought to be easy.
The fever lasts from two TO five DAYS,
with morning remissions. falling grad
ually. but not quite regularly, TO normal.
