Concentration of
Yanks. r esu1ts in
Do,OnfaNof Bulgars

Washington, Sept 2s--The impend-
ing collapse of Bulgaria. General
March said today, is a direct result of
the concentration of the American
forces on the western front.
Hitherto, General March explained.
whenever section of tho central en-
pires was menaced, Germany has been
able to Withdraw troops from the west
err front to bolster up the threatened
point.
THAT day Is past" ne added. "as IA
result Of the concentration of the en-
tire American army on the western
front"
The elimination of Bulgaria. the chief
of staff pointed out. should a separate
peace be granted. would foreshadow
the isolation Of Turkey and the possible
sentry OF Roumania into the war.
The effect of these events was obvious,
he said.
In tho new Franco American drive,
no said, the American forces west OF
Verdun have passed beyond the Hin
denburg line and face the new Krim-
hid line.
General March was unable to iden-
tify positively American units par
tlcipatlng IN tnlS action. lilo said the
action was characterized by the same
dash as had marked previous American
efforts.
General March announced that prac-
tically the entire Eighty fourth divi-
stoh-kentucky. Indiana and southern
Illinois--had now arrived abroad.
General March announced today that
allied and American forces operating
south Of Archangel have been placed
under command of General Poole, Of
the British army. Tho American units
are commanded by Colonel Stewart.
Official dispatches to date show
capture by Americans In this sector OF
5000 prisoners while tho French to
tho west of them have taken moro
than 7.ooe.
Summarizing the situation on all
fronts. General March said "as the
news was good last week It has been
continuously better this week"

spicuolls aspect Of this was the flight

Berl n in Panic
Because of Buqlar
Pesce Movement

London, Sept. 2S.-The publica-
ton In Berlin Of sen,i. offieia! re-
ports Of Bulsaria's peace proposal
has caused great panic In the Ger
man capital.
The Bulgarian pIea for an ar
n,istiee was in response to anti-war
agitation among the bulk Of the
people, the correspondent says.
The correspondent also hears that
kpg Ferdinand himself played an
active roIe in tho peace movo until
Germany eountered his move.
According to this report, the
Nes, realizing tho people wcrs de-
ternined to end the war, took the
initiative some time ago in intri-
CUES for peace, hoping to save his
throne and stave off revolution.
Il was for this reason that h,
went to Germany, and tho CORES
pondent adds that it was curious
fact that his whereabouts and ac-
tions since he returned have been a
mystery.
A solution Of the mystery 10 said
to be that the Germans in Bulgaria
realized that the king was turning
against them and .they virtually
kept him prisoner, at any rate to
the extent Of preventing him from
taking haand in peace overtures
The Germans, however were help
less against the popularity Of the
premier.
Admiral Won Hintze, the German
foreign secretary, according to ad-
vices, in speech before the main
committee Of tho reiehstag, said the
difficulties Of the Bulsarians had
not been favoraPly explained by
Premier Malinoff, because on
Thursday Bulgaria proposed to the
entente commander to open peace
negotiations.
Admiral Won Hintxet said from
reports Il was notSyet clear wheth-
er the Bulgarian government had
acted in accordance with the
army's desires OF. its own initiative.
There were Indications, he said.
that the 'premier's move would be
disavowed by later developments.
He added there was great excite
nent in Bulgaria and in influential
circles the people were opposed to
peace. He said the peace delega-
ton which was reported had left
for SaIoniki on Wednssday still
was in Sofa on Thursday.
The German high command. he
said, Immediately threw all it's re-
serves At ito disposal into Bulgaria
when the bad news from Macedonia
became known. The Austrians also
sent forces and these reserves, he
said, were sufficient to restore the
military position.
"The situation must, however, be
characterized rs critical" Admiral
Won Hintxe 10 reported to have
said, "but Il will be clearer in a
few days and there is no reason to
give up the game in Bulgaria"

qualified proposal for cessation Of hos
tilities.
The United States is still at peace
with Bulgaria and the Bulgarian min
lister still occupies his legation, here.
Therefore. directly and formally the
American government has nothing to
do with the proposal made. to the
French general commanding the allies
in Macedonia. =
Actually. however. the Bulgarian af-
fair must be considered as an impor-
tant phase of the world war situation,
so the announcement from Paris that
not only the entente governments but
the United States must be consulted
before Bulgarian proposals are con-
sidered was not surprising
Statement by Authority.
From competent authority the fol-
lowing statement was obtained tonight
In regard to Bulgaria 81 proposal:
THE powers directly concerned by
Hulgaria's proposal Of an armistice are
Serbia, Greece and Roumania. The
latter for the moment Is not IN a posi-
tion to speak for herself, 10 that tho
allies. as guardian nations, will have
to take the interests OF Roumania into
consideration and treat them az II
they were their very own.
Serbia and Greece, however. can
speak directly for themselves. While
Bulgaria's offer will be rejected or ac-
'cepted OMIT merits by the allie., the
latter will consult the Serbian and
Greek governments before acting on
the proposal.
What They viii Ask.
"As for Serbia and Greece, which
Countries have been aware for con-
siderable time Of the Bulgarian In
trLsue, they are confident that without
their sanction the allies will not accept
the Bulgarian proposal. Serbia and
Greece, before giving their. nssent to
an acceptance OF the proposal. would
insist upon certain preliminary assur-
ances. including three major con-
sidcratlons:
First. the complete restoration Of
tho occupied Serbian and Greek ter
ritory by the BulEarians.
Second. the complete reparation re-
qvlred by Serbia and Greece would
have to be undertaken.
Third. Bulgaria would be compolled
to furnish guarantees for her future
conduct. Il.
An Unconditional Surrender.
"Also. Bulgaria naturally would be
forced TO give back to Roumania the
territory .she has wrenched forcibly
from. Roumania, namely. the Dobru-
dta a;.!.he< would DC obliged to promise
the nonuse Of her territories by the
enemy: she would have to resign her
claims to Serbian and Greek Maccdo-
mia: In other words. Bulgaria would
have 10 surrender Internationally.
Why should Serbia and Greece and
the allies pay Bulgaria for somsthing
that can be gotten for nothing? Bull
garia Is defeated: she soon would be
overwhelmed by superior Forces Of tffe
International army in the Balkans:
there Is no longer any reason why she
should receive any special favors.
She would shortly be Mt the complete
mercy of the aA4ies. She is. enleav-
oring to escape the penalty Of her own
treachery In 1916. .,i. n X, ~
