Paris, Oct. There will be no tern
porary seperate peace treaty for b J.

A possibility heretofore overlooked.
is the entrance of the allied troous

Malinoff. who represents the Russo

but agreed to meet the Bulgarian dele
gates if the flag of truce and the ar
mistice request are carried to the
| British lines. D'ESperay's report

because he feared it was but a ruse
to gain time for reorganization.
