BULGARIA With.
DRAWS FROM war
ON Terms OF ALLIES

Bulgaria is definitely out of the
war and Turkey, virtually cut off
from communication with her
allies and her armies in Pales-
line almost annihilated. likely soon
will be forced to sue for cessation
# hostilities against her.
Meanwhile the entente allied
forces from Belgium to Verdun on
oix battle fronts are registering VIC
tory after victory over the Teutonic
arms and the enemy front almost
everywhere is crumbling, notwith-
standing the desperate resistance
that is being offered on various
sectors.
Seeing eventual defeat staring
her in the face through the swift
progress of the Serbian, Italian,
British. Greek and French troops in
the reclaiming of Serbia and the
invasion of Bulgarian territory, the
Bulgars begged for an armistice, re-
serving to themselves no conditions
All the territory now held by King
Ferdinands men is to be evacuated:
The. Bulgarian army is to be imme-
GiAtely demobilized and all means
of transport inside the kingdom,
even along the Danube, is to be
given over into allied hands.
thus. in addition to the isolation
of Turkey, the back door to a direct
invasion of Austria-Hungary is
flung wide open to the allies and
doubtless the time is not far distant
when advantage to the full will be
taken of the new avenue through
which the enemy can be reached.
With the debacle in Serbia and Bull
glria complete. the Austro-Hun-
5arians in Albania soon will be put
10 the test and when their evacua-
ton to the town borders is COM
lleted. the allies will have welded
IN iron semicircle about the central
powers from the Black sea to the
North sea.

THE EPIDEMIC Of GRIPPE

The North Carolina State Board

official statement on the epidemic
of influenza that is sweeping over
the State:
The disease started in Spain in
May, this year. involving 80 per cent
OF the population of that country
within short time. Already the
disease has invaded and practically
passed through Europe. The rap
idity with which it travels and the
large per cent of the populati, n in

ly contagious nature of the disease.
apd ~ that with it public health
measures have little influence. The
only good fortune attending the
present epidemic in North Carolina
is that it will probably exhaust its
supply of suscepibles before its dan
