|DAccording to some reports the panic

A dispatch to The Daily Mail from

somebody possessing the confidence
of the Germans and their allies to

who this vague personality might be.

AS the matter now stands, the

No Politics InUOLUed

London, Monday, Sept. 3o.-The
convention with Bulgaria signed yes
terday was purely. a military ar
rangement which was entered into on
behalf of the allies by the French
and other military commanders. No
political problems are dealt with and
the questions Of boundaries and 9TH
er arrangements are left to the peace
conference.
There has been much discussion in
the English press OF the status Of
King Ferdinand, and suggestions
have been made that he be tdeposed.
That matter also was outside the
scope of the convention. The gov
ernments of the allies take the view
that according to their principle Of
self determination the question OF
who should be Bulgaria's ruler is "a
question for the Bulgarian people to
decide, if such a question arises in
Bulgaria. Thus, it is pointed out,
the allies have given practical ap-
pIication to the self determination
principle at the first opportunity Of
fered.

remains in force until the final and
general peace settlement It cousti-
tutes a complete military surrender
by Bulgaria. She not only ceases to
be an enemy but ceases to be a bel
ligerent.
Bulgaria agrees to evacuate all
the territory she now occupies in
Greece and Serbia, to demobilize her
army Immediately, and surrender all
means of transport to the allies.
Bulgaria also will surrender her
boats and control Of navigation on
the Danube and concede to the allies
free passage through Bulgaria for
the development of military opera
tions.
All Bulgarian arms and ammuni-
tion are to be stored under the con-
troll Of the allies, to whom is con-
ceded the right to occupy all inn
portant strategic points. |z
Occupation of Bulgaria will be en-
trusted to British, French and Ital-
ian forces, and the evacuated por-
tions of Greece and Serbia respec-
lively to Greek and Serbian troops.

Negros Good At
Patrol Work

With the American troops in France.
Sept. 15.-(C Correspondence Of the
Associated Press )--American negro
troopers are. regarded by their of
ficerg as exceptionally good at patrol
work, as raiders and scouts. They
seem to have some quality lacking
in the white man which enables
them to stink and crawl across No
Mans Land in a way that defies
detection.
But the negroes never lose their
latent superstition and fear OF the
dark. without white officers to sup
port them morally their value is said
to deterlorate quickly. They see
things" with ease. t
The negro troopers timidity at
night is best illustrated by the eX-
perience OF a captain, who found
one of his men at work after dark.
The negro was talking violently to
himself:
''Niggah, pick up that wheel bar
row and push 1t over there!" Now
put that barrow DOWN." Tip 1t
over and empty TT" Now wheel it
back and I'LL it UP again!"
ed Yes, sah!" and suited the ac-
ton to the word. He explained to
the astonished captain that he felt
less lonely and scared in the dark II
he pretended a white officer was
there to give him orders.
Go To Sleep Easily.
Let the average negro soldier halt
and be forced 10 lie down for a
time, and he goes to sleep almost
Immediately, unless he is forcibIy
kept awake. The leaders of at least
one regiment have had to adopt a
plan whereby all the members Of a
patrol, when they lie down, join
hands, with the white officer at one
end. He keeps the squad awake then
by pressing the hand Of the man
next to him, who repeats to his right
or left and receives an answering
pressure as evidence that his COM
panions are awake.
Nevertheless, the negroes are al
ways ready for a fight. One regi-
ment had begged its way into a por-
ton OF the line where action was
assured In the last German often

London, Monday. Sept. 30.-With
Bulgaria out Of the war, through the
armistice convention signed on Sun
day, involving her complete military
surrender, interest in the near eastern
situation is being focused on Tur-
key. 1t is noted that Andrew Bonar
Law, the chancellor of the exchequer,
in his Guild hall speech today, made a
remark referring to the defeat Of the
Turkish Palestine army at General
Allenby's hands, adding "and some
thing more is going to follow"
Later in his speech he said also
graphically, touching on the control
Of Bulgaria, which the control of her
railways will give:
'In that there was something in
connection with Turkey which can
not say, but which we can think"
Mr.. Bortar Laws words We're almost
drowned by cheering, but the inn
preston created was that Turkey
would follow BuIgaria's lead.
There was deep satisfaction in Lon
don over the days development but
no excitement and no demonstrations.
The keynote of the newspaper COM
ment is a warning to the people not
to think that the war is ended. The
German army, it is pointed out, is
yet a great army, and as yet unde-
feated There is stern work ahead,
the commentators generally agree.
