Bulgaria has signed an armistice with the allies and
the first break in the alliance of the central powers has
come Terms laid down by the allies were accepted by Bull

powers will cease Allied terms reported from semi
official sources included rehabilitation of the Bulgarian
army and Bulgarian withdrawal from allied territory
With Bulgaria under allied control the position OF
the remaining powers in the Balkans and the east will be
most serious The main communication line between Ber-
lin and Constantnople will be cut and AustraHungary
will be open to invasion across the Danube.
On the western front from the North to the Meuse
the allied armies are pressing vigorously and successfully
through the main German defenses The suburbs OF Cam
brai have been entered and the allies closing IN on
Lille ST. Quentin and Laon while the French and Amell-
can drive northward west Of the Meuse against the Ger
man communication line continues. Germanys hard
pressed armies are fighting desperately to stay the allied
onthrls but the French British Americans and Begans
are fighting their way steadily into the German defensive
system the overthrow Of which probably will result in
German retirement to the French border if not to the
Rhine.

Brattleboro has passed the first

drive. That fairly might be called a
flying start.
The total amount of subscriptions
which this town is called upon to make
is $724, 900. One-fourth of that amount
is $lSl 900. At the close of business
in the banks Saturday night the amount
subscribed was little under the latter
figure, but enough applications have
come in since then to carry the total
above that sum.
Not until this morning was the aggre-
gate amount of subscriptions at the
Brattleboro banks on Saturday night

Shumway of the town committee got
| the figures together the total was found
| to be $163, $50.
Those were the figures for one day.
Saturday, and a substantial number of
| applications for bonds have been made
/ today. The first day total included
43S subscriptions.
The employees of the Fort Dummer
mills made a remarkable showing, 100

at the cotton mill has taken out bond.
They can be equalled, but they cannot
be beaten in that respect by any other
