dinand's exodus from Sofia is viewed
as a virtual abdication in well in1
formed diplomatic circles here today.
Malinoff, it Is understood, forced Fer
dinand to leave the country fearing
German influence on him. Whether
Ferdinand Will be permitted to return
to Bulgaria and remain without influ-
ence or whether he will be forced to
retire to his extensive estates In
Hungary will depend upon the atti-
tude taken by Malinotf and his cabi-
net. 1t is said.
Malinoff is In absolute control Of
Bulgaria's foreign policy, it is s.ated
authoritatively,. Affairs have been
completely taken out of Ferdinand's s.
hands. Democratic agitation In Bull
garia is increasing daily. The infiu-
ence Of Russia. before the Bolsheviki
came into power, had already started
seething among the masses and is
now beginning to bear fruit.
Turkey is believed to be awaiting
the result Of the German expedition
to Sofia before making a definite
peace move. AS soon as 1t is clear
that Germany can not regain Bull
garia. Turkey is expected to appeal
for the good Offices Of the United
States in getting her out Of the war.
Complete anarchy is raging at
Sofia, official cables from Athens
stated today.
Complete anarchy exists in Sofia"

Swift&Company
Made No Profit
The consumer would
pay only IA cent a
pound less for his
dressed beef.
If Swift & Company
waived all profit on
cattle, and gave it to
consumers in the form of
lower beef prices, this
would reduce the cost
to the average consumer
less than25 cents per year
for all the beef he eats.
In fact, the packers pro-
fit is so insignificant that
if surrendered to the con-
sumner the effect upon
retail meat prices would
be practically nothing.
1t is because of the
volume of meat hand
led that the investor
in Swift & Company's
business receives a satis-
factory return upon his
money.
