Speaking in New York upon the eve of the opening of the greatest pOp- ular loan ever offered by any gOv- ernment, he laid down the five car dinal points upon which America will stand to the last man and the last dollar.

With the welding of the armies of the entente into a compact whole under command of the inter-allied war council, guided by the masterly strategy of Marshal FOch, apparent- Iy has come the first break in the united front of the central powers.
 Bulgaria, smallest of the Teutonic allies, seems to have struck her c0IOrs. Premier Malinof has asked for an armistIcc to consider terms of peace. Whether he Is acting upon his own responsibility as the rep rcsentative of R revolutionary party or with the approval of King Ferdinand and the government, re- mains in doubt. In either case, however, there is little doubt that Bulgaria has ceased to he n mili- tary factor in the war. Her armies are in full retreat and her soil has been invaded.
 Secession of the Balkan state from the traldom will be almost as se- we're blow to the Teutonic alliance as was the collapse of Russia to the allies.
 If Bulgaria lays down her arms Turkey, her armies shattered by the coup of General Allenby in Palestine, will be cut off from her allies. Her lines of communicat ton will be severed except the Black sea, through Rumania or over the mountain peaks of Transcaucasia into Russia, where the grip of the C;erman-c controlled bolsheviki is be- coming steadily weaker.
 With her supplies of German made munitions and raw materials hanging by such a slender thread, military observers believe the Ot- tOman empire will have no course left hut to follow the example of her Balkan neighbOr.
 But 1t makes little dinereDce to the entent whether the Turks aban- d0ns Germany and Austria. If Bulgaria quits he can no longer be . menace to their plans.
 The back door of Austria will stand ajar before the victorious British, Serbian, Greek and Italian armies plunging ahead through the mountains of liberated serbia.

Cutting Edge of Great Allied Attack Seems to Be American Advance on Mouse, and General Enemy
 Withdrawal Is Likely

Washington, September 27. Faced by a smashing attack by the American First army on the heights of the Mouse, de- termined French pressure to the west, just beyond the for est of Argonne, and a simulta- neous British thrust at Cam brai. German armies on the western front, in the opinion of officials here, are confronted by menace that renders inn possible the sending of aid to weakened Bulgaria, Realiza- tion that her strongest ally could do nothing may have had much to do with the dis patch of peace overtures by Bulgaria, it was thought.
 There is danger enough for the enemy, officers said today in the Franco-Amer- ican attack, linked up as it is with the British drive. As the thrust in the Champagne develops it appears most probable to many observers here that the direct object sought is to extend the battle line directly up the Mouse until the Thionville- Metz fortress is masked and the German armies surrounding t virtually separated from the enemy forces in northern France and Belgium.
