According to proclamation issued

Purely Military. Agreement.

London. MeHday, Sept. 30.-The
convention with Bulgaria, signed e
terday, was purely a military arrange

half of the Allies by the French and
other military commanders. No DO
Htical problems are dealt with and the
questions of boundaries and other ar
rangements are left to the peace con
ference.
There has been much discussion in
the English press of the status of
King Ferdinand, and suggestions have
been made that he be deposed. That
ntattef also was outside the scope, OF
the convention. The governments OF
the Allies take the view that according
to their principle Of self determination
In the question of who should be Bull
Earia's ruler is a question for the Bull
garian people to decide, II such a
question arises in Bulgaria. Thus it il
pointed out, the Allies have given a
practical application to the self de
termination principle at the first op-
portunity offered.

Bond-Cases Reported
of Slackers.

With, only one day left to make
the grade" in the present Liberty
Loan drive, the committee located at
the city hall having charge of the
subscriptions, is kept busy. ALL bond
are asked to go to the
committee instead of having the COM
mittee come to them.
There are many rumors to h eff
feet that slackers have been found in
man in the city with a small family
refused to buy a bond. The commit
tee says there is absolutely nj excuse;
the mans wages are such that he can
well afford to take bonds and the
committee may take certain steps in
cases Nof this kind. East Grand Forks,
it was said. cannot afford to house
slackers any more than can the Unit
ed States afford to house enemy
propagandists.
Purchases $1,000 Bonds.
Already there have been sold six
$1,000 bonds which fact indicates that
the hearts of the people of East Grand
Forks are in the right place and with
several reports from the Northern Pa
cific and Great Northern railways to
the effect that large bonds have, been
sold there, there is every possibility
that the Fourth Liberty Loan drive in
the city will be a grand success.
The sum expected from each per-
o has been told him and unless't this
Is met II. will be necessary to appeal
to some one else. In many instances,
however. it has been noted that the
subscriber asks for more than his all
lotment.
Work at the city hall today is in
charge Of T. A. Sullivan and j. r.
johnson and they handed in a very
favorable report for the mornings
work. If the present rate of sales
keeps up East Grand Forks will un-
be remembered that all men. women
and children should pride themselves
on the number of bonds owned,
