CAR NICHOLAS E ALIVE
RIOTS CONTINUE IN BERLIN
TURKISH PEOPLE
WELCOME NEW RULE
Bulgarians Also Pleased that Entente
Powers Have Control

Sofia, Bulgaria, Nov. 20, CORES
pondence of The Associated Press)-
Bulgarian political leaders profess to
be gratified by the entrance of the
Entente fleet into Constantinople and
express TIE belief that it assures an
reputable and reasonable solution of
the interminable question of who
shall control the Straits of the Dar-
denelles. This problem hasabeen the
constant nightmare of mdaI,J5T of the
Bulgarian states, particularly of Bull
garia, Rumania and Greece These
countries always have considslad sthe
possibility of Russian occupation of
Constantinople to be serious menace
of their own national existence.
| This fear was ore of the causes
which led Bulgaria to take sides with
the Central Powers in the war. Later
claim to Constantinop1e, Rumania's s
entry into the war on the side of the
!: Entente was facilitated.
| Political circles in Bulgaria are
profoundly impressed by the giddy
rapidity with which events of far
reaching international importance
now are transpiring. The folly of the
policy pursued by the former King
Ferdinand and his government in Bull
garia has been brought home in a
striking manner to Bulgalians by the
recent developments. The same feel
ing is expected to prevail among the
young Turks, who preferred to trust
Germany rather than Great Britain
and France, although it is said these
powers and Russia gave to the Portea
formal declaration guaranteeing the
integrity Of Turkey if she would re
main neutral in the war.
The great mass\of the Turks, as
we'll as all other nationalities in Tur-
key are said to be overjoyed to wit
ness the termination of the rule Of
the governing clique in that country
| and the success of the Entente pow
ers. They now realize, it is said, that
Germany cared nothing for the con-
dition of the Turks but was solely
i concerned with her own commercial
land industrial schemes affecting Tul-
key. ..-..
/ The general feeling Of tranquility
| has succeeded the recent troublous
times and all political parties replace
confidence in the ability of the pre-
tsent democratic ministry of Bulgaria
| to extricate the country from its pre-
sent condition.
The organization of society IN
Sofia to promote the idea of Balkan
Confederation is criticized here on the
ground that it is premature.

Mrs. Ezra P. Carpenter has re-
ceived the following letter from her
son, who is on the U. S. S. Arathusa
and came home for Christmas:
My dear Mother:
Well, l have just had my Thanks
giving dinner, and some dinner it was,
too. Some different from the one
we had last year at ''99." Here it
is: Oranges, sweet potatoes, chicken,
creamed peas, dressing, apple pie,
cheese, bread, butter and coffee. Two
hundred pounds of chicken were
bought for 80 men. For pie we had
one-fourth, and then the mess cook
got seconds and we had one-fifth
more. Good pie, too. The bread
was good, too Some different COM
pared with rice, beans and hardtack.
l suppose all the folks were glad to
hear the Great War was over 1t
seems good, On the night of the
10th we received the news via wire
less. We We're at sea in a convoy
The quartermaster came up in our
quarters and told US about it. Some
of the seamen came in our quarters
and gave three cheers. The next
few hours were spent in throwing
the ball" Of course we were ir
total darkness. In the seamen's
quarters there was cheering, singing
etc. Before morning the truck lights
on all the ships of the convoy were
turned on and it looked like young

/ The truck light is the light at the
top of the mainmast. We got into
two days later.
Censorship was lifted couple Of
days ago. 1t seems good to write {
letter without somebody's looking
over your shoulder.
1t seems awful quiet here compared
to an American city. 1t has been 8
month today since we have had any
mail. Hope We will get some soor
and hear that all the folks are well.
Everything goes the same as usua

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
Can Be Exchanged for the 1919 Issue

Can Be Exchanged tor the ls19 issue
To clear away mistaken idea re-
ported from many sections that war
savings certificates must be cashed
before January i, Lewis B. Franklin,
director of war loan association, has
issued this statement.
"War savings stamps and thrift
stamps are as good as gold whether
your certificate or thrift card is COM
pletely filled or not. The idea that
untitled certificates must be cashed
before January ! is absolutely base
less. The government will continue
to sell thrift stamps so that you can
fill out these cards and exchange
them for the 1919 issue of war saw
ings stamps"

STRICT ETIQUETTE
OF SURRENDER
Follow the Rules Of War Laid Down
at The Hague


A parlementaire to arrange a sur
render or an amistice has to follow
q certain etiquette which is laid down
by the rules of war as established at
The Hague and by custom, writes
IL. w. Wilson in the London Daily
Mail.
A parlementaire consists of an en-
voy o., ENJOYS from the enemy, prop
eflys authorized, carrying the white
flag and accompanied by bugIer or
trumpeter to call attention. The
persons of the parlementaire are in
violable, provided they do not commit
treachely and provided the com
mander to whom they are sent is will
ling to receive them. Those who
meet them must take all steps to pre-
vent them obtaining information, and
for that reason it is usual to blindfold
them when passing through the lines.
Either the commander-in-ch or
prominent general of the defeated
army goes in person with the parlia-
mentaire. General Gablenz, after
the defeat of the Austrians at Sadowa
in 1866, proceeded to the Plussian
lines under the flag of truce, and was
there blindfolded that he might be
conducted to King William. The
King, seeing the bandage about his
eyes, supposed that he was a wounded
enemy officer, and spoke some words
of sympathy to him before discover
ing the mistake
At Sedan. in 1870, after Captain
Won WinteIfeld and Colonel Bronsart
Won Schellendorf had summoned the
French army to surrender, a parle-
mentaire consisting of General Reille
came out under the white flag, and
Rellle. handed Napoleon HIS letter of
surrender to the King of Prussia on
the heights above Frenois. That
same evening the French commander,
General Wimpffen, came in person to
Arrange the surrender. The terms
were SO severe that he refused at first
to accept them, and only after the
threat of bombardment did he give
way.
After Appomattox, in 1865, General
Lee came in person to General
Grant, commanding the United States
armies, to arrange terms for the
beaten Confederate army Grant
had not expected the surrender that
day; he was in private's uniform,
with only his shoulder badges to show
his rank as the leader of the largest
army which up to that date had ever
f6agft III war He was not orly a
great soldier but also great gentle
man, and he has told the worlel what
his feelings were at that moment.
-. X felt. Like anything rather than re-
JoIcIHg ut the downfall of a foe who
had fought so long and SO vaIiantly
and had suffered so much for cause.
though that cause was, believe, one
OF. the worst for which a people ever
fought. !" And with characteristic
tenderness for the conquered he en-
gag, gagged IN conversation on other topics
At Paardeberg, in 1900, Gen
Cronie made his surrender in person
to Lord Roberts, after his stubborn
and gallant resistance. In honor tc
the defeated Boer leader Lord Rob
erts wore for the first time since he
opened his campaign his ceremonial
sword, a heavy. sword with a jewelee
hilt, and received his opponent with
the words, II am glad to meet sc
brave a man, Like Lee, Cronit
was IN want of food, and the las
ham which the British staff coulc
produce was sacrificed in his honor.

in part is as follows:

Well the censorship has beer
taken off from nearly everything so

been on. First, Chemin Des Danes
which is near scissors. We were or
that front from the first of Februar,
until the latter part of March wher
we went to the Toul sector or tht
Lorraine front where we remained til
the first of July. Then we went tt
Chateau Thierry, staying in this sec
tor until the middle of August. W.
then went back for a rest, but hat
hardly got settled when we starte'
back for the front again, going int
the ST. Mihiel salient and after driv
ing the Germans out of that secto
we went to the Verdun front on tn
Sth of October, staying there until tn
