was officially announced. Bulgaria ac-
cepted all the demands Of the entente
allies. (1'he chief of these demands
was that all invaded territory be given
up.)

government and the Bulgarian army
signed in behalf of Bulgaria, while
General D'Ilsperey. French commander
in chief of the allied forces iii
Macedonia. signed for the allies.
| (The terms imposed by the allies as
necessary preliminaries to an armis-
tice were announced Saturday as in
cluding total abandonment of Germany
i md rehabilitation of tire Bulgar army
| or Its utilization as an aid for the en-
tente. AS these changes cut in two the
Mittel- Europa alliance that Germany
has been building up, it is expected
that the Bulgarian military party and
Germany and Austria will make deter
mined efforts to keep Bulgaria In the
TeutOnlc alliance. Since the announce
ment thai Bulgaria had proposed an
armlstice reports have come out of
Germany that Teutonic troops were be-
ing hurried to Bulgaria. Through
Switzerland 1t was reported Sunday
that German troops We're being with
drawn from Roumnnia. Their destina-
ton was not given, but 1t is supposed
they are being moved across the from
tier into Bulgaria. Germany not i'm
probably will make a strong attempt to
keep control of the railroad from Ber-
lin to Constantinople, which runs
through Sofia. Bulgarin's withdrawal
from the Teutonic alliance not only
would place Turkey in a perilous po-
sition hut would free Siberia and the
southern bank Of the Danube from
which the allies troops could advance
fn fri Ia 1.,ysr
litical and economic situation has been
cpusing the government much tronble.)

planning this Secretary Lansing told
the minister that he was assuming that
the press dispatches of the signing

Bulgaria is the first nation to break
away from the German alliance.
BY the collapse of this country the
way is opened to put Turkey out of
the fighting very quickly, for another
term of the armistice was that Bul-
garia do nothing to Interfere with fur
ther allied military operations in the
Balkans.
