Camp Meade, Admiral, Md, Nov. Z.
All Bulgarians and Turks who are
.oidiers OF this cantonmcnt are TO DC
discharged from the service within the
next few days. STEPS t. that effect
we're taken this morning.. Under new
ruling by the war n rartment which
was issued when il was seeu that Tur-
Key and Bulgaria were on their last legs.
all subjects Of the two countries named
who are soldiers in the American army
are TO be considered from this time
on and until peace has been concluded
between the two countries as alien enc
mics instead of enemies OF allied coun-
tries" under which head they were
formerly included.
About two hundred Of ttrese soldiers
viii be given their release from the
army under the new ruling. 1t is not
believed that any harm will be done
now to say that the Turks and Bulgari-
ans for the most part have been Of
LITTLE use to the United States army.
They have been obstacles for the most
part TO the advancement Of their fellow
soldiers with whom they have been
associated. Though no statement has
ever been made on the subject it Is gen.
orally known that the Turks at this
camp were generally inclined TO be In
subordinate and had to be ruled with
more or less iron hand. Appeals to
them to support the country which had
given them shelter had little effect,
though there were few pleasing ex-
ceptions. There were some Turks who
were willing and eager 10 fight--among
them men who were glad to apply for
naturalization, but for the most part
