BULGARS AT PEACE

sLAv WAR is ENDED BY BLAKAN

Diplomatic and Economic Relations
Between Russia and Bulgaria Re

Bulparia's Allies.

Berne, Switzerland.-A separate
peace agreement has been signed by
Russia and Bulgaria, the Bund re-
ports.
A Bulgarian correspondent OF the
Bund says Premier Radoslavoff read
the following dispatch from Brest-Lit-
ovsk In parliament:
"war between Russia and Bulgaria
ceases. Diplomatic and economic re-
lations between Russia and Bulgaria
are resumed. Russia recognizes Bull
garias right to nominate delegate
TO an international Danube commits
sion. The first peace is thus conclud-
ed with the consent of Bulgaria's
allies"
The Bund says Bulgaria has APP
pointed "A minister to Petrograd and
consul general to be stationed at
Odessa and has ordered the resump-
ton of navigation to Odessa.
Bulgaria took part with Germany,
Austria aud Turkey in the first nego-
tiations at Brest-Litovsk and 1t has
been assumed that no peace terms
would be agreed to by the central
powers except In concert.
King Ferdinand of Bulgaria Is cred
tied with opposing the formula of
peace without annexations or indem-
mites, declaring Bulgaria should re-
tain the territory she had won. This
would not interfere with n peace be-
tween Russia and Bulgaria, however,
lnasmuch as the territory Bulgaria de-
slrcs consists Of parts of Serbia and
Rumania. Premier RadoslavofI had ae-
cepted the Russian proposals, provid-
ing for ending the war, restoring COM
mercial treaties in effect before the
war and settling the Danube question.

Washngton.-That Kaiser Wilhelm

Sunday by the extremely wide pub
licity given in Germany to the presi-

1t Is carefully pointed out that such

Official dispatches and press sum-
maries received here during the day
have convinced officials that their plan
for getting the presidents speech be-
fore the German people has borne
fruit
The speech was cabled in full to
neutral countries adjacent to Germany
and widely printed there. 1t is pre-
sumed that the speech was so well
spread about Germany's borders that
the military powers in control of Ger

Men here familiar with the manner

prised TO see him climb aboard the

certain, however, that he would do so
only in an effort to induce the entente
to give Germany better terms than the
fourteen laid down by President Will

The appalling loss of sheep in this
state. due 60 inclement weather and

strongly. Secretary Stewart stating
that p per cent of the sheep had
been lost during the past year by in
clement weather and that the best
figures for the amount of sheep was .
per cent below the normal figures of
other years.
Il have estimated that at least 800
600 Utah sheep were destroyed last
year by predatory animals. This is one
of the most important obstacles with
which we have to contend and plans
must be taken To secure the eNtermi-
nation of these vermin, said Secretary
