BULGAR|ANS MUST
ABANDON THE HUN
BALKAN FOE TOLD WHAT is Elk.
PECTED IF THEY REALLY
DESIRE PEACE.
Must Evacuate All Territory Outside
Bulgaria, DemobIIlze Army, and
Break With Germany, Austria
and Turkey.

London. - Bulgaria has made q re-
quest for an armistice, having tired of
the war.
Great Britain has replied to the Bull
garian request for an armistice. The
reply, 1t is stated, is fully covered by
the answer given the Bulgarian rep
resentatives by the commander Of the
allied army on the Macedonian front
ct the time Bulgaria's request was
made. By this reply it is perfectly
well defined that no military opera
lions can be suspended at present.
At the same time, regarding the pro-
posal that duly accredited Bulgarian
representatives should confer with the
allies on the question of peace it has
been made quite clear to the Sofia
government that such a peace neces-
sarily involves complete rupture by
the Bulgarian government with Tur-
key, Germany and Austria Hungary.
The allied governments demand
every guarantee which they consider
necessary to them to safeguard their
military operations and prevent the
dispatch Of German troops to Bulgaria.
The allies terms sent to Sofia in
clude:
Evacuation of all territory outside
Bulgaria, as a preliminary to any
agreement
Complete rupture with Germany,
Austria and Turkey.
Demobilization of the Bulgarian
army.
The Bulgarian delegates who are TO
discuss an armistice and probable
peace arrangements with the allied gov
ernments arrived at Saloniki on Sat
urday. The delegates are General
Lonkoff, commander of the Bulgarian
second army; M. Liapcheff, finance
and M. Radeff, a former men,

Some years ago. when the Shakes
