London, Sept. 28.-The allies
terms have already been sent to
Sofia, it was learned here this
afternoon. They include:
Evacuation of all territory
outside Bulgaria ,as a prelimin-
ary to any agreement
Complete rupture with Ger
many, Austria and Turkey.
Demobilization of the Bulga-
rian army.
BY this reply it is perfectly well de-
fined that no military operations can
be suspended. -
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.
Demand Every Guarantee.
The allied governments necessarily
consider necessary to them to safe
guard their military operations and
prevent the dispatch of German
troops to Bulgaria.
In discussing the Bulgarian pro-
posal, 1t is pointed out the allies have
no intention of attempting to make a
final territorial settlement in the Bal
kans whic obviously must be a matter
OF consideration at the peace confer
ence. The question, it is stated is one

agreement as would prevent apy fur

American Forces on Western
Front Held Back Huns Aid.
Germany Unable To Send
Troops To Stop Serbians.
TURKEY WOULD Be ISOLATED
Then Rumania Possibly Would
Re-enter the War.
News Even Better This Week
Than Last, March Says.

Washington, Sept. 2s.-The impend-
ing collapse of Bulgaria. General
March said today. is direct result of
the concentration of the American
forces on the western front.
Hitherto, General March explained,
whenever a section of the central en-
pires was menaced Germany was able
to withdraw divisions from the west
front to bolster up the threatened
point.
THAT day is now past" he added.
'as a result of the concentration of the
entire American army on the western
front. This has forced the German
general staff to keep intact their
whole strength in France"
Would Isolate Turkey.
The elimination of Bulgaria, the
chief of staff pointed out, should a
separate peace be granted, would fore
shadow the isolation of Turkey and
the possible re-entry of Rumania into
the war.
The effect of these events on the
grand strategy of the war was obvious,
he said.
The American New Drive.
In the new Franco-American drive,
the American forces west of Verdun
have passed beyond the Hindenburg
line and are facing the new Kriem-
hield line. General March was unable
to identify positively American units
which participated in this action. He
said the attack was characterized by
the same sharpness and rapidity
which has heretofore marked the
American operations.
On the first day Pershing,s men ad-
vanced from five to six miles.
Official dispatches to date show
ca ptures by the Americans in this Sec
tor of 5000 prisoners while the
French to the west of them have taken
more than 1000.
News Looks Better.
Summarizing the situation on all
fronts, General March said ;"As the
news was continuously good last
week. 1t has been continuously better
this week"

Frisco Golfers Escape
Wearing Flu Masks on Links

The following from the San Fran
cisco Chronicle tells how the Gold
en- Gate golfers have been focking
to the links to escape the wearing
of the epidemic mask:
1.-THE mid-week golfer, under Or
binary conditions, often displays
considerable ingenuity or imagin-
alton in offering excuses for his
presence on the links. But nova
days every golfer has reason and
nobody, considers apology neces-
sary.
rThe physicians first prescription
for flu prevention is: All the fresh
air you can get and the golfer
knows the best place to get it in
abundance. Moreover, the links at
ford the one escape from Mask
land.
F"The law-abiding citizen contin-
ues to wear his wizard while dress
ing in the locker room, but discards
it joyously as he approaches the first
tee, and thenceforward for two
hours and half, with every thought
and nerve concentrated on the des-
tiny of small white ball, is obliv-
ioas of, anything that came from
Spain. And each hole he plays is
50 much prophylactic."

While several thousand soldiers
have been sent home from, Camp

railroad men returning from there
say that the reduction of forces is

Chick Evans Raises
Quarter Million in
Red Cross Golf PLAY

Chicago, Dec. IA. - Although
Chick Evans. national amateur and
open golf champion, did not get to
go to war, as he was accepted in
the vaiation corps only few days
before Germany was defeated, his
record in Red Cross work, just tab
ulated, shows an amazing perform
ance in golf.
The 81 exhibitions participated in
by Evans, who suggested the plan
managed by the Western Golf as
ISOLATION under the personal direc-
ton of President Charles F. Thomp-
son, brought in $250,000 of the $685.
us procured from golfers for the
Red Cross.
In order to play these matches
Evans travelled 26,250 miles, played
in al different cities, and was on
the road almost daily from April
q to October 5. The field within
which he ranged is bounded by
line drawn from Winnipeg to Den
yer, thence to Memphis and White
Sulphur Springs, w. Va, thence to
Washington, and along the Atlantic
coast to Boston and thence to To-
ronto, Canada, Duluth, and back to
Winnipeg. a
Probably no other golfer ever in
amy single year played half as many
courses, and certainly no one ever
before; by his play, contributed so
much to public fund. The match
that brought in the most money
was that at Lake Shore Country
club, when Chick and Jim Barnes
played Jock Hutchinson and Bob
Macdonald a tie, which brought in
$4,000. The highest price paid for
the privilege of caddying for him
is said to have been $1,000, paid by
F. J. Johnson at Beverly.
The champion did not play as
good golf at times as is his stand
ard, because he was over-golfed and
travel-worn. He lost 20 pounds in
weight during the campaign.
He was paired several times with
Warren Wood of Chicago and other
amateurs, but in most of the events
the other competitors were famous
professionals, who volunteered their
services for the Red Cross.

Foot Bali Deaths Due
to Lack Of Training;
No College Players

Chicago, Dec. l4.-Foot bali
claimed the lives of nine players
during the 1918 season--three less
than the 1917 toll, nine less than in
1910 and seven under the toll of 1915,
according TO figures compiled by the
Associated. Press today. In 1914
there were4ls deaths.
Virtually all of the players were
"free lance" players, not participant
ing in games conducted under col
lege and university physical direc-
ton. Some of them had only a
limited knowledge of the game.
"The figures will Continue to de-
crease until fatalities in Americas
toughest outdoor game have been
entirely eliminated" said A. A.
Stagg the veteran foot ball coach Of
the University of Chicago, today.
He added that the greatest menace
to the game is the lack of proper
training and proper physical exami-
nation. While some of the larger
high schools now require physical
examination, in most of the smaller
cities this is entirely ignored.

"Smoke Ball" Latest One
Pulled in Golf Circles

New York, Dec. 14.-Every day
one hears of this or that invention
that will completely revolutionize
the game of golf. Not so long ago
an enthusiast came out with the
story of a ball that squeaked as it
fell to the ground, thus eliminating
the possibility of being unable to
find it. Now there comes a man
with a large inventiye mind who
more often finds himself in the rough
than on the fairway. As result he
struck the idea of a ball which, after
it had been hit and had come to rest
emitted smoke to mark its locality.
Just how the thing would be man
aged is not as yet clear to the golf
er's, mind.

Rutgers and Princeton
"25'S" PLAYED 40 Years AGO

New York, Dec. 14.-When Rut-
gers college, of New Brunswick, N. J.,
celebrated its 150th anniversary two
years ago the place of honor was
given to the survivors of the immor-
tai Rutgers foot ball team in 1867
the men who helped to defeat
Princeton in the first intercollegiate
eridiron match ever played in Amer
lea or England, This game was
played at New Brunswick forty-nine
years ago, November 8, 1869, and an
interesting account of the clash of
the rival "25's" has been resurrected
from the columns of the New Bruins
wick Freedonian. The reporter who
covered the first college foot ball
match wrote as follows:
"Our neighbor, Princeton, sent her
chosen "a stawart young men and
one Goliath to combat twenty-five
striplings. There is not recorded in
the history of the Olympic games a
more interesting and decisive match
played in so short time by such a
number of contestants as this game
was. Rutgers led off by winning the
first inning amid the vociferous
cheering of the bystanders.
Princeton seemed to play little
wild at the beginning, but in the Sec
ond inning they recovered them
selves and came out victors. So it
continued off and on, one gaining,
then another, until the ninth and
tenth innings, when. notwithstand-
ing, Rutgers quickly and boldly fol-
lowed successive victories, giving
them six runs to four of Princeton,
thereby coming off .conquerors,
which was hailed with exultant
shouts of applause by the admirers
of Rutgers"
