BULGARIA KING
LEAVES EMPIRE
Diplomatic Circles See Signif-
icanoe In His Departure "for
an Extended Trip"
BY Unsted Press

WASHINGTON, July 2s:-King
Ferdinand has left Bulgaria for an
extended trip" to foreign lands, pre-
sumably on account of his health, ac-
cording to French dispatches today
quoting reports from Basic.
Premier Malinoff, who reorganiZed
the ministry after the fall OF Premier
Radaslavoff, will replace the king
during his absence. Ferdinand's sud
den departure from Sofia, the Bulga-
rian capital, at the time when the
Turco- Bulgar dispute is in a critical
stage is regarded as significant in
diplomatic circles here.
While nothing has been said, IL has
been generally known that the Bull
garian throne Is resting on an unsta-
Bile foundation. Bulgaria Is tired OF
the war. -Four years OF fighting, pre-
ceded by the two Balkan wars IN
which she lost heavily, drained her
manpower. In addition 20 this. dis
patches from Vienna stated that the
prospect OF q very poor harvest is
having q distressing effect on the
Bulgarian mind.
The comparative ease with which
the Malinoff party deposed Premier
Radaalavoff and his germanophile
cabinet indicates the rapidity with
which changes occur In Bulgaria,
diplomats point out
Entente influence and propaganda
now gaining headway in the Balkans
together with success OF allied arms
on all fronts and Turkeys detection
may easily result in destroying the
weaker link IN the pan-German
chain.

CLAIMS GERMAN
PUNCH IS GONE
Observer, on Beginning of Fifth
Year of War, Sees Retreat
to Defensive Positions.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP sIMMs

by WILLIAM blMh0
Omitted Press Staff Corresponden)
WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
FRANCE, July 2s:-Barring the
worst hard luck imaginable for the
Allies the German armies never
again will be able to drive forward
with the punch they carried when
they opened their series Of 1918
drives last March.
Today--the starting point of the
fifth year of war-it seems to me to
be merely a question of time before
q forced retreat to defensive posi-
tions will have to be carried out by
the boches in the hope that II will
be possible to obtain peace before
the stream of Americans so swells
the forces of the Allies that an un-
conditional surrender will be forced.
It is an open secret here that It is
becoming increasingly dificult TO Ali
younger German classes cannot be
counted In the same class with the
Americans who are daily arriving In
such numbers as to completely nulli-
fy Germany's new crop.
Documentary evidence In the hands
of the British army shows that Gen.
eral Ludendorff fears political results
at home from too quickly showing
boys into battle.
The German people who reluctant
ly consented to the participation in
battles by those youths to gain the
promised victory that was foreseen In
the hope of bringing about an early
peace, are beginning to feel they
have been betrayed. Opposition Is
growing to the giving up of the re-
naming sons for cannon fodder.
Manifestly, there is a question OF
whether Germany is not putting up a
colossal bluff while trying TO hide
hopeless conditions behind wall OF
imitation steel.

chapter has not acted to form such a
branch. The members being secured
by Father Gross are being taken in as
members to the main Perth Amboy
chapter.
The action of Rev. Father Gross in
securing new members to the Ameri-
can Red Cross comes as a surprise
because of the charges made against
him that he attacked the Red Cross
from the pulpit of his church shortly
after the time the United States en-
tered the war. II now appears as If
the priest was taking these steps "a
one means OF showing his loyalty TO
this country.
The attitude of the priest toward
the American Red Cross has apparent
ly changed since federal action has
been started against him, as he ex-
pressed his objections to the Red
Cross to his congregation early in tho
year. He is now hard at work among
the members OF his parish. endeavor-
ing TO have them Join the local chap
ter.
Efforts were made three times to-
day to get in touch with Father Gross
in order to secure a statement from
him explaining his change in attitude.
but he could not be located.
