London, Monday Sept 30-The con-
vention with Bulgaria signed yesterday
WAS a purely military arrangement
which was entered into on behalf
of the allies by the French and other
military commanders. No political prob
lens are dealt with and the questions
of boundaries and other boundaries
are left to the peace conference.
There has been much discussion in
English press OF the status Of King
King Ferdinand, and suggetions have
been made that he be deposed That
matter also was outside the scope of
the convention The governments Of
the allies take the view that according
totheir principle OF Characterization the
question Ct who should be Bulgaria ruler.
or titular rulers. is q question for the
Bulgarian people to decide, if such a
question arises in Bulgaria Thus 1t
is pointed out, the allies have gwen

termination principle at the brSt oppor-

FRESH BOOBIES FACING
AMERICANS IN BATTLE

London, Oct l.-Germau reserves
are being rushed into the battle between
the Argonne forest and the Meuse river,
where the Americans are engaged, tele-
graphs the Mails correspondent, writing
on Monday.
A new German division has been
identified in the fighting and the enemy
apparently has decided TO make stand
on the Kriemhild line.
The Americans were fighting what
almost rcsembled pitched battle amid
the ravines, woods and heights along
that sector of the front.
Every possible resource is being used
by the enemy to prevent, or at least
delay the American advance but these
efforts have awaited him little. Ameri-
can airmen continued their fine work
Notwithstanding the bad weather.
