BULGARIAN ACTION
KILLS KAISER'S PLAN


Amsterdam. In commenting upon tho
Bulgarian situation says that certain
rumors about Turkeys alleged resolve
are quite baseiess." An occasional con-
tributor'' TO tho same paper says that
the capitulation OF Bulgaria would In
volve the capitulation OF Turkey and the
reunion Of the Entente with Rumania,
and finally the equalization OF Austria
Hungary.
While there came q denial from Ger
manic sources that the action was
taken with the consent of Gear Ferdi-
nand. La Ltberfo, Paris. says editorially
that the agreement was signed with the
full consent OF the King. The paper
publishes a denial OF the report that
he had taken refuge In Vienna.
The advices received In Paris said
that Ferdinand remained In Sonia, and
II was added that the Paris Bourse
quickly showed the effect Of the Balkan
news. As an immediate result Balkan
securities were eagerly sought and
prices advanced. The news of the ar
mistice was given to the public imme-
diately following the return Of Premier

and the people here was in the fact that
Bulgaria had met the allied terms with
out question. 1t had been anticipated
that her representatives would offer
counter proposals and endeavor TO en-
gage In debate as to a compromise.
1t was asserted that the allied position
was virtually one OF an ultimatum. and
that the Bplgarians met firm situation
that demanded either equalization or
fight.
The chief point Of interest in London
following the news was as to what
action Germany would take. Some of
the reports indicated that she would
try to hold Bulgaria in line by force.
but there was much question as to the
ability OF the Kaiser's Government to
make much OF a demonstration In this
direction.

Dispatches reaching Amsterdam said
that Car Ferdinand had telegraphed TO
Emperor Charles OF Austria an assur-
