which included Mary Pickford, Charles
Chaplin and Douglas Fairbanks, was
entertained in Washington by the

the dash of intelligent young Ameri-

The Bulgarian claims, said Mr..

the principles which President Viii
son has repeatedly expressed. This
is proven by the fact that Bulgarian
press has never taken exception to
those principles and, if you will re-

War Tables Turned
All in Allies Favor, is
Statement Of Asquith

Manchester, England, Sept. Is
Speaking at a conference of the Ma
tional Liberal federation Herbert H.
Asquith, former British prime min
ister, said the development of the
Situation during the last two months
had been highly favorable TO the al
lied cause.
The German chancellor. said Mr..
Asquith, admitted only few days
ago to the Reichstag that the great
German offensive i'll France and
Flanders had completely failed. The
allied progress in Palestine and
Macedonia, the former premier con-
tinued had been marked and slgnih-
cant. There had been no campaign
of the war more skilfully conceived
and brilliantly carried out than that
by which General Allenby had cap
tured the better part of two Otto
man armies and cleared out the Turk
from the Holy Land.
Mr.. Asquith declared he never
had doubted the continued pressure
of the allied forces. naval. military
and economic, would prove in the
long run irresistible.
The only peace the allies sould &C
cept, Mr.. Asquith concluded. was
one that guaranteed to all nations,
small or great. security against SIMS
ter predatory ambitions and full
right of self determination. The
speaker thought a league of nations
was matter for much clear coop
erative thinking and that. the time
had come for the best heads among
the allies to attack the practical
sides of the problem.

PART
IN WAR BROUGHT
BULGAR DEFEAT
Germany Unab|e>to Send Any
Troops to Bolster Up Bull
garia, is Explanation
by March.

Washington, Sept. 28.-The i'm
pending collapse or Bulgaria, Gen
eral March said today, is direct
result of the concentration of the
American forces on the western
front.
Hitherto, General March explain
ed, whenever a section of the CEN
trail empires 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 result of the
concentration of the entire Ameri.
can army on the western front,
This has forced the German general
staff to keep intact their whole
strength in France"
The elimination of Bulgaria, the
chief OF staff pointed out, should 4
separate peace be granted, would
foreshadow the isolation of Turkey
and the possible re-entry of Ruman
ia into the war. The effect of these
events on the grand strategy of the
war was obvious, he said.
In the new Franco-American
drive the American forces west of
Vcrdun have passed beyond the
Hindenburg line and are facing the
new Kriemhield 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 rapidly
which has heretofore marked the
American operations. On the first
day Pershing's men advanced from
five to six miles.
General March announced that
practically all of the 84th division
(Kentucky. Indiana and>Southern H.
linois) had now arrived abroad.
Official dispatches to date show
capture by the Americans inA this
sector of 5000 prisoners, while the
French to the west of them have
taken more than 1000.
