Men to Protect State.

TRENTON, Aug. z9:-Governor
Edge in a letter to Provost Marshal
General Crowder, made public today,
asks the latter If 1t will be possible in
the new draft operation 10 give de-
ferred classification to the men of the
New Jersey State Militia units. He
points out that the present body OF
state troops was organized after the
old National Guard was mustered into
the Federal service, with the exception
of an artillery regiment and two COM
panies of coast artillery, and says thak
1t is important that internal govern
meats have at their command milf
tary forces, especially In times of this
KIND. Having given one militia or
ganization to the national
and organized another in its place, the
Executive points out hat unless his
request is granted the new body win
be almSst totally destroyed and the
process of reorganization will have
to be started all over again. The let
ter asks time to recoup these new
units before they are destroyed by the
taking of men from Is to As.
This could be arranged Just as the
deferred classi1cations have been CIV

Jersey Field Artillery and the Third

listed in the State Militia prior to a
certain date already passed. This
would prevent the protection OF slack
ers, as W. certainly have no use for
them.
81 feel very strongly that this mat
ter should be given careful c~onsidera-
ton, not only because of the confusion
and chaos which will result in state
defense II we are suddenly Invested
of our arm OF first defense. but as a
proper consideration Of the men, who.
though not called upon to serve, hAve
willingly sacrificed their time and en-
orgies to serve their state and to pre-
pare themselves for the greater re-
sponsibillty which has now called

Country Fail to Agree.
MIN TER IS FRANK
Says His People Are Weary of

Washington, Sept. 2s.--If any
further evidence OF the certainty OF
Bulgaria's complete and immediate
withdrawal from tina nAld Of battle
and severance OF Its alliance with Ger
many and Austria ID needed. It IL fur
|nished by Minister Stephan Panateron,
Bulgaria's own diplomatic, representa-
tive at Washington.
In a remarkably frank interview to-
day he expressed his opinion that Bull
garia is out OF the war. He made II
plain that the Sofia government u de-
termined to break With the central
powers. Notwithstanding the menace
of possible German invasion and the
threat Of German punishment.
He believes the present negotiations
will result in the peace, which he says
his countrymen crave but, II there
should be any hitch in the proceedings
Bulgaria. would probably appeal to
the United States to use its good ofnces
in her behalf
I'm case the allies should refuse
point blank to come to an under
standing" he said, Bulgaria would
have no other measures to obtain
solution except to ask one OF the
neutral powers or the United States
to intercede In her behalf. OF course
lit is most natural that It would be to
the United States that we would turn.
We are at peace with your nation.
We know that America has gone into
the war for no selfish purpose but to
establish = durable peace in Europe
and the world. The Bulgarian people
know that No one can say that they
are ignorant of the great principles
which President Wilson has laid down
time and again.
These principles have taken a deep
hold upon the minds OF the Bulgarian
people. I am convinced that pressure
OF the people OF my country brought
directly to bear upon tho Sofia govern
ment Is responsible for the course Of
the prime minister
Il am sure the United States il
convinced OF the bonafide character
OF the Bulgarian proposals. observe
by the cable dispatches from London
and Paris that the British and French
governments entertain similar beliefs.
The offer OF our prime minister to
tue allies did not come AZ a surprise
to those who are acquainted with con-
ditions in Bulgaria and who have
analysed recent press dispatches Did
you note that Bulgaria's reply to the
Austrian peace proposal, while stating
that the government was ready for
peace and wanted peace, added that
Bulgaria considered the principles as
laid down by President Wilson as best
calculated to settle the Balkan ques-
ton?
This impressed me at the time I
