With the welding of the armies of the Entente into a compact whole un- der command of the inter allied war council, guided by the master strategy of Marshal F'och, apparently has come the first break in the united front of the Central Powers.
 Bulgaria, smallest of the Teutonic allies, seems to have struck her col ors. Premier Malinoff has asked for ar armistice to consider terms of peace. Whether he is acting upon his own responsibility as the repre- sentative of a revolutionary party or with the approval of King Ferdinand and the government, remains in doubt Ill either case. however, there is little doubt that Bulgaria has ceased to be a military factor in the war. Her ar ! mics are in full retreat and Ter soil has been invaded.
 Secession of the Balkan state from the thraldom of Germany will be al- most as severe blow to the Teutonie i alliance as was the collapse of Russia to the allies
 | If Bulgaria lays down her army Tur- l key, her armies shattered by the couI l Or General Allenby in Palestine, will 1 be cut off from her allies. Her lines l of communication will be severed ex- | cept across the Black Sea through Ru- mhnia or over the mountain peaks o1 l trans Caucasia in Russia where tLt l grip of the German controlled Bolshe- wiki is becoming steadily weaker.

which Is the lowest since 1905,
when a temperature of o1z degrees

the coldest December weather on

Bayou Pierre was frozen over,
the ice being so thick that brick
thrown far from shore failed to

Young clover Is thought to have
been killed. Probably half OF the
clover was killed by the freeze Of
