BULcARrA's PEACE APPEAL.

preliminary peace Overtures Gen. dEsperey refuses
to suspend military operations but signifies his willing
ness to receive Bulgarian delegates In the meantime
Creek British French and Serbian troops are closing in
on Bulgaria The kingdom is bankrupt the people are
in starvation and revolt the Turks are threatening them
on one side and the Germans are bleeding thera on the
other while the allies are about to destroy the army and
occupy the country.
Well may Bulgaria sue for peaceI But can she make
peace any successfully than she can make war? In
control Of every division Of the Bulgar army is Ger
man. German field marshal directs the Bulgar strategy
Germany controls the railroads and the financial system
the transportation and supply systems and the iasOns
with the other enemy armies. King Ferdinand may pro-
pose peace, but Germany than likely to dispose
Of him. He has appealed in vain to Field Marshal Mack
for help but Mackensen has his hands full in Rou-
manai where the people under pucky Queen Maries in
spaton refusing to be bound to the German chariot
Ferdinand's flight from Sofia would not be surprising
incident just He is wise bird as well as foul one
and can smell trouble from affair."
The United States not take part in the smash up
Of Bulgaria, much Americans would enjoy doing So
The American has not seen fit to regard Bull
gara enemy But fortunately the other allies have
taken Bulgarias measure and will not permit her to wig
gle out of their grasp by any true false peace prOpos
ais If Bulgaria is actually in extremis and must get
peace at any price, the allies will give her peace at their
price, If she is attempting treachery the attempt will be
in vain, for the allies forces will continue their advance
on Sofia
which Bulgaria or any other of the enemy nations can
obtain breathing space in which to hand the
sword In Bugara's it goes without saying that
the allies will make any peace which does not take
into full account the rights of Serbia and Greece These
nations, which betrayed by Bulgaria at the begin
ming of this war; will demand the restitution of invaded
territory sine qua of peace negotiations; then
reparation and guarantees That part Of Macedonia
which is Serbas must be restored to Serbia and that
part of Greece whic vlianonsy delivered to
Bulgaria by the traitor Constantine must be handed back
The Greek soldiers whom he caused to be betrayed into
German hands must be returned safely to their
try. In word the devltry perpetrated by Bulgaria
der German inspiration must be wiped out before Bull
gara expect to ward off the avenging sword 1t Bull

not comply with these conditions then the sword must
do its work.
If the allies should consult the United States
ing the Bulgarian proposal they likely to do not
wthstanding Americas nonparcipation in against
Bulgaria and Turkey, the advice from this government
undoubtedly will be strongly against armistice except
upon the unconditional surrender of Bulgaria. The allies
in consultation upon the matter, and it is
surfing to know that NJ Pachtch premier of Serbia is in
Paris in touch with M. Clemenceau Serbia is better
acquainted with the details of Bugarias treacery to the
allies than the French of British governments can pos
sby be, and Serbia knows exactly what conditions must
be imposed in order to attain justice liberty and peace
in the Balkans.
Bugarias squeal is the forerunner Of squeals from
Turkey, Austra-Hungary and Germany Let the good
work go on! Blessed the peace-makers the great
guns of the allies that laundering every 'front.'
Foch, Hag, Pershing Diaz Alenby, dEsperey, 0tani
and the other generals doing Gods work when they
smash down the enemy defenses and batter their way to
the heart of the outlaw empires Liberty will make the
proper wind of peace-W Washington Post.
