THE PROSPECT AHEAD IS EllR

The news the Times Republican Of
yesterday carried TO its readers was
perhaps the biggest of the war in its
significance. Bulgaria's acceptance Of
the terms of the allies amounts TO com
pete and unconditional surrender. 1t
indicates an acute crisis. That Turkey
will follow with a peace proffer is the
conclusion Of war leaders. And when
bulgaria was begging for peace the
armies on the west front were smash

Wei. when Billy Bunny was safe

little black book.

the old professor bird took out his
book and turned over the pages until
he came to something lac liked and
then he began To read. THE early

"Ha, ha," laughed the little rabbit,
Il must tell that to mother. She
always tells il the other way round
And then off he hoped and the old
black bird flew away to his tree in
Kalamazoo. For that was the name
OF the little village where Prof. Crow
had his home. and where he taught in
the village school arithmetic and the
Golden Rule, and sometimes Latin and
sometimes Greek. and anything else
