Birds of a feather flock together, we
are told, but what il the birds are wood
There's a problem for you to solve And
while you are puzzling over it, Bobby
and / will trot off to see the sly old
parrots, which. to be be sure, are made
of wood, but which we like much better
than real ones, because they can't peck
at us, or scold. And, In fact. these par
rots rival any bird whose plumage Is
the most brilliant. Gorgeous red back
shades into tail feathers of black. and
here and there you will find touch Of
yellow or green. Each bird swings
sedately back and forth on his perch,
and each and every one will delight the
heart Of your boy or girl. The price Of
one of these toys is only fifty cents.

Armies Are Facing Appalling
Disaster.

London.-Her armies face to face
with a terrible debacle, and King
Ferdinand's throne tottering, Bulgaria
asked for an armistice of AZ hours,
with the object of discussing peace.
The armistice was fatty denied. Ac-
credited Bulgarian delegates will be
received, however, by General Fran
Chef d'Esperey, allied Commander In
Chief in Macedonia, to whom the otfer
was made.
First news of the Bulgarian bid came
from Paris, whittier it had been OIL

Nv aftedward Lord Robert Cecil, For
eign Minister Balfour's right-hand

All Sions Point to Big Success For
Issue-Many Cities ALREADY Over

Washington.--All reports coming
into the Treasury Department ON the
Fourth Liberty bond sales Indicate
that the new loan will be an even
greater success than the earlier ones.
Few estimates on the sales have been
received, in addition to the messages
from the list of smaller cities which
had planned quick action and which
subscribed their full quotas in the
early hours of Saturday. New YORK
is an exception. Her committee wired
Washington that the metropolis had
subscribed $2OO,O00,0O0, or one-ninth
of the districts quota. The entire
country, even the remote rural dis
tricts, will be at full speed in the bond
selling. Atlanta, where the sales on
the third loan Jagged somewhat early,
is geared to big production. Several
counties have gone over the top al

Rernstorff Is Marooned.

Washington.-Coun Won Bernstorff,
former Ambassador from Germany to
the United States, is reported to be
marooned in ConstantinOple as re-
suit of Bulgaria's surrender to the al
lies. In view of the possibility of Tur-
key following the example of Bulgaria,
Count Bernstorf7s position is an en-
harrassing one, and his only apparent
way of escape now is to cross the
Black Sea to Odessa and then reach
Germany through Russia.

proclamation to operators and miners
alike the Fuel Administrator calls
upon all to enlist in detailed program

Gus coal and 2,O3O,00O tons of anthra-
cite every week. This tonnage, he
promises, will give the country all the

PRICE OF PEACE
IMPARTIAL JUSTICE
TO ALL NATIONS
PRINCIPLES TO END WORLD WAR
DO NOT INCLUDE "TERMS"
LAID DOWN BY HUNS.
No Selfish Combines Will Be Allowed,
President Tells Workers For Fourth
Loan - Germans Must Remove
Source of Insecurity.

New York.-The price of peace will
| be impartial justice to all nations, the
| fundamentally indispensable to Sc
| cure it is a league of nations formed
not before or after, but at the peace
conference, and Germany as mem
Der, Twill have to redeem her charac-
| ter, not by what happens at the peace,
but by what follows" This was Pres
ident Wilson'S answer, given before an
audience of fourth liberty loan work
ers here, to the recent peace talk from
| the Central Powers, although he did
not refer specifically to the utterances
of enemy leaders. Peace was not
question, declared the President, of
| Coming to TERMS" for 1--WE can not
come to terms with Them as they
have made it impossible" Peace must
be guaranteed, for there will be par
ties to the peace whose promises have
proved untrustworthy and means must
be found in connection with the peace
settlement to remove that source of
insecurity
"It would be folly to leave the guar
antee to the subsequent voluntary ac-
ton of the Governments we have seen
destroy Russia and deceive Rouma-
MA" continued the President. The
President emphasized that the justice
to be obtained by the league must in
vOlve no discrimination toward any
people This he set forth explicitly in
set of five principles, which he emu
merated as "the practical program" OF
Americas peace terms, and for the
maintenance of which 'the United
States is prepared to assume its full
share of responsibility" These prin-
ciples were, he said:
81. The impartial justice meted out
must involve no discrimination be
tween those to whom we wish to be
lust and those to whom we do not wish
to be just 1t must be justice that
plays no favorites, and knows no
standard but the equal rights of the
several peoples concerned
20. No special or separate interest
of any single nation or any group or
nations can be made the basis of any
part of the settlement which is not
consistent with the common interests
of all.
"3. There can be no league or alli-
ances or special covenants and under
standing within the general and COM
mon family of the league of nations.
a. And more specifically, there can
be no special, selfish economic comDi-
nations within the league and no boy
colt or exclusion except as the power
of economic penalty by exclusion from
the markets of the world may be vest
ed in the League of Nations itself as
means of discipline and. control
-. All international agreements
and treaties of every kind must be
made known in their entirety to the
rest of the world"

PariS-Several regiments belonging
to Austrian garrisonS in Bulgaria nave
mutinied and massacred their ofiicerss
according to word from Salonlkl re-
ceived here.
Western Newspaper Union News Service
London.-News that Bulgaria had
Welded to the allies terms was re-
ceived. Reuters Limited states that
Bulgaria's surrender was uncondltlon-
al. The Serbian legation received an
nouncement of the Bulgarian surren-
der. Strong belief exists here that
peace offer from Turkey is imminent.
The armistice concluded with Bulgaria
nv the Entente Allies is purely mill
tary convention and contains no pro-
visions of political character Bull
earia agrees to evacuate all the terrl-
tory she now occupies in Greece ana
Serbia, to demobilize her army lmme-
diately, and surrender all means OF
transport to the allies.
Bulgaria also will surrender her
boats and control of navigation on
the Danube and concede to the allies
free passage through Bulgaria for the
development of military operations.
All Bulgarian arms and ammunition
are to be stored under the control or
the allies, to whom is conceded the
right to occupy all important strategic
points. The Associated Press learns
that the military occupation of But
garia will be intrusted to Britishy
French and Italian forces and the
evacuated portions of Greece and Ser
bia respectively to Greek and Serbian
troops The armistice means COM
plete military surrender and Bulgaria
ceases to be a belligerent. All ques-
lions of territorial arrangements IN
the Balkans was puFposely omitted
from the convention. The allies made
no stipulation concerning King Ferd1-
nand, his position being considered an
internal matter, one for the Bulgari-
ans themselves to deal with.
The armistice will remain in opera
ton until final general peace is con-
Guided Certain subsidiary conditions,
the Central News says, were submit
ted by the Bulgarian Government.
These, however, confiicted in no way
with the demands of the allied COM
mand, which demands the BulgarianS
accepted Internationally. The prompt
acceptance of the allies terms by the
Bulgarians was a surprise to the news
papers and to the public.
