Paris.-Under the terms of the
treaty of peace with Bulgaria the de-
feated Balkan nation agrees to:
Reduce her army to 10000 men and
gendarmerie to 10000.
Surrender her warships and SUBJ
marines to the Allies.
Recognize the independence of
Jugo-Slavia and return property taken
from that state during the war.
cede western Thrace to the Allies
for future disposition.
Modify her frontier in four places i'm
favor of Serbia and compensate Serbia
for stolen coal.
Pay $3.50, 100000 in gold as repa-
ration for damages.
Renounce the treaties of Brest-Li-
tovsk and Bucharest.
The treaty of peace between the
allied and associated powers and Bull
garia was presented to the Bulgarian
mission at the French foreign office.
After the delegates had assembled
Georges Clemenceau, president of the
Peace Conference, spoke briefly in
opening the cesion. He was followed
by General Theodoroff, head of the
Bulgarian mission.
NJ. TheOdoroff spoke for fifteen min
utes, pleading that the Bulgarian pc D
pie were not responsible for the war,
but that the Bulgarian government had
thrown the country into the struggle.
He realized, however, he said, that the
people must share the responsibility.
'They are wiling to do So" he said,
"but feel that in no way have they
committed such a crime as will COM
pei them to accept servitude."
King Ferdinand and Vasell Radosla-
voff, Bulgarian foreign minister in
1914, were blamed for Bulgaria's entry
into the war by NJ Theodoroff. He
said the Bulgarian people did not ap-
prove of the German alliance, which,
he declared, "came to them as a
cataclysm," but they realized they
must accept part of the responsibility!
1--WE have committed faults" he
said, "and we shall bear their con-
sequences within the bounds of equity
but there is punishment no crime can
justify, and that is servitude."
Each of the twenty-seven govern
ments participating in the conference,
including Rumania, was present. Frank
l.. Polk, head of the United States
delegation, sat on NJ Clemenceaus S
right and Sir Eyre Grove. the new
British plenipotentiary to the Peace
Conference, sat on the presidents left.
The Bulgarian delegates, NJ. Theodo-
rolf, NJ. Ganeff, NJ. Sakessof, NJ. Stam-
builiwsky and NJ. Harzoff, entered after
the other delegates, who rose when
the enemy representatives appeared.
The Bulgarians showed courteous con-
fidence in their demeanor.
The delivery of the treaty was
marked by little ceremony. Led by Gen.
Theodoroff the Bulgarians entered the
foreign office, their dark visages show
sharply with the pale, drawn coun-
tenances displayed by the German
Observation-Disclosures at the Versailles cere-
mony and with DR.. Renner's almost
jovial appearance on the occasion of
the Austrian treaty signature at st.
Germain.
They were ushered into the large
dining room where the plenary sessions
of the Peace Conference formerly
were held-a departure from the
course adopted with the German and
Austrian delegations, which were not
allowed to come to Paris.
The Bulgarians have been in Paris
since July % and have been living III
the beautiful Chateau de Madrid, in
the Bois de Bologne. They have been
allowed graf freedom of movement and
have frequently been seen promenad-
ing the street in the warm sunshine.
Last Sunday two of them were seen
apparently deeply interested in watch
ing the running of the Omnibus Stakes
from a vantage point outside the Long
champs race track.
