BULGARIA'S ATTITUDE in
THE PEACE CONFERENCE
(By Associated Press.)

| Wy f1SoOCiukOu iCSo'J
Sofia, Bulgaria, Jan. 1.-One of thu
principal causes which contributed
towards the rupture Of Bulgaria with
Germany, was the treatment by tht
latter Of the Dobrudja question
which robbed Bulgaria of the pros.
pect of attaining her national aspira.
tions, and the tendency of Germany
to favor Turkeys claim to the rest0r.
alton Of the strip of territory in
Thrace, which the Turks under Ger
man pressure had ceded to Bulgaria
in September, 1915, as the price G.
Bulgaria's cooperation in the war,
When German diplomacy, early in
September of this year, realized that
Bulgaria was bent on withdrawing
from the war, serious attempt was
made to conciliate the Bulgarian gov
ernment by the abandonment Of the
condominium established in the north
ern Dobrudja and protocol to this
effect was signed in Berlin between
the Central Allies. It was then
hoped that this concession would in
duce Bulgaria to continue the war but
ii proved to be without success.
The feeling produced both In Ber-
lin and Vienna by this development
can be readily imagined. The former
Austro-Hungarian Foreign Minister,
Baron Burian, in conversation with
M. Focheff, the Bulgarian Minister In
Vienna, was moved to wratAful In
oignation and described M. Malinoff.
the Bulgarian Premier, as traitor.
There Is much irritation in Bulgaria
over the Dobrudja question. The Bull
garian government, which, in Its sew
eral conversations with the German
Austrian ministers at Sofia declared
itself content to reserve the question
of the Dobrudja settlement by the
Peace Congress, maintains the same
attitude today. The government
hopes that the fact that Bulgaria was
the first state to withdraw from the
war, and thus hasten the conclusion
of general peace, will not be over
looked.
The scarcity of foodstuffs in Bull
garia constitutes serious problem
for the government and il supplies
are not soon forthcoming, there is
great danger of famine. One cause
of this dearth of supplies was the
wholesale and systematic draining OF
the country's resources by the Ger
mans who, instead os afeinforcins the
Macedonian front. garFisoned the In
terror Of bulgaria with the sole object
of collecting the produce Of the coun-
:ryfor dispatch to Germany. When
the present government put an end to
this expectation, the Germans resorted
to the ruse OF posting parcels through
their own field post, and thus practi-
cally every German soldier became an
exporter. The Bulgarian government

Assurance Of big opening day was
given by H. e. Snow, one of the ex-
ecutive commmittee, and an ardent
Shriner, who said the ceremonial OF
Egypt Temple OF the Mystic Shrine on
Feb. II will draw at least 1000 No

During the discussion yesterday, Pres
ident Brorein brought out that the
men who are pushing the fair move

in order that 1t may be financed, as
we'll as giving them from their busi-
ness, are doing 80 for the benefit Of

II believe the public knows that the
fair is not a profit-making corpora"
tion, and that everything taken in Is
devoted to the attraction features" Mr..
Brorein said. "But too great empha-
sis can not be laid on the publIc-spir-
itedness of the men, not only here but
in other counties where they work
to get together representative exhib-
its who give their time and energy
to its promotion.
Especial thanks is also due to the
newspapers, who help the state
through the assistance they give the
fair, and II is matter Of gratifca-
tion that the two Tampa dailies are
generously offering their columns for
every news development concerning
