PUBLIC PRINTER URGES
NEW HOME FOR CP. 0,
Expansion Of Work Neceesitates
Larger Quarters. He Says In
Annual Report.

Recommendation for a new build
ing to house. the Government Printing
Office were made by Cornelius Ford,
Public Printer. in his annual report to
the Senate and House, made public to-
day.
He pointed out that expansion of
the work Of the office had entailed
the use Of the old building, a struc-
ture that is unsafe, and that has been
conde nned several times and urged
upon the legislators the erection OF a
new structure in sections, SO that the
work could be transferred gradually
from its present location to the new
one.
He also called attention to the need
for retirement legislation for en-
ployes whose age no longer enables
them to give the Government the
omy and efficiency demand the retire
ment of such persons and the appoint
ment of younger ones in their places.
Advocation of increased compensa-
ton for the clerical force was voiced.
Because of low remuneration rore
than 200 employees leave the force an
nually. The handicap to production
is obvious, and increased pay Is
strongly advisable, stated the report.
An unexpended balance Of 50 342.-
675.69 is left from the combined re-
sources OF 81 1850. 721 So for 1919 The
printer recon- nended the utilization
of some Of this surplus for improy,-
ments and much needed additional fs
cilities of various kinds.

REVOLT IN THRACE
STYLED AS FICTION
Bulgarian Minister Repu-
dates Greciun Reports.

WASHINGTON, Sept lS.-The Bulga-
rian Minister. stephen Panaretoff. issued
an Official statement to-day taking issue
with recent dispatches from Athens
picturing resistance to Bulgarian rule
In western Thrace.
The Athens dispatches stated that
Turks and Greeks had Joined In the
movement; that Bulgarian authorities
had covered western Thrace with Com
itadjis'' and arrested Mussulman Depu-
ties OF the Bulgarian Parliament who
protested against Bulgarian rule and
that in endeavoring to force the popula-
ton to sign declarations to the Peace
Conference in favor Of Bulgarian rule
the Bulgarians had precipitated an
armed conflict between Turks and Bull
CARS.
All this the Bulgarian Minister contro-
verts in the following statement:
The Turks of western as well as
eastern Thrace do not desire any Greek
rule, as a recent despatch from Con-
stantlnople affirmed, saying that II
Thrace should be given to Greece the
Turkish population would revolt en-
masse.
THE Mussulman Deputies of the Bull
garian Parliament last March publicly
declared in their own name and that
Of their coreligionists that they are
opposed to Greek rule and perfectly
satisfied with that of Bulgaria They
denounced the alleged appeal to Vent
zelos to be put under Greek rule and
protection as a fake and its assertions
utterly unfounded.
"a delegation Of Thracian Turks
started some time ago to go to Paris
and portest against their country being
handed over to Greece but as access to
the conference was denied to them they
proceeded no further than Rome. There
are not nor can there be any comitadjis
in western Thrace because the country
is practically under the control and
supervision of allied military forces
The two places where the revolt Is said
to have come to head are fiction,
for there are no such places In the
country OF Gomuldjine. The whole
story undoubtedly comes from a Greek
source"
