O0bRUDJA CAUSED GERMAN.bUlGAR|A RUPTURE BELIEVED

Sofia, Bulgaria, Nov. 31.-(Corres- pondence of the Associated Press.) - One of the principal causes which contributed towards the rupture of Bulgaria with Germany. was the treatment by the latter of the Dob- rudja question, which robbed Bull garia of the prospect of attaining her national aspirations, and the tendency of Germany to favor Tur- keys claim to the restoration of the strip of territory in Thrace, which the Turks under German pressure, had ceded to Bulgaria ill September, 1915, at the price of Bulgaria's CO., operation 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 government by the abandonment of the condominium established in the northern Dobrudja and 8 protocol to this effect was signed in Berlin !between the Central Allies. It was then hoped that this concession would induce Bulgaria to continue the war but it proved to be with out success.
 The feeling produced both in Ber- lin and Vienna by this development can be readily imagined. The former AustrolHungarian Foreign Minister Baron Burian, ill a conversation with M Focheff, the Bulgarian minister, in Vienna, was moved to Wrathful ind of M off, the Bulgarian Premier, as a trai- tor.
 There is much irritation in Bul- garia over the Dobrudja question. The Bulgarian government, which, i1l it's several conversations with the 'GermanAustrian ministers at Sofia declared itself content to re- serve 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 overlooked.
 The scarcity of foodstuffs ill Bull garia constitutes q serious problem for the government, and if supplies are not soon forthcoming, there is great danger of a famine. Ona cause of this dearth of supples was the wholesale and systematic drain- age of; the country's resources by the Germans who, instead of reinforcing the Macedonian front, garisoned the interior of Bulgaria with the sole ob- ject of collecting the produce of the country for dispatch to Germany. When the present govdrnment put an end to this eXportation, the Ger mans resorted to the ruse of posting parcels through their own field post, and thus practically every German soldier became an exporter. The Bulgarian government was power less to prevent the practice.

PRESIDENT ACTING As ARMY
 COMMANDER.

Now that hositilities are over and the President of the United States is in Europe for the purpose of making the victory of the allies complete by his wise diplomatic counsel, the Re- publicans see an opportunity to make campaign material from this fact. Even Senator Lodge, who, during the war. supported most of the war meas uses. has been cast to help repair the broken fences of the G. o. F. Tn this he is supported by Senator Knox and other Republicans in the upper housr These gentlemen can not view without alarm the victory of peace which they foresee as result of Dr. Wilson's wise counsel, and are trying to stem the tide before their party is swamped.
 The country is for complete vic tory, and the forecasts of the peace conference indicate that the Wilson theories will prevail. If so the vic- tory won on the battle fields will be complete and made permanent by the adoption of the theories advanced by the President.
 It is noticeable that the Republi. cans are busy casting their net of propaganda from the fact that papers largely imbued with Republicanism arc attempting to create the impress sion that there exists considerable antagonism between the President and Premier Clemenceau. Yet reports of the meeting of the Prsident and the premier stated that both statesmen seem to be in perfect accord. ln fact the Premier stated that President Wilson said Two will talk together, may convince you, and you may con- vince me-" Perhaps more straight forward utterance was never uttered. Not the accepted form of diplomacy, perhaps. but there is that spirit Of give and take which is noticeable in all that the President has to say.
 The reply of Senator Lewis to the Presidents critics put them on no. tice that the country was wise to their methods, and as he stated. they would come to their knees w..en the PreSi- dent goes to the country with his prin- ciples.
 Senator Lewis served notice on the opposition that ill his present capacity President Wilson was acting as com- mander in chief of the army, and not as President of the United States. Peace has not been declared, and the commander in chief of the American army is in Europe for the purpose of negotiating a peace with the late belligerents that will be a lasting peace, and one which he knows the country will approve.
 Another fact which Senator Lewis uttered in arraigning the critics of the President and his policies is con- taiped iu ta;s appropriate para graph:
 ! inform the European negotiators and the world that there is no law of America. by consultation, statute or1custom by which the Preiident is under any obligation to supmis wha he is doing to the senate or any otnel legislative or executive body"

think the same. Maybe you are eating
three square meals a day, but can't gain
in strength because you don't assimilate
your food. Or maybe you are nervous,
easily excited, can't sleep, get weak and
tremble, have floating specks before your
eyes, bloating and gas on your stomach
and a bad case of indigestion. Compare
your case with that of Mrs Anna Nickel

MUCH ANXIETY IN JAPAN
Over the Shortage of Rice Crop During
the Past Year.

Toxic, Jan. 30 Correspondence of the
Associated Pressl.-The shortage Of the
rice crop is causing unusual anxiety
throughout Japan. The crop this year Is
30,000,000 bushels less than the average.
As the annual consumption is 300,000,O 90
bushels, the supply for the next year is
short exactly 10 per cent. Riceless days
are suggested bt it is not easy to adopt
the plan of western countries and enforce
riceess days, after the example of wheat
less days.
In America, wheat bread forms a rela-
lively small part of the daily food
whereas in Japan and all eastern eoun-
tries, rice is consumed in large quantities
and constitutes the real meal, the other
food articles being of the nature of rel
ishes or side dishes, so while the phrase
''riceiess days" is easily spoken, it would
practically mean foodless days for the
mass of the people
The situation is perplexing not only
from the food point Of view, but also po-
litically. There was d rice riot on Dec.
Is at Toyama in the interior.
The working class during the past year
wasted rice, They were earning large
war wages and were able to leave their
scantier diet of coarse sweet potatoes and
the like, and eat as much frst-class rice
as they wanted. If they are compelled
to return to their old diet it is feared
they may become tumultuous Some pre-
dict that rice viii reach the equivalent
of So hushel before next autumn.

FAVORS MORAL SUPPORT
FROM ENTENTE TO RUSSIA
Declares That Bolsheviki Must Be Sup
pressed, But By Russians Rather
Than By Foreigners.

Vladivostok, Jan. 30 Correspondence
of the Associated PressD~-General Boil
dereff, member Of the erstwhile Ufa di.
rectorate which was abolished by the
0msk cabinet at the time Of Admiral
kolchak's elevation to the supreme ruler
ship, favors moral and material support
from allies to Russia, instead of military
aid, on the ground that a people or fac
tion of a population which il overcome
by military force is inevitably source
of future trouble. He says the bolsheyiki
must be suppressed, but by Russians
rather than by foreigners, and by moral
suasion and campaign of education
rather than by force of arms.
General Boldereff would like the allies
to hold the bolshefiki at bay until Rus
sian army can be formed which will be
able to cope with them. What Russia
requires now" he said, is only that the
allies give sufficient military aid, backed
saner elements in the population to mus
ter their forces and take control of af-
fairs
General BoldereG declines to have any.
thing to do with the government as at
present constituted in spite of urgent in
yitations to align himself with the new
order of affairs.
The coup d tat which elevated Ad-
miral Kolchak to a virtual dictatorship
of the Omsk government, in his opinion
was an unfortunate development which
might have been avoided had each ele.
ment in the Omsk coalition been willing
to make concessions. The Ufa govern
ment was handicapped by lack OF funds
and the only way to make their influence
felt appeared to be by joining forces with
the Omsk government and striving for a
plan upon which they could cooperate.
There was lack of confidence from the
start and Chernov, former minister of
agriculture in the Kerensky cabinet, who
was attached to the coalition government
jim a minor capacity, precipitated the coup
by charging the right element with bad
faith and calling upon the social revolu-
tionists to rise
General Boldereff was at the front
when other members of the directorate
were arrested. He was invited to asso-
eate himself with the kolchak forces
but declined

SERVICE INSURANCE
MAY BE CONVERTED
Government Will Permit Transfer With
in Five Years, According to Plan
Announced BY War Risk In
surance Bureau

Washington, D. c., Jan. 3l.--Conditions
under which soldiers or sailors now hold
ing government life insurance may con
vert these policies within five years into
other forms which can be carried with
the government during their life time
were announced to-day by Colonel Henry
D, Lnsley of the war risk insurance bu-
reau Rates will be made public soon
and the new policies will not be avail
able until then.
There will be six different kinds of in
surance-ordinary life, 20-payment life,
30-payment life, 20-year endowment, 80
year endowment and endowment payable
at the age of 81. All policies will con
tain clauses providing that in case of
permanent total disability of the insured
man, the government will make monthly
payments to him and premium payments
will cease. This amounts virtually to
oldage pensioning and disability insur-
ance, and insures that no man who has
served in the army or navy need ever be
destitute if he carries the government in
surance.
All policyholders will participate in
dividends, and earnings of over 3b per
cent from the insurance fund win go into
dividends. Since the reserves will be in
vested in government securities, most of
which will pay in the neighborhood of
AZ per cent, there will be large divi-
dends to be returned periodically to pol
icyholders.
Collections of premiums win be made
through postmasters in each community.
Although the rates have not yet been
announced, Colonel Lindsey stated to-
day they would be so low that officials
of private insurance companies which as
sisted in drafting the rate schedule had
admitted their companies could not com
pete with them
Any man now in military or naval
service holding government term life in
surance can obtain the new forms, but
the amount will be limited to his pres
ent holdings, which in no case are more
than $4,000. The government urges all
men to continue to carry their present
policies but to convert these as soon as
they are financially able within the next
five years, The government itself and
not private companies will carry these
converted policies, it was emphasized
The war risk insurance bureau to-day
reported that 4,4S0,000 policies have al.
ready been issued to soldiers and sailors
for insurance aggregating 500, 232 ,O0O, 900,
or an average of 1886 on each man

quarters to ascertain why the two had
been absent from classes.
The sole clew, the police said to-day,

Chinese who met him at the door when
he went to call on Dr. Wong Wednes-
day, According to the police, the strang-
