 And the charms of cabaret? After I've known but the tent and

BULCARS' REPLY TO PEACE PACT
 MILD iN TOME

Paris, Oct. 24-BuIgar's answer to the terms of peace presented her by the allied and associated powers is moderate in tone and adheres unre- servedIy to the clauses concerning the League Of Nations and labor. It accepts the principle of the protec ton of minoriues in Bulgaria.
 On the other hand, the reply makes reservations regarding separations, and protests especially against the total sum demanded of Bulgaria. It asks for the suppression of interest charges and requests an extension of the time limit for payment. Regard ing the military classes, Bulgaria ob- jects to the voluntary enlistment system, maintaining that conScription alone can produce sufficient forces to maintain order.
 The longest part of the reply con cerns territorial clauses and protests against modified tions of frontiers on ethnical grounds and quoting masses of statistics proposes notably a, plebis- cite in Thrace and it's formation into an autonomous state. The impress sion prevails in conference circles that the allies are not likely to con- sent to any extensive modified uon of the original terms.

 It was made known that the pro posed anti-strike legislation would be one of the subjects to be discussed at the forthcoming conference here of union labor chiefs.
 In line with the call from President Gompers for financial support of the street strike, Johnston announced that an assessment of $1 a week on the entire membership of the Ma chinists' association as a defense fund" would be proposed next month.
