.DOBRUDCA MATTER
CAUSED BULCAR-
GERMAN SPLIT
tBy Associated Press)


SOFIA, Bulgaria, Jan. 1.-One of
the principal causes which contributed
towards the rupture of Bulgaria with
Germany, was the treatment by the
latter of the Dobrudja question, which
robbed Bulgaria of the prospect Of at
tanning 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 in September, 1915,
as the price of 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
eminent 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. 1t was then hoped
that this concession would induce Bull
garia to continue the war but it 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 wrathful indig-
nation and described NJ. Malinoff, the
Bulgarian premier, as a traitor.
There is much irritation in Bulgaria
over the Dobrudja question. The Bull
garian government, which, in it's 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 a
general peace, will not be overlooked
The scarcity of foodstuffs in Bull
garia constitutes a serious problem for
the government, and if 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 coun-
try'S resources by the Germans who
instead of reinforcing the Macedonian
front, garrisoned the interior of Bull.
garia with the sole object of collect
ing the produce of the country for
dispatch to Germany. When the pres
ent government put an end to this ex-
portation, the Germans resorted to the
ruse of posting parcels through their
own field post. and thus practically
every German soldier became an ex-
porter. The Bulgarian government
was powerless to prevent the practice.

HOW SWITZERLAND HANDLES THE BoLsHEvIKI PROBLEM


Switzerland has taken drastic
and effective method Of dealing
with Bolshevism which for time
threatened the life of the little
nation. The Bolshevik mission had
a representative in Switzerland at
the close of the war. He was
tolerated on his agreement to re-
frain from all propaganda activi-
ties. A general strike throughout
the country was traced to the Boil
sheviks. Their minister and his
associates were ordered out of the
country. When they refused to
leave voluntarily the Swiss au-
thorities escorted them to the rail-
road station at Berne and placed
them on a train bound for Russia.
Swiss troops prevented any DEM
onstration by fellow Bolsheviks.

 Incidentally, the adjoining towns will be greatly damaged by the loss of residents and depreciation of property but of course the trolley managers don't care anything about that"
 Milford will be hit harder than any of the other surrounding towns. The fare from Bridgeport to Milford has been boosted from 2 to 24 cents The great injustice of this will be seen when it is understood that a com mutation ticket between Milford and Bridgepor for three months costs $l210 while it will cost those who use the trolley for the same tme S384O. There are more than 2,O0O workers who reside in Milford and go to Bridgeport every day to work who will be hit very hard by the new scale unless they reside near enough to the station to commute.
 There is an adjourned town meet ing this evening at the town hall in Milford and 1t is believed that some sort of protest will be voiced at the meeting and an attempt will be made to have some action taken
