BULGARIA DEPRESSED
BY TERMS OF ALLIES
viii Not Insure Peace in the Balkans,
Declares Minister of War
Madiaroff

Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept, 26 (By Cour-
ier to Paris, Oct S)-The terms Of
peace prescribed by the Allies to Bul-
garia, a summary of which reached
Sofia by telegraph, produced profound
disappointment and depression through
out the country. The people, press
government were unanimous in con
deming them as harsh and humili-
ating Young King Boris was much
grieved when he read the anopnce-
ment of the terms. He had not be
lieved Bulgaria would be stripped of
Thrace, its entire coast line on the
Aegean and part of its western
frontier.
Minister of War Madjaroff. formerly
Bulgarian Minister to London. declar-
ed to The Associated Press that Bull
garia might for the moment be humil-
lated and crushed, but she would rise
imp again with renewed strengthit
might be FIVE years from now, il might
be ten, it might he twenty. but rise
she would Her "just military and
territorial desires might be repressed
by the force of superior numbers, but
her spirit, which was eternal, could
not be suppressed by any power on
earth"
The Bulgarians, he continued, were
a patient. forbearing people, with
whom patriotism and national honor
were a passion, There could be no
peace in the Balkans under such an
unjust territorial arrangement as
the Peace Conference had laid down.
Bulgaria would have to prepare to re-
sist the invasion of its soil by her
hostile neighbors, which sooner or
later was inevitable She could not
attain her normal, economic, political
or social growth under the harsh pro
visions" of the treaty She might
be compelled out of self preservation
il the terms were not modified, to
resort to drastic expidents. He was
not prepared to say what these were.

Huntington, w. Va. Nov. 3.-Accord-
ing to a report issued here tonight by
the West Virginia Coal association
the first definite break in the ranks of
the striking coal miners came today
when fifteen union mines in the north
ern fields of the state resumed oper
ations.
w. II. Cunningham, secretary of the
association who gave the report to
newspapermen, said that the operators
of West Virginia were encouraged
with the outlook, and announced that
employers from those districts paraly2-
ed by the strike will meet in Charles

invitation will be extended to the
striking miners to return to work.

that indications pointed to a quick

that men in numerous sections of the

what happens
Washington, Nov. 9-Official Wash
ngton was firm in the belief tonight
that the end of the coal strike was
near.
There was nothing definite or tangi-
bic in the way of actual developments
to justify this hopeful view of the sit
uation, but everywhere the feeling pre-
vailed that influences were being
brought to bear to have the strikers,
numbering more than 100000, return
to work.
Confidential reports to the depart
ment of justice from its agents in the
coal fields were said to show many
defections from the ranks of the strik-
ers. Some of the reports said that
large numbers of idle miners had de.
clared they wanted to return to work,
but were afraid.
In this connection, officials reiterated
that adequate protection would be CIV
en-. There was no specific statement
as to how this would be provided,
but it was explained that troops would
be available at the call of any COVER
nor who believed it necessary to pre-
serve order or protect workers.
