RUMANIA SPLIT
 HUN ALLIANCE
 WITH BULGARIA

Sofia, Bulgaria, April 2S.---(Corre- spondence of The Associated Press.) ---The Treaty of Bucharest between Rumania and the Central Powers which terminated Rumania's partici- patton in the war was the grave Of the alliance between Bulgaria, Ger many and Austria, declares Andrew Liaptcheff,- Bulgaria. Minister of War. Under the terms of this treaty Bulgaria was compelled to surrender to Turkey part of the valley of the Maritza river in Thrace. This and other events disiIluzionized the Bull garians, according to NJ Iitptchef-
 Reviewing to the Associated Press correspondent the cirmustances which convinced Bulgaria that Germany was playing false, the Minister said:
 Former King Ferdinand was con- vinced of the military supremacy of Germany but his government refused to give troops for other fronts than those of the Balkans and, in spite of high pressure from the Germans it refused to sever relations with the United States
 This restraint and the openly avowed displeasure of Bulgarians against Germans, who aimed to con quer economically the country, dis enchanted Germany in her plan of supremacy from Berlin to BaSdad with Bulgaria as 3 necessary con necting link. Thereupon Germany assumed a very distrustfuI and cool attitude toward her little ally.
 "The result was that in the Bu- charest Peace Treaty of 1918 Bulgaria was very ill treated. Instead of get ting new acquisitions she was to sur render her old ones by giving up to Turkey the southern valley of the lower Martiza. The army perceived clearly the falsity of Germany and the people saw the danger which threatened their political and eco homie freedom. The formal breach was only a question of time.''
 M. Iliaptcheff asserted that Bulgaria could have cancelled the partial sue cess of the Entente offensive in the Balkans which terminated Bulgaria. s participation in the war if Bulgaria had been aiming at military success | instead of political results. He said
 that Bulgaria at that time was chiefly concerned, not in stopping the En- tente advance, but in severing herself from the military grip of her former allies

to andvanced nations who, by reason
 of their resources, their experience or
 their geographical position, can best
 undertake this responsibility, and who
 are willing to accept it, and that this
 tutelage should be exercised by them
 as mandatories on behalf of the
 league.
 The character of the mandate must
 differ according to the stage of the
 development of the people, the geo.
 graphical situation of the territory it's economic condition and other sim
 liar circumstances.
 Certain communities formery be-
 longing to the Turkish Empire have reache5 a stage of development where their existence as independent ma tions can be provisionaI1y recognized
 subject to the rendering of adminis- trative advice and assistance by a
 mandatory until such time as they are able to stand alone. The wishes of these communities must be a principal consideration in the selection of the mandatory.
 Other people, especially those of central Africa, are at such @ stage that the mandatory must be respon-
 sible for the administration of the territory under conditions which will guarantee freedom of conscience or religion subject only to the mafnte- nance of public order and morals, the prohibition of abuses such as the slave trade. the arms traffic and the liquor traffic and the prevention of the establishment of Qualifications or military training of the nations for other than police purposes and the defence of territory and will also se- cure equal opportunities for the trade and commerce of other members of the league.
 There are territories, such as sOueh- west Africa and certain of the south Pacific islands, which, owing to the |sparseness of their population or their small size or their remoteness from | the centres of civilization or their ge- ograDhical contguity to the territory ! Of the mandatory and other circum- stances, can be best administered un- der the laws of the mandatory as in tegral portions of its territory sub Ject to the safeguards above men toned in the interests of the indigo nous population. In every case of mandate the mandatory shall render to the council an annual report in reference to the territory committed to its charge
 The degree of authority, control or I administration to be exercised by the
 mandatory shall, if not previously agreed up by the members of the league, be explicitly defined in each case by the council.
 A permanent commission shall be 1 Constituted to receive and examine the annual report of the mandatories, l and to advise the council on all mat ters relating to the observance of the mandates.
 CThis is the original Article 19, vir- tually unchanged, except for the in sertion of the words and who are willing to accept in describing na- uons to be given mandatories.)
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-04-28
ARTICLE XXW

There shall be placed under the direction of the league all interna- tional bureaus already established by general treaties if the parties to such treaties consent All such interna- tonal bureaus and all commissions for the regulation of matters of inter national interest hereafter constitut- ed shall be placed under the direction of the league.
 On all matters of international in terest which are regulated by general conventions but which are not plac- ed under the control of international bureaus or commissions the secre- tariat of the league shall, subject to the consent of the council and if de- sired by the parties, collect and dis tribute all relevant information and shall render any other assistance which may be necessary or desirable.
 The council may include as part of the expenses of the secretariat the expenses of any bureau or commis- sion which is placed under the di- rection of the league.
 (Same as Article Twenty-two in the original, with the matter after the first two sentences added.)
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-04-28
ARTICLE XVII

In the event of a dispute between a member of the league and a. state which is not member of the league or between states not members of the league, the state or states not members of the league shall be in vtted to accept the obligations of membership in the league for the purposes of such dispute, upon such conditions as the council may deem just. If such invitation is accepted the provisions of Articles XII to XVI inclusive shall be applied with such modifications as may be deem ed necessary by the council.
 Upon such invitation being given the council shall immediately insti- tute an inquiry Into the cfrcum- stances of the dispute and recom- mend such action as may seem best and most effectual in the circum- stances.
 If a state so invited shall refuse to accept the obligations of membership in tho league for the purposes of such dispute, and shall resort to war against a member of the league. the provisions of Article XVI shall be ap- plicable as against the state taking such action.
 If both parties to the dispute, when so invited, refuse to accept the obIi- cations Of membership in the league for the purposes of such dispute. the council may take such measures and make such recommendation as will prevent hostilities and will result in tho settlement of the dispute.
 (Virtually unchanged.)

SODA WATER INVASION.

London, April 28-The soda water invasion is about to begin. and it is expected that a dozen or more mod ern fountains soon will be operating within half a mile of Picadilly Circus, while others will be going full blast in the suburbs.
 This happy promise for the Ameri- cans living here came through the efforts of an American manufacturer who happened to be in London on other business. Inquiry developed that there were few fountains in the city, and these were far from modern. So he set out to sell his wares, and within a week had sold a bill which counted far into the thousands.
 The iced drink business has suf- ferAd a. setback since the war began. Lack of sugar, fruit syrups and milk was so severely felt that the poor imitation of American soda water did not appeal to the Londoner. With the installation of new fountains and a plentiful supply of fruits and milk, it is believed the drink will become popular this summer.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-04-28
ARTICLE XVI.

Should any member of the league resort to war in disregard of its covenants under Article MI, XIII or SV, it shall ipso factor be deemed to have committed an act of war against all other members of the league, which hereby undertake i'm medlately to subject it to the sever ance of all trade or financial rela- tions, the prohibition of all inter course between their nationals and the nationals of the covenant-b break ing member of the league and the prevention of all financial, commer- Cial, or personal intercourse between the nationals of the covenant break ing member of the league and the nationals of any other state, whether a member of the league or not.
 It shall be the duty of the council dn such case to recommend to the several governments concerned what effective military or naval forces the members of the league shall severauv contribute to the armaments of forces to be used to protect the covenants of the league
 Tho members of the league agree, further, that they will mutually sup port one another in the financial and
 
 under this article, in order to min imlze the loss and inconvenience re- sulttng from the above measures. and that they will mutually support one another in resisting any special meas ures aimed at one of their number by the covenant-breaking mem Der of the league, and that they will take the necessary steps to afford passage through their territory to the forces of any of the members of the league which are cooperating to protect the covenants of the league.
 Any member of the league which has violated any covenant of the league may be declared to be no long CT a member of the league by a vote of the council concurred in by the representatives of all the mem bers of the league represented thereon.
 Unchanged except for the addi- ton of the last sentence.)

RUSSIAN TROOPS
 CRY FOR FOOD

With American Forces in North Russia, March ---CCorrespondenc of The Associated Press) - Russian soldiers returning from Germany to their homes in northern Russia find their fatherland vastly changed since they went to war. Scores of these soldiers are passing through the BoI- shevik lines and making their way to the American and other Allied out posts
 They tell tales of pitifuI suffering from hunger in the villages through which they passed. One of them, E. Evlampief of ArchangeI, thus de- scribes his experiences when he re- turned from Germany:
 At Petrograd we were sent to barracks, where a BoIshevik com missar started to read us the Soviet program. The prisoners protested.
 Give up first something to eat, and then read us your program they cried.
 Then the commissar gave up try ing to read the program, saying we were not fit elements for propaganda,
 
 25 rUbles in advance on his salary.
 Famine was reigning in Petro- grad. The first category Cworking people of Bolshevik sympathies) re- ceived one pound of oats daily. The second category received one-pound The citizens grind the oats in cOffes mills, to make flour for bread. For Christmas the Petrograd inha received two potatoes for each per son. A slice of bread is sold for 2J rubIes. There was no tobacco. Peo- pie smoked cabbage and nettle.
 ''The situation at Vologda was the same as in Petrograd. It was fam inc and the population stood in line for bread sometimes for two days. There was no private commerce. The shops were empty.''
 On his way from Fologda toward Archangel commissar tried to coax Evlampieff into serving in the Red army and, on his refusal sent him back to Vologda. A peasant hid him in a load of hay and carried him to his uncle's home in Tornzk. In the villages he passed through, he said, there was famine. The peasants cut straw, cook it.. and make bread. Eventually after a long Journey on foot through the snow Evlampiefi : rached his home in ArchangeL

COUNT VALLEY IS
 REPORTED KILLED

Berlin, Friday, April 25-Count Arco Valley, who assassinated Kurt Eisner, the Bavarian premier, al Munich. on February 21, and has since been in a. hospital there after an attempt at Iynching by a mob, was recently dragged from the hospital by a Spartacan crowd and killed. ac- cording to a political agent who has cached Bamburg from Munich. On witnessing this development Herr Auer, the former minister of the ill- terior who was wounded during the outbreak in the Bavarian Diet in February, and has also been in the hospital, left that institution in fear of death. Former War Minister Rosshaupter has fed from Munich and arrived at Bamberg.
 Many wealthy residents of Munich according to the same soUrce, have been arrested by the Munich ex-f tremists, some of them. however, af- terwards obtaining their release by money payments.

The minister complained that, al
 though Bulgaria had helped to trans port the Entente armies through her territory and supplied them with food even after they had passed into Ser bia and Rumania, the services of Bulgaria were forgotten after the col lapse of Turkey, Austria-Hungary and Germany. According to the arrnis- .tice. he asserted, Bulgaria was to ad
 minister Dobrudja but two months later Bulgaria was asked to evacuate that province and it had to be done in the most pitiable circumstaces."
 The War Minister concluded by saying that the entrance of the Unit ed States into the war had this spe- cial meaning for the Bulgarian peo- ple---that it decided to conquer itself. Firmly convinced of the sublime aim of the United States which seeks to impose upon the nations a new method of solving conflicts" he de clared, the Bulgarian people and army whOle-heartedly accepted and made their own the principles pro- claimed by America because all Bulga- rians believe that the just cause of their race shall triumph and the small people shall see itself united at last"

.EX-CROMN PRINCE. IS BUSY WRITING
 HIS REVELATIONS
Declares He Is Not Idiot Although He Might Look
 Like One.

Copenhagen, April 28-Henry Henson, the well known correspond ent of the BerIingske Tidende, has just returned from a fortnight's visit to Wieringen Island, where he had an opportunity every day to speak to the ex-Crown Prince, who is busy writing a book, which will contain several remarkable revelations re- garding the originators of the war He1lson states that the ex-Crown Prince admitted that he was not too popular, and continued
 People say I melted to war, but CIemenceau has done so all his life I was of opinion that Germany ought to be prepared for war, but I did not desire to cause war. I do net ask people to consider me specially in telIigent, but am no idiot or de- generate person, such as the English and American papers always say I am. I could not be so stupid as to wish for war at a time when Ger many had the whole world against her. If Germany had wished to make war it would have been much better to have done so during the Boer War or the RussO-Japanese War. The mts- take was that Germany never learned l knew Englishmen never would be content to send 3OO,0OO men across the channel. I knew Germany was the most hated nation of the world, and why? Because the German Reichstag never granted anything for propaganda until too late. When the war began we commenced propagan- da, but alas, what propaganda.
 The prince admitted that Tirpitz and the chief army leaders had been wen-educated liars, and added:
 ''The Ludendorf communiques were last year so mendacious that they were ridiculous. About Lud- endorf have written the following in my book:
 He has risen by reason of his reckless energy and brilliant organ ization, talents and qualities which are excellent for a short and quickly finished campaign, but insufficient for a long war. He understood how to get every man enrolled in the shortest possible time. He used the railways to the utmost limit, but his continued over -eXertion of the nation had at last to lead to a breakdown I saw the catastrophe approaching. ! was every day among my soldiers, NIllle Lle gentlemen at 1edQquarL- CTS were not"
 The Prince then described his visit to the ex-Kaiser on an early summer morning in 1918, when dur ing Q long conversation he pointed out that it was impossible to con- tinue fighting. Next forenoon, when Ludendorff made his usual report about the military situa ton, the Kaiser said: My son, the Crown Prince, points out'' but was inter- rupted by Ludendorff who demanded that the Crown Prince must not in future meddIe in the affairs of Head quarters, and declared that if he did interfere further, Ludendorff would resign. The ex-Crown Prince was willing on his oath to declare that the famous Crown Council at Pots dam had never taken place. The first day a meeting was held was the day when mobilization was order ed. The Prince foresaw the possibfI- ity of being placed before an inter- national court, and considered that 1t was not impossible that he was | to be executed.
