been bad blood between them for
years. The last futile attempt TO
make peace took place in the early

the Sitkas killed.
Old men Of the tribes, it is said,

or when laying their winter trap lines
they will visit each other and be
friends.

Associated Press.)-Seventeen promi-
nent men. including one non-Bavari-
an duke, were arrested here last eve
ming by the police, assisted by 20
members Of the local Soldiers Coun-
ell
They were at one of the largest no.
tets in Munich and are said to have
been engaged in a conference when
the officers arrived. They say they
were arranging for the recruiting of
citizen soldiery. but the police accuse
them of aiming an attack at existing
Institutions"
It is reported that they apparently
attempted to destroy a number of
discriminating documents which the
police seized.
All Of the men were released except
a publisher, who is accused Of dis
tr;buting arms, and i banker, who
is considered the ringleader in the
plot.
The accused men have given out a
statement in which they say that the
citizen soldiery which they proposed
. t" recruit. was intended to protect
the present government against re-
| dictionaries. Spartacus forces guard
the public buildings and the bridges

Sc fla. bulgaria, Nov. 2s-(Corres-

One OF the principle causes which
contributed towards the rupture If

treatment by the LITTER of the Dob

cy Of Germany to favor Turkeys

but it proved to be without success.
The feeling produced both in Rer-

ton with NJ. Fucheff, the Bulgarian
minister in Vienna, was moved 70
wrathful Indignation and described
NJ Malinoff, the bulgarian premier,
as a traitor.
There Is much irritation in Bulga-
ria over the Dobrudja question. The
Bulgarian government, which. in it's
several conversations with the Ger
nan-Austrian ministers at Sofia de-
clared 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 rst state to withdraw from The
war, and thus hasten the conclusion
Of n general peace, will not be over
looked.
The scarcity of foodstuffs in Bull
Garia constitutes n serious problem
for tho government. and if supplies
are not soon forthcoming, there is
great Canger of famine. One cause
Of this dearth Of supplies was the
wholesale and systematic draining
of the Country's resources by the
Germans who, instead of reinforc-
ing the Macedonian front, garrisoned
the interior of Bulgaria with the sole
object Of collecting the produce Of
the country for dispatch to Germany.
When the present government put an
end to this expectation. the Germans
rcsorted to the ruse Of posting par.
GELS through their own field post, and
thus practically every German SOL
der became an exporter. The Bull
garian government was powerless to
prevent the practice.
