Geneva, Dec. 9.-(By the Associs

Of the members Of the little entente
to the admission OF Bulgaria into the
League OF Nations was materially
weakened today with the receipt by
the cOinn:5ssion on the admission Of
Jew, states Of a report from Marsha!
Foch, stating that Bulgaria has full
lni;ed her treaty oDlig1tions better
than n other enemy country.
f.umani1. Serbia Czecho-Slovakia
and Greece have been conducting a
fight for several weeks against the en-
subnsilting long documents outlining
numerous alleged violations of the
peace treaty by Bulgaria. Marshal
Foch points out that Bulgarian dis
armament has advanced further than
that of any other enen1y state, her
army now consisting OF $4,000 men,
instead of 40, 900 as commended by the
little %entente," q
Final action on Bulga ria's applica-
ton for admission probably will BE
taken by the commission this after
noon. It Is believed here Marshal

position of the little entente and
