BULGARIA HITS HARD
AT COMMUNIST PARTY
Supreme Court Orders Body Dis
solved and Property Yielded

BY Radio to The Star and the Chicago Daily
News. Copyright. 1924
SOFIA, April 4.-When the defense
of the realm act passed the sobranye
recently the government ordered the
supreme court to make a thorough
inquiry into the activities of the COM
munist' party. Camouf1aged under
the name labor court" it has lust
delivered Judgment ordering disso-
luton of the party on the grounds
that it's activities were directed
against the security of the state. All
communist organization co-opera tives
also were dissolved and the property
of the party was declared public,
passing into possession 81 the state.
Bulgaria thus copied the example
Of Jugoslavia in putting communists
outside the law. In the futu-a they
want to participate in the government
OF the country. but as their methods
to date have been virtually illegal 1t
would seem that the decision OF the
court was to be expected.
Meanwhile the third ihternationale
in Russia evinces interest in the
political doings in Bulgaria. Although
open propaganda is not carried on to
the same extent as formerly, instead.
a subtle form of spreading discon-
tent throughout the country by we'll
paid agents is indulged in. But the
present administration Is keeping, a
sharp eye on the situation and the
communists seem to be losing rather
than gaining ground.

Reiterates New York Statement
Praising Dawes.

Gen. John ]. Pershing today re-
sumed his official duties at the War
Department as chief of staff OF the
Army, after an absence of about six
months on leave spent in France
visiting the scenes of his ac-
tivities during the world war and
gathering data for the preparation of
his memoirs of that eventful period.
He arrived in New York city on the
George Washington yesterday, and
after spending a few hours at the
Waldorf Astoria Hotel. came on to
Washington last night He was ac-
companied to France by his sister.

country several weeks ago. Mai. H.
NJ. RaynOr OF, his personal staff. met
him in New York and accompanied him
to this city.
Reported This Morning.
On arriving at the War Depart
ment about 10 o'clock this morning
he at once plunged into a mass of
correspondence, official and personal,
that had accumulated during his alb
sence. hut was unable to give much
attention to it, because of the almost
continuous stream of visitors during
the day. He looks in the pink of
health and said his experiences in
France had been extremely pleasant
and profitable.
To the newspaper men who called
on him he said he had nothing to
say for publication at this time about
conditions in Europe, except to re-
peat what he had said in New York,
that he was convinced that the
Dawes commission will turn out
something that will be very construc-
tive and beneficial on the subject of
reparations."
American War Dead.
He took occasion, however to say
that there was no basis for the
charges that the graves of the Ameri-
can war dead in France are being
neglected and predicted that all the
American cemeteries, with the pos
Slble exception of the one at
Romagne. would he practically COM
pleted in time for memorial exercises

Gen. Pershing said he found
economic conditions in France much
better than when he was there before
and that the general outlook was
promising. Incidentally Gen. Pershing
took occasion to compliment the serv-
ice on the liner George Washington
and expressed the opinion that all
patriotic Americans should patronize
American ships in their travels.
