NO TERMS ARE OFFERED
TO THE ANXIOUS BULGARS
LONDON, Feb. 14.—Athens re
ports which began arriving yestor
day afternoon to the effect that
Bulgaria had made overtures for a
separate peace are confirmed in en
tente official circles today.
Moreover, the only terms which
the Entente Powers could ofTer Bu>
garla were unconditional surrender
and the acceptance of such terms as
later might be decided on with pre
sent Immediate demobilization.
The rejection of the Bulgarian
overtures conducted through Grecea
Is occasioning considerable sur
prise.
Diplomats explain that general
dissatisfaction is rife in Bulgaria
against the Teutons; distrust oi
Turkey's ultimate designs are also
obvious while the fear of an attack
later on by Greece and Rumania Is
uppermost In the minds of Bulga
rians.
It is explained that whlla great
supplies of Teuton forces are on
hand during winter and early
spring, any aggressive attacks on
the east and west front will neces
sitate Bulgaria being left alone.
These attacks are considered almost
certain and hence there Is consider
able uneasiness over the situation
BUCHAREST. Feb. 14—It is
hinted tha* the Buigar government
made peace nvertures through Ru
mania and not through Greece, in
tiifc evening s papers.
DIME CREEK WANTS
RECORDER APPOINTED
DIME CREEK.—Mr. John D. Flani
gan, the recorder of the Council
City precinct was over a few day9
ago. It was understood that he
was travelling In a sort of Colonel
House capacity and on his return
would make a report to the District
Judge as to the advisability oi
establishing a precinct in the Norton
Bay country. People here arc gett
ing mighty tired of the watchful
waiting policy of the administration
of the Second Division. Before the
courts came to Alaska six men
could get together and form a re
cording district (and they did);
now one hundred of them or so with
all the nfluence that they can drag
along with them cannot get oi^e
established. Of course It is some
hardship not to be able to go to
consult tho records but tho way It is
operating now one can go out and
relocate every ninety days and if
the office was close by someone
might keep cases on the locations.
However we wont say anymore
about it at this time for the first
thing we know we will be knocking
and we have not arrived at that
stage yet. By the way there will
be a post office established here and
it will be called Haycock and wilt
be located at what is known as
Dime City or the Landing.

papers considering the British en
listment and drafting system are ap
parently hoping against hope that It
may lead to such civil disturbances
ances In Great Britain as to result
in the paralysis of the British na

siderable disappointment that no ac
tive disturbances have so far arisen.

Berlin dispatches indicate that it is
not believed that Bulgaria at any

canard.
