BULGARSADOPT
PRINCIPLES OF
ID STATES
SOFIA, Bulgaria, April 17 (Corres
pondence of the Associated Press).—
The treaty of Bucharest between Hu
mania and the central powers whicl
terminated Rumanir.’s participation ii
the war was the grave of the allianc.
between Bulgaria, Germany and Aus
tria, declares Andrew Liaptcheff, Bui
garian minister of war. Under th<
terms of this treaty Bulgaria wai
compelled to surrender to Turkej
part of the valley of the Maritza rivei
in Thrace. This and other events dis
solutionized the Bulgarians, according
to M. Liaptcheff.
Reviewing to the Associated Pres,
correspondent the circumstance,
which convinced Bulgaria that Ger
many was playing false, the ministei
said:
“Former King Ferdinand was con
vinced of the military supremacy ol
Germany but his government refusec
to give troops for other fronts thar
those of the Balkans and, in spite ol
high pressure from the Germans il
refused to sever relations with thr
United States.
“This restraint and the openlj
avowed displeasure of Bulgarians
against Germans, was aimed to con
quer economically the country, disen
chanted in Germany in her plan of su
premacy from Berlin to Bagdad witl
Bulgaria as a necessary connecting
link. Thereupon Germany assumed s
very distrustful and cool attitude to
ward her little ally.
“The result was that in the Buch
arest peace treaty of 1918 Bulgaru
was very ill treated. Instead of get
ting new acquisitions she was to sur
render her old ones by giving up tc
Turkey the southern valley of the
lower Maritza. The army perceivec
clearly the falsity of Germany and th.
people saw the danger which threat
ened their political and econmic free
dom. The formal breach was only ;
question of time.”
M. Liaptcheff asserted that Bui
garia could have “cancelled the par
tial success of the entente offensive'
in the Balkans which terminated Bui
garia’s participation in the war 1
Bulgaria had been aiming at militar;
success instead of political results. Hi
said that Bulgaria at that time wa:
chiefly concerned, not in stopping thi
entente advance, but in severing her
self from the military grip of hei
“former allies.” <
The minister complained that, al
though Bulgaria had helped to trails
port the entente armies through hei
territory and supplied them with food
even after they had passed into Ser
bia and Rumania, the services of Bul
garia were forgotten after the col
lapse of Turkey, Austria-Hungary and
Germany. According to the armistice,
be asserted, Bulgaria was to admin
| istcr Dobrudja but two months later
i Bulgaria was asked to evacuate that
I province and ‘‘it had to be done in
the most pitiable circumstances.”
The war minister concluded by say
ing that the entrance of the United
States into the war ‘‘had this special
meaning for the Bulgarian people—
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 Bul
garians believe that the just cause of
their race shall triumph and the small
people shall see itself united at last.'
WANT AMERICANS TO
VISIT PRAIRIE PROVINCES
WINNIPEG, Man., May 9 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Federal immigration
officials, working with provincial
. leaders, are trying to attract an
American delegation to the prairie
provinces this summer. The plans
anticipate a delegation including rep
resentatives from every state in the
union, members of congress and state
officials. The delegation would be
provided with a special train which
would tour the west over one railway
line and return over another.
Recent reports from Ottawa stated
. that the Dominion expected to spend
at least $1,00,000 this year in at
tracting attention to the western
provinces.
George Martin, formerly of Nenana,
' and who stampede to the reputed
strike on the Stueyhok river, has
wired that there is nothing to the
strike and those who went had only
their trouble for their pains. He will
' return on one of the first up river
boats.

IS SOME SPEED CRAFT
PARIS, May 9 (by Associated

BRITIsFPOSTALSYSTffli
MADE PROFIT LAST YlAR
LONDON, May 9 (by Asso^Latod
Press).—The British post offic^ in
spite of wartime conditions, reports a
profit in 1918 of $33,241,000. Its oper
ation of the telephone service showed
a profit of $1,600,000, but it lost over
$2,600,000 in operating the telegraphs.
It has never been able to make, the
telegraph system pay, although up
until 1917 the annual loss had been
steadily reduced.
Thousands of postal employes who
were called into military service have
been demobilized, and the movemnt
of mail, as well as the conduct of the
telephone and telegraph system* is
beginning to show some improvement.
An automatic telephone service for
London to cost $35,000,000 is planned.
Captain Devere H. Hardin, at one
time stationed in Wrangell and the
first man to be wounded in the war,
has been ordered from Camp Lewis
