(Associated Press, Oct. 1.),
Bulgaria Is definitely out of the war
n(d Tu rkey vir tually cut off from
communication with her allies and
ler armies in Palestine almost annih
ilated, likely soon will be forced to sue
for a cessation of hostilities against
her.
Meanwhile the ciientle allied forces
from ilelgiu in to Verdilna on six bat
tie fronts are registering victory af
ter victory over the Teutonic aims
and the enefy front almost every
where is crumbling, notwithstanding
the desperate resistance that. is being
offered on various sectors.
Seeinz 'eventiual defeat staring her
in the face through the swift prog
ress of Serbian, italian, Bitishli,
Greek and French troops in the re
claiming of Serbia and the invasion
of Hulgarian territory, the Bfulghrs
begged for an armistice, reserving to
themselves no conditions. All the
territory now held by King Ferdi
nand's mien is to be evacuated; the
Bulgarian army Is to be Immediately
demobolized and all means of trans
port inside the kingdom, even along
the Danube, is to be given over into
allied hands.
Thus in addition to the isolation of
Turkey tlie back door to a direc. ii
