TURKS PARTIAL
TO ALLIES k'OW
SOFIA,' Bulgaria, Dec. 27. (Cor
respondence of Associated' Press.)
Bulgai iah political lenders profess to
be gratified by the entrance of the
entente fleet Into t'onutantlnoplc ami
oxpress the -ballet that slt assures nu
eqitltnulo and reasonable solution of
the intermtnablo question of who
shall control tho Straits of tha Dar
danelles. This problem has been the
constant nightmare, of most of the
Balkan states, particularly of Bul
garia, Rumania and Greece. - These
countries always have considered the
possibility of Russian occupation of
Constantinople to. bo a serious men
ace to their own national existence.
- This fear was one of the causes
which led Bulgaria to take sides with
the central powers iu tho war. Later
when Russia abandoned her exclu
sive claim to Constantinople, Ruma
nia's entry into the war on the side
of the entente was facilitated.
Political circles In Bulgaria - are
profoundly impressed by the giddy
rapidity with which events of far
reaching -,- international importance
now are transpiring. The folly of
the policy pursued by tho former
King Ferdinand and his government
in Bulgaria has been brought home
in a striking manner to Bulgarians
by the recent developments. The
same feeling is expected to prevail
among the young Turks, "who pre
ferred to trust Germauy rather than
Great Britain and France altho, it is
said, these powers and Russia gave
to the Porte a -formal declaration
guaranteeing the integrity: of Turkey
if she would remain neutral in the
war.- ...
The great mass of the Turks, as
well as all other nationalities in Tur
key are said to be overjoyed to wit
ness the termination of the rule ot
the governing clique in that country
and the success of the entente pow
ers. They now realize, It is said, that
Germany cared nothing for the con
dition of the Turks but was solely
concerned with her own commercial
and ' industrial schemes . affecting
Turkey. ...
The general feeling of tranquility
has succeeded the recent troublous
times and all political parties replace
confidence in the ability of the pres
ent democratic ministry of Bulgaria
to extricate the country from its pres
ent condition.- .;

To the Editor: As there seems to
be considerable talk to the " effect
that -a -Mrs. -Worshata, a Red 'Cross
worker," wa--told -to get out," etc..
when she soliclted'for the Red Cross
at the Pullman bakery .on Pine street
I wish to say, being' present- at tho
time, that thin is absolutely false.
I would have taken this matter up
sooner but have been expecting a re
traction from the other side as it. was
put up fairly to them. ,
I would like to have Mrs. Wor-
sham .explain why she did not men
tion tno fact that we did suuscrme
'both to her ahdL,to other "Red Cross
workers. Wa would be glad to have
a thoro.: investigation made of tho
whole' affair. - : . 1 -
f. TVe regret that it Is necessary for
us to call :. Attention to the fact that
the eldnrly Mrs. Scholz has a son in
the service, who voluntarily enlisted
and that 'wo have subscribed to
everything that has come up, no ex
ceptions'.- And that we would be glad
to compare! the amounts with any
one lu Medford in proportion to their
capital. . .'--
And-when we say that every word
contained: in the Sun of December
22nd concerning the Puljman bakery
is positively false and .that wo are
prepared to prove it I think that that
sums up the whole thing.

President Wilson cordially assured

all the statesmen of tho gratitude of I
himsolf and wife over the reception
given them, lie said they had ex
peeled a fine reception, not essential-
ly for themselves but for all America.
but they .'were' not prepared for an
ovation of such magnitude.
' When Mr. Wilson reached the pal

uously good cpirits, without the

nearest him who wero trained obser

''convinced the president had a fruit
ful and satisfactory day. They be
lieve it unquestionably laid tho foun

"The conferences were conducted
In that heart-to-heart atmospherp
which tho president is trying to find
in the capitals .of '.Europe as best de
signed to enable him l.o give a calm
and cogent exposition of his views on

Mr. Wilson encountered a good deal
