N PART OF BULGARIA
No Word Comes From Sofia In Response to Russian Ulti
matum Which Seems to H aye Been Delayed In Trans
mission-Triple Entente
Salonika With Consent of
Serbian Invaders Rumania
Neutral For Present
London, Oct. 5 While Europe today
waited impatiently for Bulguria's an
swer to Russian demands the allies'
preparations to meet the new enemy in
the Balkans went rapidly forward. New
troops arrived at strategic points, ready
for the expected war declaration which
will tumble Bulgaria into the war cald
ron, followed soon by Greece.
Since the time limit of the, Russian
ultimatum expired, no word has come
from Sofia or Petrogfnd. Buck of this
w -reen of mystery, however, military
experts saw no chance of aught but
war.
Sofia dispatches are subject of a de
lay of a ituy or two, hence her answer,
if any, may not reach the Russian cap
ital before night.
The London papers today unanimous
ly agreed in the belief that the Bili
ous hud ignored the-Slav demands.
I'etrograd dispatches said today the
Russian ultimatum had not been haml
et to the Bulgarian foreign office until
four o'clock yesterday afternoon. The
lay limit therefore expires at four
ii 'clock this afternoon.
The alleged delay was not explained,
tiiough the Russian minister was in
structed to deliver the demands at four
o'clock Sunday afternoon and to leave
Sofia -ii hours alter it Bulgaria aid not
agree to break with the central allies. I
Jn some quarter it wan believed the -
Bulgarian censor purposely held up the
ultimatum to give Bulgaria more time
to complete her mobilization.
All expressed the belief that war Is
the answer without further diplomatic
parleys.
The. size of the allied expedition land
d at Salonika, is unknown.
The newspapers printed merely the
Athens dispatches telling of the land
ing, and they assumed that these forc
es are adequately supplied with artil
lery to meet the expected Bulgarian in
vasion of Serbia. The Bulgars first
blow it is expected will be an attempt
Jit swift dash toward the Nish-Salonikn
railway, a vital expedition in view of
the allies' propnble use of it in aiding
Servin. Both Romo and Athens report.
active military preparation at Odessa
and Selwistopool declares that Russia
is ready to transport a big expedition
to the Bulgarian coast.
Kxperts doubted that the czar will
attempt nn invasion of Bulgaria.
Reports that Rumania htfd decided to
remain neutral, at least for the present,
are not surprising. Though the allies
hail hoped Rumania would aid t.iem in
the event of Bulgaria's entry, recentlyison planned to follow out the "tip"

little hope that Rumania will imniedi-
itelv a ul Serbia.
Greece Acta With Allies,
Athc-us, Oct. 5. Greece has not at
tempted to prevent landing' of allied
troops at Salonika, nor to check their
march into Serbia, Premier Venizelos
declared today in the Chamber of Dep
uties, In reply to questions. News re
ptrts had indicated a protest to France
on these points, in keeping with the
Grecian rules that legislative action is
necessary to sanction such a move.
Veni.elos emphasized the seriousness
f the Balkan situation by stating that
the allies had withdrawn territorial
"incessions offered to Bulgaria some
ionths ago for aligning with the al
lied enuse.
No further negotiations will be un
dertaken with Bulgaria, unless she re
plies satisfactorily to the Russian ulti
matum, demanding severance of rela
tions with the Teutons.

Looks Like Mining Troubles
In Colorado Have Been
Fully Settled
Denver, Colo., Oct. 5. The dove of
pence hovered today over the Rocke
feller camps, for a move apparently
was on foot whereby Governor Carlson
will order dropped several hundred
cases against men involved in the coal
strike in 1913-14. OfficaU denied Carl-
rrom Kocketclier Headquarters that
such a move would be acceptable, but
there was strong reason to believe he
bad the suggestion under consideration
ami would act soon.
District Attorney Hendricks of Las
Animas county, said he would dismiss
all the cases in bis jurisdiction, and
he believed Attorney General Fararr
would do the same.
Full returns from the mine camps,
voting on the new Rockefeller indus
trial plan of "Unionism without the
Lnion ' were not at hand, but f ragmen
tarv reports indicated, as Rockefeller
hail believed, that the men would swing
into line behind the plan he called more
democratic than unionism.

TORPEDOING OF
LINER AW TO
BE
Ambassador Bernstorff Indi
cates That He Is Vested
With Full Powers
Washington, Oct. 5. Ambassador
Von Bernstorff today promised to sub
mit a disavowal of the torpedoing of
the liner Arabic to meet President
Wilson's wishes. Formal announcement
of a settlement will be made soon; it
was stated officially.
Von Bernstorff indicated that he was
vested with such discretionary author
ity that any steps he takes are certain
to meet with Berlin 's approval. His
promise on the disavowal, however, was
without qualification.
Ambassador Optimistic.
Germnn Ambassador Vou Bernstorff
arrived at the state departmeut at
10:30 o'clock to fill the appointment
with Secretary Lansing at which, it is
intimated, practically all differences
over the sinking of the liner Arabic
will be cleared.
The ambassador wns most optimistic
as he entered the department. Whil)
he would not discuss inf purpose of his
visit, he commented that "everything
is nil right, or soon will be."
This was taken to mean that he con
siders the adjustment ehiefiy a mut
ter of achieving a satisfactory wording
of the avowal America asks.
"Progress has been made," Secre
tary Lansing commented. '
"The Arabic case has been settled,"
Bernstorff declared, following his ses
sion with the secretary. That the. am
bassador presented a satisfactory dis
avowal 'is believed, though Seeretuiy
Lansing would not say whether he had
received any document.
The secretary conferred with Presi
dent Wilson soon after noon and it is
understood he submitted for the execu
tive's approval the form of disavow
al Bernstorff indicated Germany would
make. . -
Everything Is Settled.
All existing differences between this
country and Germany were practically
disposed of today by a letter which
Ambassador Von Bernstorff handed to
Secretary of State Lansing, specifi V-
ly disavowing tho torpedoing of. the
liner Arabic with loss of American
lives.
State ilepnrtment and White House
stntements indicated this ufternnon
thnt. the effect of the letter is to wipe
out the I.usitniiia controversy as well
as the Arabic.
"I merely communicated to the
president my conversation with Am
bnssador Von Bernstorff," snid Secre
tary Lansing, upon leaving the White
House.
Ho intimutcd, however, ho would
hnve further conversations with the
envoy.
The Lusitnnia ruse, tiowever, will be
taken up informally iu a manner sim
ilar to the Arabic.
Now, the administration protest
against general interference with Am
erican trade will be dispatched soon,
it was learned on high White House
authority. The envoy's letter follows:
. "My Dear Mr. Secretary:
"Prompted by the desire to reach a
satisfactory agreement in regnrd to the
Arabic incident, my government has
given me the following instructions:
" 'The orders issued by His Majesty

Washington, Oct. 5. American naval
inventions will be kept a closely guard
ed secret from Kuropean-niitions, under
a new policy adopted by the adminis
tration. While the government hiis
disclosed its intention of having a su
per cruiser, capable of muking a speed
of 40 miles nn hour larger and deadlier
than any ship now afloat, the process
whereby such high speed is attained,
will be kept a strict secret.
Radical innovations in hull construc
tion have been designed for the new
battleships 43 and 41, und the specifi
cations will be given to a very few bid
ders and sub-contractors under an oath
of secrecy. These innovations will be
directed at obtaining a hull through
which a torpedo from n hostile craft
either cannot penetrate at all or only
with extreino difficulty. It is likely
too, tluit provisions will be made
whereby a vessel would remain afloat,
despite such piercing.
It is ireported that these objects
will be attained by making the vessels
thinly armored below the water line,
but with double-shell hulls, the extra
we i gilt of which would be equnllir.ed
by a thin plate bow atom and other
points at which a shot would not strike
the vitals of the ship.
The new super cruisers' will cost
around $18,000,000 to build and equip.
The navy has found that it faces extra
rates because of the increased prices
of steel and naval work, due to the Eu
ropean war.
What their armament win tie, nas not
yet been determined, but it will be
such as to make the new ships the most
formidable afloat.

This Is Conclusion If Berlin
Estimates of Losses May
Be Relied Upon
By J. W. T. Mason,
(Written for t "no United Press.)
New York, Oct. 5. If German es
timates of 130,000 French and (10,000
British casur.lties as the result of thetions to halt American munition pro
renewed western front offensive are
correct the offensive is a failure from
tho allies standpoint.
The temporary cessation of the at
tack is not vital' in itself. However, if
tho allies "brief gains" have been
thus extremely costly, there can be no
expectation that nuother renown! will
bo successful.
If the disunities hnd resulted in car
rying tne nines witnin striking ins
tance of a critical section of the Ger
man front, this slaughter would have
been justifiable. There is, however, no
evidence thnt the front is at any point
in a critical condition. Berlin's claims
that shn had met the allies onslaught
without nddi-.ig reinforcements signifi
cantly supports this view.
Recapture of the Hoiienzollern re
doubt, from the British together with
nearby positions from the French, sug
gest that the allies have suffered ex
tremely, sinco they did not have there
sufficient reserves to hold gains they
had made, and to consolidate too previ
ously-won front.
The growing delay In opening the
second artillery preparation is, perhaps,
another indication that the allies' loss
es have been very heavy. Kventually,
the world will know what the British
losses have been, through official pub
lication of the lists, but what France
has suffered will not bo known ex
cept to its leaders, for France does not
announce her losses.
