Paris, Sept., 30. Bulgaria is out of the war.

the allies, she" has ceased to be an active participant.
These facts became known today when It was official

"" The Serbian legation confirms. Bulgaria's surrender.
The terms laid down by the. allies were unofficially
reported to be as follows: V '"... ,' " t '

' Washington, Sept. 30. Bulgarian
Minister Pauartoff today submitted to
(Secretary of State Lansing a communi
cation froui Bulgaria asking the united!
(States to tito its good office, in helping !
to conclude the allied Bulgarian arinis-
tice.
Inasmuch as the armistice has been
signed, it was held by the department
that further steps by the American
government aie unnetvssary.
Bulgarian acceptance of the allied ar
mistice conditions spells the end of
Teutonic dreams in the near-east, mil
itary and diplomatic authorities agreed
i today. Tln allies will now proceed with
enlarged plans for putting the finishing
touches on the blow against Germany's
' ' back door. "
.., Tho Danube front will be re-ostblish-ed,
according to present plans; Kumania
freed by Bulgaria's cessation from hos
tilities, will undoubtedly .enter the
struggle; Turkey must quit and a blow
direct at Austria-Hungary can beei
pected. ' ; .
That Bulgaria will conduct a definite
separate peace, as a supplement to
tliearniisticc, is taken for granted. The
state department and allied govern
ments have evidence that proves there
is 110 'stalling" about this situation.
Bulgarian Minister Panaretoff was
shown tkv United Press dispatch an
nouncing the .reported signing of the
armistice agreement this morning, and
shortly afterward left for a confenence
with Secretary Lansing at the state
department. ' ' . " . '
Bulgaria 't chief contvrn now is to
have the final territorial adjustment
left to the American-allied peace, table
but whether or not this is granted, it is
held certain that signing of the armis
tice means the-, effective, definite eli
mination of the Bulgar from the eastern
buttle front.
- It is expected today that the Bulgar
ian minister, Panaretoff would see
Secretary Lansing. America already is
M the matter, however, her represcnta
tire at Sofia being a participant in tlii
negotiations. It is assumed Panaretoff
will ask the United States to do all it
can in a peace movement on the single
proviso that final territorial adjust
uient be left to the great peace table of
nil the nations. '
The next big news from the east is
expected to U word that Turkey has
followed the lead of Bulgaria and is
eeking to drop oat of the struggle.
If this happens, Germany's days in
tan war will be materially lessened.
The groundwork for the 1919 victory

Turkey Must Prepare To De-

' ' " By Raymond Clapper.
(United Press Staff Correspondent.)
Washington, Sept. 30, Bulgaria will
be friendly tq any allied moves against
Turkey and will be practically on the
side of the allies for ttie remainder of
the war, Bulgarian Minister Panaretoff
told tho United Press today.
Turkvy -will bo forced to sue for
peace or meet an allied attack on Con
stantinople, he said. An allied advance
over the Sofia railway toward Adrian-
ople can be expected at' any time, he
declared.. ' . .
"Winuing of Bulgaria -to tin? allied
side is a great gain," Minister Panare
toff declared. "It will have its effect
on Turkey. . Turkey will be obliged fr, T- Z . f . u lg ? .

their demands have asked, according to

Missouri, Kansas and Ohio troops,
after four days' continuous fighting,

Washington; Sept. - 3d. President
Wilson's speech boforo the United
States senate today urging the adoption
of the women's amendment follows:
Gentlemen of the Senate:
The unusual circumstances of. a
world war in which we stand and are
judged in the view not only of our own
cunwicnces, uui biu iu wie view or mi i
nations ana peoples, wiu, i nope, jus-
ciry in your inuuiu,as it noes in mine
the message 1 come to bring you. I
message 1 have come to bring you. I
regard the concurrence Of the senate in
the constitutional amendment proposing
tho extension of the iuffrage to wom
en as vitally essential to the success
ful prosecution of the groat war of hu
manity in which we are engaged. 1
have come to urge upon you the con
siderations which have led me to that
conclusion. It is not only my privilege,
it also is my duty to appraise you of
every circtimstanco and every element
involved is this momentous struggle,
which seems to me to affect its very
procefs and its outcome. Jt is my
duty to win the war and to ask you to
remove every obstacle that stands in
tho way of winning it. ,
Not A Party Issue.
I had assumed that tho senate would
concur in the amendment because no
disputable principle is involved, but
only a question of the method by whiflh
the suf farge is to bo extended to
women. There is and can be no party
issue invn-ed in it. Both of our na
tional parties are pledged, explicitly
pledged, to equality of suffrage for the
women of the eountty. Neither party,
therefore, it seems to me, can justify
hesitation as to the method of obtain
ing it, can rightfully hesitate to sub
stitute federal initiative for state in
itiative if the early adoption of this
measure is necessary to the successful
prosecution of the war and if ' the
method of -state action proposed in the
party platform of 1916 is impracticable
within any reasonable length of time,
if. practicable at all. And its adoption,
to my judgment, clearly necessary to
the successful prosecution of the war
and the successful realization of the
objectives for which the war is being
fought. That judgment I take the lib
