BULGARIA GIVES UP
PLAN TO HEAD OFF SERVIANS
AND GREEKS MET WITH
FAILURE.
HAS APPEALED TO POWERS
Dlssentlon In War Office and Exhaus
tion of Her Troops Caused the
Defeat of Bulgaria Rou
manla a Factor.
London, England. The end of a fort
night's desperate fighting in the Bal
kans finds Bulgaria forced to appeal
to the powers to arrange peace. The
Bulgarian plan to drive a wedge be
tween the Greek and Servian armies
in the neighborhood of Guevghell has
failed completely. The last reports of
the fighting received from Athens
show that the Servians and Greeks at
this point are combining forces, while
the Roumanian array is beginning au
invasion of Bulgaria.
The latter fact doubtless was the de
ciding factor In the Bulgarian appeal
to the powers. How far Bulgaria's de
feat is due to dissensions in high mili
tary quarters, which resulted in the
resignation of General Savoff, and how
far to the fact that the Bulgarian
troops, which bore the brunt ot the
hard fighting In the last campaign,
were more exhausted than the Greek
and Servian forces, probably win
never be known.
Nothing can be predicted at the mo
ment as to how events will sTUpe them
selves, the Roumanian Invasion ol
Bulgaria having brought an entirely
new factor into the problem. Russia
and France are devoting their effort3
to persuade the allies to adopt a mod
erate attitude" in order to facilitate
a peaceful settlement.
The Servian premier is quoted in
the Vienna Neue Frele Presse as de
claring that the new war has com
pletely set aside all treaties of alliance
and that peace must n'ow be negoti
ated nn an entirely new basis.
Rumors were published in Berlin
and according to the Daily Telegraph's
correspondent at Athens were current
there that General Ivanoff, with fifty
thousand Bulgarians was forced to sur
render near Demirhlssar, where fight
ing wan proceeding for the possession
of a railway bridge over the Struma
river.
Dispatches from the European capi
tals published in London severely
criticise Premier Daneff's overbear
ing policy as toeing the cause of the
Bulgarian defeat and his speedy down'
fall is predicted.

Making Boiled Milk Palatable.
Everybody knows that boiled milk
keeps much more satisfactorily in
warm weather than raw milk in fact,
boiling milk is the one sure way ot
keeping it on a sultry day. But to
many persons the taste of boiled milk
is unpalatable, and to others even its
odor is unpleasant.
To overcome these two faults, try
boiling the milk in a tightly-closed
double boiler. Do not remove tha
cover, but allow the milk to stay over
the fire In the double boiler for ten
minutes after the water has begun to
boil. Then put the milk, still tightly
covered, immediately on the ice and
cool it quickly.
