BULGARIA SHOWS NO OUTWARD SIGN OF WAR: ANXIOUS RESUME TRADE RELATIONS WITH YANKS -3 SOFIA. (By Mail) Bulgaria gives now no outward sign of a country ■ ing been at war A large part >1 the army has been demobilized, commercial activity has been resum 1, the crops are excellent, there Is abundance of food in the country, tlie health of tlie population Is good, and everybody is devoting himself to the active pursuits of peace. The war lias become only a mem ory in the minds of the thrifty and philosophical Bulgarian peasants, who are so absorbed in their agricultural and household pursuits ttiat they have little time to think of tlie past. But ill l i es are naturally turned to Paris, where tlie destinies ol Bulgaria are being weighed. Tlie attitude of mind t the people might be described as one of Imping for the best hut ex pecting tlie worst " Bulgaria suffered no property dam age by hostile invasion or bombard ment. and lost comparatively few lives by wounds or disease. It may In- many years, however, before Bul garia regains her former financial position. Tlie war cost her more than $1,000,000,000. If she is requtr • I to jiay ihe allies the indemnity of ant).000,000 and is called upon to re turn the billion dollars she borroyved from Germany her financial position will be tile more serious. Her pre en! war liabilities total more than half her national wealth. The Italians, whose friendship the Bulgarians have been assiduously cul tivating, have sent large quantities of poods into country. The French have wise sent a considerable amount. Tlie British have an economic mission heie. but little merchandise has come 'o Bulgaria from England. The Bulgarian government and peo ple ar. extremely anxious the Fniteit States should establish active trade elations with them. There is great need ol farm implements, machinery, i abides and manufactured articles of all kinds The I'nited States appointed a consul to Bulgaria in May, but be has not yet arrived in Sofia. The Bulgarians are hopeful he may be abb to bring the two countires into closet i ommmercial relationship. There is ,,n immense accumulation of tobacco and attar of roses which the govern cent is anxious to dispose of. There has been so little demand for attar i i roses, due to the war, that a num ber of peasants have turned their e gardens into vegetable farms. The stores of Sofia gradually are .tilling up. Goods are filtering thru f.oin Italy, France and Greece. The low rate of exchange, however, has placed heavy burdens on the local merchants. The Bulgarian franc, which at par is worth 20 cents, is now equivalent to only 4 cents. The American dollar and the Greek drach ma (tranc) are the only moneys that ell at their [ace value. 1'ntil peace is signed by all the Balkan States, the French and Italian armies may continue to occupy Bul garia. The Greeks now are massed in large numbers in Macedonia and along the Bulgarian frontier The J Italians, by their moderation and de portment have won the favor of the Bulgarians, but the French army has a large force of colored and other colonial troops here and are extreme ly unpopular. The Bulgarians com plain of frequent attacks on women and other disorders b> these colored soldiers. NOTED GENERAL COMES AS AIDE BEGIAN RULER NEW YORK, (By Mail) Lieuten ant General Baron Jacques, who, ac ■ ding to his own assertion, occupied the "front seat in the front row" when the Germans opened the great international “show" in 1914, is the most striking member of the suite which is accompanying King Albert on his visit in the United States. Tall, straight as an arrow, General Jac ques looks like the tighting man he is and has been from boyhood, for he is one of the professional soldiers upon whom Belgium relied when it made the great decision which hold up the German army until French action. General Jacques was in command of the Twelfth Regiment, one of the crack military organizations of Bel gium, and was stationed at Liege where General Leman was in com mand. "I had never been impressed by the bombast of the German soldiery and I had full confidence in my own men." said the General as he sat in a plainly furnished cabin on board the George Washington on the voy age to New Vok and talked of the early days of the war. "We first came in contact with the Germans on the bridge at Vise, and after a sharp fight drove them back, capturing the flag of the 97th Bran denburg regiment. “That fight aroused the people, and immediately we had more than a thou sand civilian volunteers, digging trenches and helping in every way possible. General Leman issued a proclamation in which he said: “Big Germany has invaded our country im posing an ulitmatum which consti tutes an outrage. Little Belgium proudly accepts the challenge. The Belgium army will do its duty. The people of Liege only ask to be allowed to do theirs.” During the discouraging days which followed, when the Belgian army was compelled to retire from place to place until it at last had to give up Antwerp and begin its slow retreat along the coast, General Jacques nev er doubted the final outcome, and encouraged his men by pointing out that when the reached the Yser river the backward movement would end. And so it did. “My regiment had orders to hold Dixmude till death and we did. Not until high command decided to evac uate the town did we leave our places.” said the general. “The war is over, but the Germans still have arms and men. It is up to the allies to see they do not use them again. I look upon the Ger man as barbarian who still has in his heart the desire to conquer, because he is trained to it from the cradle This war was not a war entirely oi the kaiser’s making. It was a wal of the whole people, a war for loot They believed they would be able t« get to Paris in six weeks, and the booty they took would amply com. pensate for the expense of military operations." General Jacques has had an ad venturous career. As a young officer he went out to the Congo, and in early j nineties began his memorable fight against the Arab slave traders. On one occasion, when lie and his natives were hard pressed by a large body of Arab slave traders, he killed eigh teeen of them with his own rifle. His administrative work in the Congo also was ol a high order. He has been decorated 17 times, and wears the highest honors his country can give, while other countries have been only a little less generous in recognizing his abilities and valor. WADA, THE JAP ON LONG MUSH JAP WHO TOOK NEWS OF FAIR BANKS STRIKE TO DAWSON ON PROSPECTING TRIP All tile oldtimers in this district know Wada, Tha Jap, who took the first dogteani from Fairbanks to Daw son with the news ol' tile gold strike that resulted in ttiis camp. Wada. by Hie Dawson News, is now enroute to the Aarctie ocean on a prospecting tour backed by New York capital. He left Fort McMurray, Alberta, about tile middle of August for the mouth of the Mackenzie river, trans porting himself in a canoe with his supplies. He is going into that coun try to endeavor to re-make a gold dis covery which he made when a mem her of the crew of a whaling ship which wintered at Herchel island be- I fore the Klondike was struck. This j is his sixth trip in there during the | last two years. Every time he has attempted it something has happened to prevent him reaching his destina tion. Twice before he was within twenty-five miles of the place and had o return. He went in there front Nome by Bering straits in 1905; over . from Dawson In 1908, and this time is going down the Mackenzie river. He also went Dy snip one time. He is well outfitted and expects to be able lo get to the place during the coming winter. Wada says that there is nothing there to cause a stampede and that if he makes a discovery, as he hopes to, prospectors will soon mow about it, as he will be out again in the spring. GERMANS AFTER ITALIAN TRADE LONDON.—(iP)—British traders are advised by consular agents at Romo that Germany is making a strong bid for Italian patronage. By extending to Italian buyers three months’ cred it at one per cent interest and the quotation of prices for delivery at Genoa, whereas British firms quote f. o. b. London, a large volume of business is being attracted by the Germans. Italy’s most pressing needs now are said to be dyes, inks, hosiery, shoes, chemicals, machinery, type writers, heavy oils, meats, preserves, and cloths.
