BULGARIA SHOWS NO OUTWARD
SIGN OF WAR: ANXIOUS RESUME
TRADE RELATIONS WITH YANKS

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,

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.
