Any attempt at treachery can be forestalled by taking DromAt advantage of the terms exacted by the Allies, which include she free access of Allied forces to Bulgarian territory. The breath! Bulgaria recovers by this armistice will never help the Central Powers, to prolong their death struggle. | So far as German hopes of progress eastward are concerned, Bul-| garia is woree than a lost wheel. The effect of Bulgaria’s withdrawal apon the Teutonic Mitteleuropa scheme is disastrous enough. But its influence upon Turkey and upon Roumania must be already recog- nized in Berlin to be even more dangerous and disheartening as) tegards the immediate fortunes of German armies throughout the) dear east, Turkey is reported on the point of suing for peace. Roumania| has everr oncouragement to rouse itself and fight its fiercest for the| Allies. Austria-Hungary is exposed to invasion. Serbian pluck has nore than ever to rejoice and stimulate it, The whole Balkan situa- ‘ion bas suddenly readjusted itself in a manner that leaves openings hrough which the Allies can direct a terrible rear fire upon the Central Powers. While Foch is hammering the German line to pieces in the west, Haly, Serbia, Roumania if it rises to the occasion, and the French, British and American troops co-operating, can carry the war into the territory of the Central Empires with a vigor that should cause | Austria’s speedy and final collapse. | sAfter three years of it Bulgaria knows it has had enough. It) picked the wrong side in the first place and now, at the eleventh hour, 't has decided to save what it has left from the impending Teutonic blow-up. Meanwhile more yearnings for peace find voice in the Austrian Parliament. German defeats in the west cause hurried: conferences it German great headquarters, the Imperial Chancellor von Hertling and the German Foreign Secretary von Hintze are reported to have tent in their resignations and the German Government is forced to offer an immediate explanation of the military situation to a per- turbed Reichstag. . Bulgaria read the signs ai ight this time. THE PRESIDENT AND THE SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT. RGING the passage of a constitutional amendment granting full suffrage to women, the President declared to the United! States Senate that, “if the early adoption of this measure is aecessary to the successful prosecution of the war and if the method of State action proposed in the party platforms of 1916 is imprac- ticable within any reasonable length of time, if practicable at all,” then neither party “can rightfully hesitate to substitute Federal initiative for State initiative.” The President proceeded eloquently to remove his first “if,” as to the necessity of woman suffrage as a war measure, by assigning full suffrage for woman a logical place in the democracy for which we are fighting and by declaring it to be the just return for woman’s service and sacrifice In the present struggle. The second “if” dissolving of itself in its implication of delay shich might outlast the war, the Presidential proposition as to the imperative, essential nature of the Federal method of obtaining national woman suffrage stood freed of all “ifs” or “buts.” In earlier days, State rights, State sovereignty and initiative Were jealously defined and guarded. They cast little shadow now im the overpowering light of changes toward which democracy itself cannot yet turn its eyes without losing some of its perception of exact- hess and consistency. Woman suffrage before 1917 was making steady and deserved|® progress in the United States by State initiative conforming to the Federal Constitution as it now stands. ’ The movement to make suffrage a national issue has been skil- fully blended with the national movement of war until the President |" himself has become part of the momentum which is to carry votes for women triumphantly, albeit ruthlessly, across State lines, a aoe ‘Then why so many ladies in the Georgetown workhouse? t a ene Letters From the People Thinks Draft Boa Change Praine for Loral, Boards.

Triest by tame, a Brooklyn boy of nineteen. His photograph depicts @ full and somewhat large-eared face, not waolly unlike was a Princeton student Harry Thaw's in general aspect. He was fremendously interested, like all other Amexixss, in the early progress of the European War; aike many another American, he resolved to get into it. What his motives were, at the start, no one eecms in January 1916 Kenneth ran away from home and enlisted in the British Navy as a wireless operator. Whether he did this with the deliberate idea of spying on the English, for Germany's benefit—whether he was later persuaded to turn over to the enemy the secrets that a wiréless operator can so easily pick up—whether he was unsound of mind—is still a mystery. In any case, his crime was against Great Britain and not against bis own country, for all thig happened before we entered the war—before the sinking of the Lusitania gave us a true insight into German methods, It was at a time when even the Belgian atrocities were too terrible for every one to believe, What line of information young Triest sent his German employers and how he chanced to enter their employ is also to know.

England has always given short shrift to proven spies since the war be~ gan, Triest was arrested and thrown into the Tower of London, charged with practising esplonage—an offense punishable by death. Word was sent to America to his father, Wolfgang Triest, of his sen's peril, and the fathor at once began to pull every possible wirs for Ken- neth’s release. He forwarded to London a sheaf of affidavits to the effect that the youth's mind was unbalanced. He also enlisted the sympathies of Theodore Roosevelt in Kenneth’s behalf. Col. Roosevelt wrote a vehement letter to the British Ambassador, harping on Triest’s alleged insanity and saying the boy belonged in a sani+ tarium rather than in the Tower of London. The Colonel begged that the British would spare Kenneth and thus show the world the vast difference between.Eng- land's behavior toward unfortunates and Ger« many's “butchery of Miss Cavell.” The Colonel's letter continued: “The British Government has a thousandfold jess justification for insisting on the execution of Triest than the German Government had for putting to death Miss Cavell.” To this appeal the English authorities made answer that young Triest showed no sign of insanity, but that the Government was prepared to give him “the benefit of the doubt.” 8 Fathay’s Friends Save Spy. Accordingly Kenneth was rcleased from the Tower and was sent back to New York in custody of his father’s lawyer, At the pier the lawyer talked freely of the case, while Kenneth stoo@ by grinning, The young fellow did not appear to realize the enormity of his offense or the extreme-+narrowness of his escape from sudden and shameful deuth. derstands it so that no one may take advantage of her.

Why, you can see the table shake. He writes as hard and strong as I can, almost.” Mr. Slavinsky, who had been wait- ing with Mr, Jarr while Gus packed ice around the beer coils, regarded El- mer with deep respect, “There ain't nothing like an educa- tion,” remarked Mr, Slavinsky finally. “As soon as @ young feller gets an education he won't work any more.
