BULGARIA GIVEN TERIMIS
(By International News Service.)
LONDON, Sept. 28 (4:28 p. m.).—
There was a panic on the Berlin
Stock Exchange as a resnlt of the
Bulgarian armistice proposal and sub
sequent developments in the situation,
according to a Central News dispatch
received « this afternoon f{rom % The
Hague.
(By International News Service.)
LONDON, Sept. 28.—Great Britain has
‘eplied to Bulgaria's proposal for an
armistice, according to a news agency.
The reply is understood to state that
there will be no suspension of military
¢perations, Bulgaria can not have peace,
she is told, vnless she breaks complete
v with Germany, Austria and Turkey.
The ARles demand guarantees that will
prevent Germany from sending any
troops to Bulgaria,
Bulgaria must evacuate all territory
joeupled since she entered the war, ac
ding to one of the conditions laid
doewn by the British, If Bulagria does
nat accept the terms propesed by the
\llles the negotiations will be brokes
Bulgar Guarantees -
.
Demanded by Allies
WASHINGTON, Sept.yzs.—’rhe Al
lied reply to Buigaria's appeal for .n
armistice has gone forward from Par
is to Sofia, according to information
reaching Washington this afternoon.
The reply is reported to be definite
in form. It is understood that if Bul
garia is ready to quit fighting a.d
leave her future status to the Allied
Governments and to furnigsh guaran
tees which will protect the Allied
armies from a Teutonic trick, she will
receive all consideration possible. If
guarantees are not forthcoming, tue
Allies will continue to “clean up” the
Bulgariap armies that are now in full
retreat. !
These reports were generally cred
ited in official and diplomatic circles,
but the State I)epurtme'nt at 1:15
was still without any definite word
from eithtr London or Paris as to
what action had been taken. ‘
Bulgar Parliament
AMSTERDAM, Sept. 28.—~The Bul
garian Parliament has approved an
harmiltlce with the Allies, and Gen
eral Teradow, commander-in-chief of
the Bulgarian army, with Liapteheff,
the Bulgarian Minister of Finance,
*has gone to the frontier to meet the
Allied commanders, according to ad~
vices from Berlin.
German newspapers express dismay
at the proposed Bulgarian armistice
and fear that the contagion will
spread te Turkey.
Efforts to oust Premier Malinoff are
useless, advices state, because he is
backed by such an overwhelming per
centage of,public opinion that a re
volt woulr{ follaw such action, and
Czar Ferdinand would probably have
¥ [0 seek safety in Germany,
The request of Ferdinand that Von
\iackensen be gent to rally the disor
dered ranks of the Bulgar army has
not been complied with. It is stated
that Germany fears a revolt would
break out in Roumania if Von Muck
ensen left Bucharest. !

Peters Building Lift
Occupants of the lower floors of the
Peters Building and patrons in Bob
Hayes' shop were startled almost into
spasms at 4 o'clock Saturday after
noon by a dull roar, beginning some
where in the upper regiohs and de
scending with terrible swiftness, to
end in a cataclysmic crash that shook
the whole building.
It wasn’t an explosion, however. It
was a huge safe, sevent feet tall, the
kind used by jewelers for their stock.
It belonged to W, M. Lewis, a jeweler,
wo hwas moving from the third floor
to the seventh. At the seventh floor,
the elevator, nearly filled by the safe,
broke away from its moorings and fel!
to the basement.
Fortunately no one was .n the dar.
But all the watches were ruined, or
nearly so, Mr. Lewis says. So was the

WANTED—One thousand live wires,
real Americans, who are willing to
work as well as talk, to report at 9
o'clock Tuesday morning at the
Chamber of Comemrce Building, to
work for the Fourth Liberty Loan.
The drive on Tuesday will be in
downtown Atlanta and we need you
to help put it over in a big way. Are
you with us? Then come through
and prove it. Atlanta must go over
the top. Forrest Adair, city chair
man; J. P. Allen, general for the
downtown drive. -
I Atlanta got off to a fine start omi
its Fourth Liberty bond campaignw‘
!Saturdn.y. many of the committees
rounding up the prospects in their
Ibutld!m or offices and reporting
many thousands of dollars invested.
| But the work on the opening day was
| largely preliminary, for the drive will
Inot be intensively pushed until Mon
day night, in the home neighborhoods,
iand Tuesday, in the business section.
|Many new bonds actually were sold
‘ahd delivered by the banks. ‘
District head'guarters began receiv-
Jng “over-the-top” telegrams early in
the day. Troup Coumty and the town
of LaGrange, as in the Third Loan,
reported being oversubscribed a min
ute after the campaign opened. There
were other counties which wired they
}ml)luld be “cleaned up” before night
fall.
| Robert Harvey, chairman of the At
lanta zone, reported that the follow
ing counties would certainly reach
their quotas within a day or two:
Hall, White, Rockdale, Cherokee,
Walton and Gwinnett, as practically
| every prospect had been covered.
1,500 Badges Gone.
The number of workers engaged in
Atlanta was indicated by the fact that
' 1,600 badges ordered by Secretary
Robertson were all gone Saturday,
,and more workers were demanding
them. Only about 800 men worked
[ncti\'ely in the third campaign.
Swift & Co. and the Prudential Life
Insurance Company Saturday author
jzed Walter C. Hill's advertising com

for by them in the newspapers in

In Atlanta the campaign opened
without great excitement, most of the
ceremonies being reserved for next
week. But the hundreds of workers
under=Field Marshait Adair, his gen
erals, his colonels and his majors
were organizing for the big “jump
off” on Monday night.
To Call on Neighbors,
1t is expected that every household
er who isn't’ actually at work on a
night job will stay at home Monday
night from 7 to 9 o'clock in order that
the bond canvassers—in most cases
one of his neighbors—may call and
’get that bond subscription.
That there may be no excuse for
leaving home, the theaters wiil delay
‘thalr night performances until 9:30
‘o'clock. The movie houses can not
break their bills in this way, but the
Four-Minute Men will go after the
patrons in a way that should get re

The Monday night canvass actually
will start the Atlanta campaign. On
Tuesday there will be the great serv
fee parade. On Tuesday morning a
thousand live volunteers are asked to
report at the Chamber of Commerce
to work In the downtown drive, under
J. P. Allen, general of that divigjon.
And the campaign wiil be in full swing
“from now on.”

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Sept. 27 (night).—All of
the new American positions, reached
in the mighty drive, which began
yesterday, were consolidated today.
All objectives that the Amarlung set
out to take were attained.
(In addition to their advance of
more than 7 miles, it was unofficially
estimated Friday night that the
Americans had taken 9,000 prisoners
and 50 guns.)
r There was desperate fighting today
along the American center “in the
Montfaucon sector,
~ German machine gunners made bit
ter resistance while the enemy artil-
Jery violently shelled the American
positions.
While the Germans were bombard
ing, the Americans were infilltrating
the German positions In the upper
reaches of the Argonne forest.
At the same time the hatteries of
‘heavy American guns got into action
and deluged the German batteries po
siticns with a deadly storm of steel.
The German resistance today was
stronger than that of yesterday, but
this was foreseen and the proper ar
rangements were made to meet it. At
the same time the German artillery
activity was lighter than has Deen
expected.
Moving Up Big Guns.
While the new line was being con
solidated today the men were busy
bringing up supplies, and the artillery
men were active also moving up the
big guns to positions of vantage from
which the Germans could be more ef
fectively shelled. The weathor was
unfavorable, There was both fog and
rain. While this assisted materially
the infantry in screening their move
ments, it hampered the tanks and
airmen and made artillery observa
tion very difficult,
General von Einem, who Is com
manding the Germans immediately in
front of the Americans, has rushed up
reinforcemeénts in an effort to stem
the American advance, Fresh troops
were concentrated in the sectors of
Boiemont and Bois-de-Bouge, but
their positions were reporied to our
artillery and the heavy guns were
soon roaring. The German reinforce
ments were badly hammered.
In spite of the mud, the tanks were
in the thick of the fray, lumbering
through the swampy roads and flelds |
alongside of the infantry. |
The drive northwest of Verdun wu‘
followed up by a flare-up eant of the
Meuse River today, the American
guns enfllading the German positions
from three sides. This was made
possible by the advance Thursday.

Chas. 8. Mellen Wins
Suit for Separation
(I‘ International News lcwln.)
PITTSFIELD, MASS., Sept. 28.--Chas.
8. Mellen, former prr-lcinn' of the New
Haven Raflroad, won his suit for sepa
ration from Mrs, Katheryn 1. Mellen in
the Probate Court here today., Judge
E. T. Blocum found that Mrs. Mellen
had deserted her husband and was liv.
ms vort from him. Mrs. Mellen's eoun
sel, M. B. Warner, filed an appeal with
the Supreme Court J
uation. This now has been changed.
The most significant development fol
lowing the massing of the American
forces on the western front, where
they have Leen constantly in action
against the German crack divisions,
has been the fact that Germany now
is unable to withdraw a single divi
sion from the west to send to keep
Bulgaria_ in the war.
The defection of Bulgaria as a re
sult is so obviously of supreme impor
tance that it needs no detailed mih
tary explanation, in General March's
opinion. It is obvious, he said, to all
that it means the elimination of Tur
key as a help to Germany, and very
probably means the return of Roumas
nia to the war as an active ally of the
Allied nations,
And with all this accomplished, the
general said, the American attacking

Atlantans who use electric lights

when they start settling bills for

23 1-23 per cent in rates.
Georgia Railway and Power Com
pany officlals made this announce
ment Saturday following the decision
of Judge Z. A. Littlejohn, of Ameri
cus, Friday afternoon, declining the
injunction asked by the city and the
citizens' committee’ to prevent the
proposed rates. Judge Littlejohn
held that the State Railroad Commis
sion had power to grant the increases
and the city immediately gave notice
that the case would be carried to the
State Supreme Court, t
The Increases originally were
granted as effective of Fep#mher B
but the city gained a temporary stay
of execution of the order, Now that
the company has won the people must
pay the increases for the time that
their operation has been held up by
court order., So the consumers’ bills
next week for the month of Septem
ber will be about one-third larger
than heretofore,
Accounting ‘ls Ordered.
Judge Littlejohn, in anticipation of
a test of his ueomu{. in the Supreme
Court, orderad that the Georgia Rall
way and Power Company keep a
striet accounting of the increases in
the matter of each individual con
sumer, so that a correct rebate could
be made by the company in the event
the Supreme Court should reverse his
ruling.
It was considered certain that it
will be several months before the Su
preme Court can, pass on the appeal,
and consequently the net amount of
increase In the Interim will be con
siderable. Because of this expected
long delay before final adjudication
of the matter, all consumers Satur
day were urged to keep thelr gas and
electric biils for the rebate account
ing with the power company should
there be such.
Lawyers sald the taking of the
case to the Supreme Court by the
city would mark the first time that
the Jjurisdiction and ‘powers of the
Railroad Commission will have been
passed on by that tribunal,
Judge Littiejohn, in deeclding
against the city, held that the Rail
