(Associated Prt'sa Diapntch.)
Copenhagen, Oct. 19.—While Em-
peror William am! King Ferdinand of
Bulgaria have been exchanging assur-
ances at Sofia of the unshakable loy-
alty of Dulgurla and Germany to eaeh
other and of the permanent nature of
the alliance of the two countries, Bul-
garian agents abroad have been en-
deavoring to get into touch with tlie
entente power? on the subject of peace
and subsequent relations. Their ef-
forts are declared to be inspired by
apprehension that Germany and Aus-
tria Hungary, particularly the latter,
may not be over zealous in defending
Halgaria's intere.-t at the peace con-
ference.
The Associate,1 Press correspondent
is able to report thai a Bulgarian rep-
resentative recently sought arid ob-
tained an opportunity in a neutral Eu-
ropean capltol to lay before the en-
tente governments the desires of his
country with regard to a peace settle-
ment and in one sided conversation ex-
plained Bulgarian aspirations to re-
gain an independent political status as
soon as the war was concluded and re-
sume cordial relations with the entente
po wers.
Must Play Minor Hole.
As the case was presented, in short,
the central European idea of an econ-
omic league in which Bulgaria would
play a comparatively minor role docs
not appeal to the Bulgarian mind.
Attempts are also being made to
get before the public in America and
In the entente countries a defense of
Bulgarian pretensions to Macedonia
Hnd the Dobrudja, the suggestion even
being openly made from the Bulgarian
side that Servia should be compen-
sated with Austrian territory from
Bosnia and Herzegovina, a suggestion
which is pointed to as illustrative of
the attitude of many Bulgarians to-
ward their own allies.
.loalous of AIIUs,
The correspondent has of late heard
of considerable ill feeling between the
Bulgarians and their allies. Com-
plaints are made that Bulgarian divis-
ions wire compelled to march long dis-
tances on foot while favored German
troops lolled past them in trains, tills
favoritism exciting particular bitter-
ness on the part of a select Bulgarian
division from the capltol.
The German attempt to maintain
control of Bulgaria's single coal field
has excited much unfriendly comment
also in Bulgaria arid Field Marshal von
Mackensen Is charged with favoring
the Roumanians at Bulgarian expense.
Furthermore the press controversy in
certain German and Austrian news-
papers in which the Servian claims
to parts of Macedonia were defended
apparently has left an indelible Im-
pression of distrust on Bulgarian pub-
lic opinion, an impression which the
public declarations of the German
minister and the Interchanges of cor-
dial telegrams between German and
Bulgarian statesmen seem to have
been unable to efface. It remains to
be seen whether Emperor William's
trip, declared to have been under-

sen of the three masted American
bark l'aolina, 1,103 tons, said that

mans then came alongside, looted her
and sank her with bombs, he said.
The captain and crew escaped.
Another crew who said they were
from the American schooner McCrae
of l'hiladelphla, reported that three
months ago their ship was torpedoed
by a submarine near Brest, but did
not sink. The Germans looted her
and then abandoned her later, they
said. She was towed into Brest and
eold.
Also on the same liner was the
crew of the four masted schooner

■Inking had been previously reported.

on the announcement from Washing-

Men With Money Warned to Purchase
Liberally of the Liberty Bonds or Have
Wealth Confiscated; Appeal Is Issued
(Temple Telegram Social,)
Dallas, Tex., Oct. 19.—Men
who have money were warned
tonight to make up their minds
to choose between lending their
wealth to the government and
having it confiscated. Promising
thnt the government "surely will
get after the big man for the big
amounts," Deputy Gov. Hoopes
of the reserve bank here Issued
an urgent appeal to the people to
subscribe liberally to the Liberty
loan at once. This appeal fol-
lows In part: "The greatest point
to the Liberty loan is the atti-
tude of the wealthy man, who
says, 'I can do better with my
money than buying Liberty
bonds.' There are thousands of
well-to-do men who are buying
Liberty bonds of the one thou-
sand dollars denomination, who
could purchase one hundred thou-
sand dollars worth, and who ad-
mit frankly that they would pur-
chase bonds to the last mentioned
amount if they were not subject
lo Income surtax. These men
should realize that without thetr
help the loan will fall. Then,
surely as night follows day, the
government will Increase their
surtaxes to a point that will take
away the best part of their in-
come for the year. The govern-
ment surely will get after the big
man for the big amounts. Was
there ever a clearer example of
the advantage of loaning money
to the government in preference
to confiscation ns is exemplified
in the case of theso wealthy men?
It is nothing but sound common
sense, business sense, for this class
of man to wake up and realize
that he has but a few days in
which to make up his mind
whether he will loan his wealth
or have it confiscated."

morrow, The antis had a monster pa-
rade last night and the pro* staged
theirs this afternoon. Both sides claim
victor)'. The county voted wet by 8f>9
majority five years ago. the total vote
being 8,597.
The government takes the position*
that it is merely following the preced-
ent Bet by the. French government
when it moved to Bordeaux the first
year ot the war.
The announcement of the decision
Is to bo made to the preliminary par-
liament at its first meeting. Quarters
tire to be, found in Moscow for the par-;
llament and also for the diplomatic
corps.
The correspondent was Informed
last night by diplomatic representa-
tives here that they had not been of-'
ficinlly notified of the decision. They
understood, however, that the govern-
ment had sought quarters for them in
Moscow in the event of an emergency.
After the capture of Itiga by the
German preparations for removal of
the government to Moscow were be-'
gun. The failure of the Germans to
develop thi ir offensive after takipi:
Riga, as well as the approach of v. .li-
ter weather making open campaigning
imprai tienble, relieved the fears of the
safety of l'etrograd for the lle.tr fu-
ture. l.ast Weil: announcement was
made that the preparations for trans-
ferring tin; sent of government had
been .stopped ns there was no prospect
that such action would be necessary,

cient capital. The turb'.Kut (»-»?. ieal
conditions in Petrograd and the pres-
ence there of large numbers of ex-
tremists and agitators may also have
Influenced the cabinet.

miles southwest of Petrograd, is a
naval station and with Helsingfors and

WASHINGTON. f>. C„ Oct. Hi,— The American army trans-
port Antilles, homeward bound under convoy was tor-
pedoed and sunk by a German submarine in tile war zone
Wednesday. About seventy men are missing and probably lost.
All the army and navy officers aboard and the ship's master
were among the 1f>7 survivors. The missing are members of
the crew, three civilian engineers, some enlisted men of the
navy and seventeen (if thirty-three soldiers returning home for
various reasons. Neither the submarine nor the torpedo were
seen'and the transport, hit squarely amidships, sank in five
minutes.
FlltST Sl'CCKSS AGAINST I . S. TKANSI'OUTS.
This tragedy of the sea, the first, in which an American ship
engaged in war duty has been lost, is the first of its magnitude
to bring home to the people (if the United States the rigors of
the war in which they have engaged against Germany. It car-
ries the largest casualty list of the war of American lives and
marks the first success of German submarine attacks on Ameri-
can transports. That the loss of life w as not greater is due to
the safeguards with which the navy has surrounded the trans-
port service and the quick rescue work
of the convoying warships.
Secretary Daniels announced the
duafeUr tonight ivi a statement based
upon a brief dispatch from Vice Ad-
miral Sims which gave few details and
did not say whether it was a day or
night attack. An accurate list of the
intoning cannot be Issued until General
I'ershiiitf reports the names of the
army men on the vessel and the list

announcement:
