A strango esse of fraud on the Office is revealed in the Report of the Comptroller and Auditor-General. on the Army Appropriation Account for 1911-12.
Two pensions granted i 1814 were paid for nearly 100 years, and no suspicion was raised till 1908, when, "in view of the advanced age of the pensionare," the cases were reported for special investigation. The result was the discovery that the pensioners had been impersonated for mary years.
The Army funds, states the report, were defrauded of about £439.

BULGARIA AND THE POWERS
PROPOSALS.
The Bulgarian Quarters regard the Powers' proposals as almost impossible to consider, as the Rodosio and Medin line is urgently necessary both from trade and military points of view. The new boundary would give Turkey the battlefields of Chorlu and neighbour- bood, where so much Bulgarian blood and tremure have been spent. It would also be a menace to Adrianople and Dedeagatch railway, which was Bul- garia's only means of access to the Aegean. The Bulgarians believe that the purely stragetical objections to Rodosto and Media could be overcome if Bulgaris agreed not to maintain a fleet in the Sea of Mormors.
