EARLIER TELEGRAMS.

THE BULGARIAN PEACE PROPOSAL,

الخبره

A Desire to Bad Bloodshed,

Copenhagen, Sept. 99. A message from Soña, dated 28th, says: The parties of the Ministerial Bloc publish the following note: "In accord with the parties of the Bloc Government yesterday at noon we made an official offer of an armistice to our adversary," The parties of the Bloe invite the army and population to maintain military and public discipline which is so necessary for a happy issue in these times which are decisive for the recently begun work of peace. Parliamoort has been con- voked for the 30th. September."

The following official announcement leaves no doubt that the Bulgarian request for an armistice comes from a repre sentative quarter: "In view of the conjunctivă of cir- cumstances that has recently arisen and after the position bas been jointly discussed with all competent authorities the Bulgarian Government, desiring to end the bloodshed, ass empowered the Generalissimo of her field' armies to propose, to the Entente Generalissimo at Salonika a cessation of hostilities in order to begin negotiations with the object of concluding an armistice and peace.”

German Anxiety."

"

Amsterdam, Sept. 28. The German newspapers are most perrous regarding Bulgaria and assert that heavy German reinforcements are rushing thither in order to strengthen the pro-German

elements.

The "Lokalitazriger," "Fossische," "Tageblatt" and' *Germania" exhort the German nation to be calm in this fateful nour.

The "Lokalanzeiger says that communication with Con- stantinople must be maintained at all costs.

The Vorwaerts" says: "From the day of Matinoff's appointment it was well known in political circles that our alliance was in the greatest danger. In addition to the Cabinet's pro-Entente sentiments there is an extraordinarily ardent desire fur peace on the part of the people whose tyod for months has been crumbling and indigestible, maize bread. Even if the supporters of the alliance regain the upper and there can be no illusion regarding the value of the preservation of the alliance for Germany.

The "Vorwaerts," after referring to the possibility of the collapse of the German defence on the western front, can- cludes: "The hour has arrived to speak plainly. It is no longer a question of conquests, but of attaining peace with- out unbeatable burdens." The Government must do its utmost to come to the Conference table most speedily."

The "Yene Freie Presse" says: Austria has taken mea sures to insure reinforcements reaching the Bulgarians at the earliest and declares that the retreating Bulgars are getting into touch with the Austrians: Albania has been. removed from the control of the Bulgarian command. The journal assumes that a new front will be established ensuring the eastern communications of the Central Powers.

The Frankfurter Zeitung's" Vienna correspondent says: As a result of the alarming news from Bulgaria Premier Hussarey summoned the party leaders and discussed the advisability of pruraking the Beichsrath. It is rumoured that Premier Hussarek has been ordered to form a coalition Ministry. The Hungarian Premier has arrived in Vienna.

Von Hintze Speaks

London, Sept. 29. - Von Hintze, speaking in the Reichstag, said that Ger- many and Austria are throwing all their available reserves into Bulgaria. The situation however remained critical and be endeavoured to convince the Reichstag that the armistice proposal had caused great indignation in Bulgaria.

On the suggestion of von Hintze the Reichstag has de- cided not to discuss the Bulgarian situation in public...

German Retreat in Rumania.

Paris, Sept. 28.

Swiss reports state tost German forces occupying Ru mania have begun to retreat. The German civil authorities at Bakharest are hastily removing their archives. It is per sistently rumoured that there have been general, risings of the population in occupied Rumanía.

- Acceptance of Proposal Doubtful,

Landon, Sept. 29. The "Times" understands that it is regarded as doubtful whether any request for an armistice by Bulgaria can be entertained at this stage of the operations

THE ADVANCE IN MACEDONIA.

London, Sept. 29,

An Italian Macedonia official message states: We-have overcome an obstinate defence, advanced across the rugged massif of Mt. Baba, and broken the strong resistance of the enemy rearguards in the region westward of Krusevo. We have continued our forward march astride Krasevocer road and occupied Priblich and Kocista.

A Serbian communique says: We have taken Mount Plachkaricha and are appropening. Caravofelo and Saint Nicholas. We are now northward of Veles. Big fires are seen round Uskub. The Serbians alone have hitherto cap tured 180 guns,

'GOVERNOR OF METZ. REMOVED,

London, Sept. 28.
