PEACE ACTION OPENS UP NEW PHASE OF WAR

If Bulgaria Accepts Terms of Allies and Quits Fighting Turkey Is Expected to Follow.

AUSTRIA-HUHGrARY WILL AGAIN BE SURROUNDED

Late Reports From Bulgaria Indicate That Peace Offer Comes From Government Instead of From Official.

BULLETIN.

LONDON, Sept. 28.—Great Britain has replied to the Bulgarian request for an armistice. The reply, it is stated, is fully covered by the answer given the Bulgarian representatives by the commander of the allied army |on the Macedonian front. By this reply it is perfectly well defined that jno military operations can be suspended.

At the same time regarding the proposal that duly accredited Bulgarian representatives should confer with the allies on the question of peace, it has been made quite clear to the Sofia government that such a peace necessarily involves a complete rupture by the Bulgarian government with Turkey, Germany and AustriaHungary.

i BULLETIN. LONDON, Sept. 28.—The city and fortress* of Veles, one of the imi portant bases of the Bulgarian forces in southern Serbia on the Vardar river, has been captured by Serbian troops, the Serbian war office announces in a statement dated Friday.

The Serbian forces are pushing on from Yeles toward Uskub. The troops defending Veles were taken prisoner.

AMERICAN TROOPS GAIN 91 FAR NORTH

ARCHANGEL, Sept. 24.—(By the Associated Press.)—American troops who are taking part in the operations in virtually all sectors on the northern Russian front have captured several villages in recent fighting.

The net result of the fighting, in which the Americans co-operated with the British and Russians in the taking of many more places in the last ten days along the Dvina, is

more than 60 miles.

Admiral Von Hintze Tells Reichstag Bulgarian People Are Against An Armistice.

LONDON, Sept. 28.—The publication

Berlin semi-official newspapers of Bulgaria's armistice request was the cause of the greatest panic in the German capital, according to adivees received at Copenhagen and forwarded bjr the Exchange Telegraph company there.

Admiral Von Hintze, the German foreign secretary, according to the ad- I vices, in a speech before the main committee of the reichstag, said that the difficulties of the Bulgarians between the Vardar and the Cerna evidently had not been favorably explained by Premier Maiinoff and the Bulgarian government, because on Thursday Bulgaria proposed to the entente commander to open peace negotiations.

Admiral Von Hintze said that from the reports, which were incomplete, it was not yet clear whether the Bulgarian government had acted in accordance with the army's desires or on its own initiative. There wrere indications, he said, that Premier Malinoff's move would be disavowed by later developments,
