LONDON, Sept. 28
| It is understood that the view in official circles is that peace with Bulgaria would have a prodigious effect, especially with Turkey. It would free the whole of the Salonika army in certain eventualities j in connection with Turkey. It would also free the Palestine and Mesopotamian armies and kill the German menace to the East; moreover, it would probably affect advantageously the food situation. These results" could [only be obtainable by , a complete , rupture of the political and military . relations between Bulgaria and the .Central Powers and Allied occupation of the communications between Bulgaria and Austro-Hungary. Presumably this will be one of the essentials of an armistice."—Reuter. PARIS, Sept. 28. t Later information regarding the Bulgarian situation states, that a high Bulgarian officer brought a letter to the British Commander-in-Chief from the Bulgar Generalissimo asking for 48 hours' suspension of hostilities and mentioning that Bulgaria proposed to send the Minister of Finance and the Commander of the Second Army, on behalf of the Government and with King Ferdinand's approval, to discuss the terms of an armistice.—Reuter.
