PEACE TERMS THE BULGARIAN TREATY. SERBIAN DELEGATES UNDECIDED. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. PARIS, September 11. Bulgaria will receive the Peace Treaty on Saturday. Owing to tho fall of the Serbian Government tho Serbian delegates are unable to decide what attitude to take regarding tho treaty.—A. and N.Z. Cable. AMERICAN REPUBLICAN • CAMPAIGN. AGAINST TILE TREATY. NEW YORK, September 10. _ The campaign against President Wilson is assuming large proportions. Senators Johnson, Borah, and others are speaking in various cities against tho Peace Treaty. Senator Norris declared that President Wihon had cavorted around with representatives of monarchies, and had wasted moro money in travelling than was ever expended by any prince or potentate.— Router. THE FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE. A MINORITY REPORT. WASHINGTON, September 11. The minority report of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee says.that rejection of the Peace Treaty will involve the sacrifice on the part of the United States of all tho concessions obtained from Germany. The report deplores the delay. It is pointed out that the proposed majority report's reservations would destroy the League of Nations without substituting anything for it. It also points out that it would be impossible to recall the German delegates to Paris if they refused to come, and the United States will be obliged to settle directly its own treatv with Germany.—A. and N.Z. Cable. RUMANIA AND THE TREATY. WHY AMERICA WANTS TO QUARREL. A MATTER OF TRADE RIVALRY. PARIS, September 11. (Received Sept. 12, at 9 p.m.) An article in Le Journal states that the Peace Conference is exasperated at Rumania's action. The Americans are seeking a quarrel because Rumania has not allowed the Standard Oil Company to secure Rumania's petroleum supplies, and also because Rumania's wheat exports interfere with America's. Rumania is able to stand firm because she commands the Russian wheat, of which she cannot be deprived.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
