" Reports that the Bulgarian army was secretly mobilized on the Serbian frontier have been received in this country several times during the past three months. ' The purpose of the mobilization was never explained, nor have recent dis patches indicated any reason for strife between Bulgaria and Serbia. The reported movement of the Bulgarians may have some connection with the peace terms as anticipated .in Bul garia. The Bulgarian treaty has not yet been completed by the peace conference.

' MANY LOOSE ENDS STILL UNDECIDED Reply of Allied Powers To Ger man Counter-Proposals Will ; Be Ultimatum (By Th Associated Press,) Paris, June 8. There are siill many loose cads to the determinations whieh must be mode 'before the reply of the allie to th German counter-proposals can be submitted to Count von Brock dorff BaaUaa, Bead of - the Oermaa plenipotentiaries, and evea the ,ues tion of principle regarding changes in the treaty bis not beea definitely set tled. Nevsrtheless, th member of the commissions of expert profess ' coa fideaco that they will be able to com plete their report to the council of four by Monday or Tuesday 1 had the members of the council themselves seem sure thst they will be able to present th allied reply oa Thursday or Friday. --. . Th reply will be submitted aa an ultimatum with a short tim limit, probably about four days', ia whieh Germany will either have to take or leave the conditions as offered them. Ne Material Chang. Th most important modifleatioa un der consideration, namely, the ques- tioa ot reparation, probably will aot iavolve aay material changea in the treaty as originally presented. Ths eon cessions will, instead, be presented ia the form of a eupplementary agree ment, defining the proecedure for the reparation eommiasioa and preserib ing certain Instructions for thst body, whieh, according to the original draft of the treaty, wax givea a most com preheaaive power of action, subject only to the instructions of the powers represented ea the eommiamoa. Thia aew solution whieh is expected to emerge from tho deliberations of ths experts, will dodge fixation of a dell ait monetary total for reparations to which the French object, en the ground that anaonaeement of aay sum which it 1 coasidered possible to exact ia paymeat would so disappoint the expeetatioas of the French public as to cause a political upheaval. Weald Satisfy German. Th supplementary agreement also would meet the objection of the Ger mant, who declared they were to be asked to pay off a debt the extent of which waa unknown, aad with the pop ulation in virtually economic slsvery to the -reparations eommiasioa ander that elause of the treaty requiring Oer many to 'devote her economic re source directly to the physical restnr tioa of the invaded areas of the allied aad associated powers to the extent that these powers my determine." Th Instructions to the repsrrtions commission in the proposed supplemen tary agreement would enable th Ger asaaa to know at once th amount of reparations due under certain "rate goriea" of reparations, such as pensions, separation allownnres, maintenance of war prisoners and the destruction of ships st a Died figure per ton. . It was fonnd impossible, however, to fix any total sum for all categories, since the roat of reconstruction and restoration in the devnststed regions cannot be estab lished until after aa lexteasive survey. aad the only general estimate on which the French ar willing to aet would bring th total to 290 billion franc, whieh th expert quit generally agreed waa bevoad Oermany power to pay, No Chaag A Te Kaiser. Ia addition to .loarninj at once the defatte tnitruetioae oa which the per Wianont eom mission will act,- the Ger man! will also be assured that a car tels amount ot working capital will be left them, including, probably, ton nage for overseas trad, without which they profess Inability to make the re quired reparations.

Th ehaago la reparations probably will de lay presentation of the reparation clauses ia the Austrian treaty which will be made to eoaform to the Ger man proviso under the principle of Jointrnd-aereral responsibility and d minietration 1r the- em permanent eommlssloa. - NO FIXED AMOUNT WILL BE DEMANDED French Object JStrenuously To Middle Course Adopted By Allied Powers (By The Associated Press.) Oermany will know the deeiaioa of the pesce conference on her counter proposals to the treaty by Thuraday or Friday of next week, according to the latest dispatches front Pari. it understood; the allied and as sociated governments hv decided to adopt a middle course ss bstweea the fixing of a definite sum to be exacted from Oermany, a proceeding streau; ously objected to by the French as likely to lead to a political apkeaval due to the - diaappointmeat of the French public, and the provisions of the draft of the treaty handed the Germans, which the latter have declared meaa economic slavery. Th reparation to be demanded for certain forma of al lied claim will b mad knowa to th Germans, but not all of them, a th only rim for the total loose which th French hive declared themselves will ing to sgres to mounts to a figure the expert declare Oermany will be unable to pay.

Th clause of th treaty concerning responsibilities, punishment of the former Kaiser aad the disposition of Germany' oversea eoloaies liksly will stand a set forth la the original draft of the treaty, while a plebiscite In upper Silesia with regard to the future sovereignty of the district ia believed to have been definitely decided upon.
