had not confined himself to entreating our intervention
but had also sent an imploring telegram to King Charles
of Rumania, the latter proposed convening a conference
of the belligerents at Bukharest, in order to proceed to
the simultaneous conclusion of an armistice and of peace.
Our Foreign Secretary readily agreed to the change of
place for the negotiations, the belligerents also agreed,
and on the 17th (30th) July, the first sitting of the peace
conference took place in Bukharest under the presidency
of the Rumanian Prime Minister, M. Majoresco ; the
next day, the 18th (31st) July, an armistice of five days
was signed. All the efforts of the Bulgarian delegates
to make the peace conditions imposed by their enemies
less hard for Bulgaria—efforts in which we supported
them—met with no success. And under pressure from
Rumania, who absolutely refused to prolong the
armistice, the Bulgarians on the 24th July (6th August), were
forced to accept the peace conditions dictated by their
adversaries.
