BULGARIA ON THE DEFENSIVE

Until their wrongs are righted or
their country wiped off the map of Eu.
rope, the Bulgarians are ready to
strike ON the defensive. Bulgaria has
issued its note to the powers and the
moment has arrived when Europe must
intervene Immediately and effectively
to avert conflict which may spread
until it involves a half dozen distinct
governments.
Bulgaria's note is an appeal, but its
threatening tone is unambiguous.
It charges that the Turks are engag-
ed in the systematic humiliation of
the Bulgarians. Closing, it declares
that If the great powers do not take
measures to give the sublime porte
counsel of wisdom and moderation,
1.-THE Bulgarian government will be
obliged to take necessary steps to be
ready for every eventually and to not
be taken by surprise"
Bulgaria has acted wisely in not
sending an ultimatum to the sultan.
1t would elicit only torrent of deni-
ais, excuses and apologies, and the
nassacres would continue in the even
tenor of their way. The ultimatum
has virtually and rightly been sent tc
the powers, and, if Intervention does
not follow at once, it may be expected
that some frontier incident will precip
ltate war.
The central question of the Balkan
disturbances has reduced itself to
How long can Bulgaria be held il
check? She has laid her case before
the tribunal of powerful nations, and
if relief is not given, she can hardly b.
blamed for taking matters into her owl
hands, even though she should start
fire that would consume her,
In the meantime the rest of the worlt
may await developments and incident
ally look askance upon the wildly ex
aggerated stories of slaughter andhavo,
which emanate from Sofia and othe
