Still, Russia's attitude towards us since that time has been such that we have to fight continually against | being absorbed.
 s'The same feeling which caused
 Bulgaria to fear Russia causes her people to sympathiZe with Japan. The people of Bulgaria know the ezar is pursuing the same policy in the Orient as in the Balkans, and that Russia is trying to absorb the territory of a weaker nation. Japanese victories are received exultantly at Sofia.'
