nople the crown of the enemy of the
Byzantines, Boris H., and deprived
Damian. the Bulgarian patriarch. Of
his see.
Bulgaria at that time lacked farsee-
ing statesmen. She became "A selfish
power within herself and against all
others. There was competition for
emolument within herself, and the BY
zantines did not find great difficulty in
destroying this disorganized state.
In the year 1O1S the Emperor Basil
Of By2antium, known as Slayer of the
Uulgariaus, put an end to Bulgarian
existence. particularly in the west, to-
ward the Adriatic. This war continu-
ed for twenty-eight years. and then for

1OI years Bulgaria and the Bulgarians
remained under the rule of the Byzan-
tines.
Weakness Develops.
Byzantium, however, was weak in
herself. She did not continue in a po-
SitOn to cope with dangerous and diff
cult problems since her own rulers
were not firmly fixed upon their seats
and because of internal jealousies and
discussions. Here it was said that
graft weakened the Byzantines, just as
it is said to have made their success
sOrS, the Turks, weak in the present
war with the Balkan allies.
Dollars ASen and Peter, descendants
Of the first czars Of Bulgaria, made
successful revolution in Tirnovo in the
early part of the twelfth century, OBJ
tained independence of the Bulgars
and proclaimed the second Bulgarian
empire.
Asen l. and his successors, notably
Asen H., greatly increased the powers
and territory of the second Bulgaria,
waging victorious wars with the
Greeks and the crusaders and extend
ing the boundaries Of the empire still
more widely than in the time of Boris
IL. They annexed Moesia, Thracia,
Macedonia and Albania as far as Du-
razzo, which is now the Adriatic port
Of contention between the Servians and
the Austrians.
But the second Bulgarian empire was
as weak as the first in lacking any
definite state policy. Apparently its
leaders were fighting for aggrandize-
ment without knowing why. They
formed no alliances. There was no
higher inspiration than rehabilitation
and revenge which prompted their war
like moves. Therefore 1t was In the
position OF being strong and aggressive
when the throne was held by a strong
and aggressive czar and weak and in
effectual when the ruler was incapable.
Engaged In Many Wars.
the country was aggravated by the
many wars and expeditions which were
carried on without definite purpose.
These weakened it and prepared 1t for
catastrophe. These facts led to the
establishment of stroNg Servian
kingdom, which made its capital at
Uskub, under the Servian Car Dou-
shan, In the first half Of the fourteenth
century. This division Of power made
it easy for the Turks to conquer Bull
garia and later the whole Balkan pen
insula.
Bulgaria then disappeared as an In
dependent nation for FIVE centuries un-
til the domination of the Turkish en-
pire was broken down by the efforts
Of the Russians and the Roumanians.
Then the Berlin treaty gave Bulgaria
practical liberty, and in 1908 Ferdi-
nand declared the absolute independ-
ence Of the Bulgarians and proclaimed
himself czar. Until then he had been
prince. The title czar is clearly
traced through 1,S00 years from Cae-
sar. One form of 1t is kaiser.
For nearly 400 years the Bulgarians
have been preparing for the war with
Turkey. The result of this training is
seen In the third appearance of the
great Bulgarian empire under Car
Ferdinand.

BULGARS' THIRD
POWER AMONG
Thrice Risen From the
Oppressed and the
Lowly Masses.
,..ss.s.s.......s......s......s aNNN...--

T%HE quick ascendancy of Bulga-
ria into the society of powerful
81 nations is the third evolution
which has elevated the Bulgars
from among the oppressed and the low
ly masses Twice before Bulgaria has
existed as free and independent ma
tion, ana each time she has known
the clorics of worldwide influence. In
the past her territory was far greater
than the present Bulgaria and perhaps
greater than will be the new Bulgaria
regretted from the tumbling ruins Of
the Ottoman empire.
Bulgarian traditions extend to \. d..
go. when Il tribe called Bulgarlans ap-
peared from the direction of the Dan
ube. under the leadership of Asparuch.
They were not Slavs, ana history has
not determined if they were Uralhans,
Finnish. TartarS or Turks.
But these Bulgarians who settled
south of the Danube were a powerful
tribe. and their desire to conquer was
backed by a strong system of state or
ganizatiOn. Asparuch knew how to or
ganize his forces into a government,
and it was under him that the first
scmblance of government appeared
among the Bugarians. His people be
came military and accustomed to dis
cipline and to leadership. Those fac
tors were absent from the Balkan Sla-
vonic tribes and were necessary for the
single tribal, territorial and political
whole found in the Bulgarians under
Asparuch.
This state organization was effected
on the ruins Of numerous tribes which
had lived in the Balkan peninsula for
generations History says the Slavs
reached and settled that country first
in the third century and that even
then they found the ruins of towns and
roads left by the Romans. But those
early occupants of the territory left no
descendants. and the first traditions of
the land really sprang from the Bulga-
rians under Asparuch.

Adoption of Christianity.

An epoch in the early career of the
Bulgars was marked when they and
the Slavs, in the reign of Boris, adopt
ed Christianity In S64. This faith was
adopted for purely political reasons,
and it had a great influence internally
and externally.
Internally 1t brought about a close
union between the Bulgars and the
Slavs, and by means of common lit
erature it placed on an equality the
habits, customs and language of both.
Externally Bulgaria appears as an
empire in the congress of nations. On
the geographical maps Of that day
Bulgaria is shown as an empire ex-
tending across the Balkan peninsula
and down nearly to the Bosporus.
Following the adoption of Christian
ity there is no mention in historical
records of tribal or racial division be-
tween the invaders and the conquer
ors. The conquerors contented them
selves with establishing a great Bul.
garian state, and they adopted the
language of mixed mass Of people
and assimilated the races.
Simeon the Great, son of Boris, be
came the first czar of Bulgaria, and
with him occurs the first mention of
such a title. At the same time the
first Bulgarian archbishop was created
a patriarch, and there history records
the division between and cooperation
Of the state and church. These titles
however, were not recognized by the
Byzantine empire, then the greatest
on the earth. until the reign Of Peter
| son of Simeon.
