I How has the Bulgarian army been
able TO administer such a crushing
i.defeat to the Turkish forces?% was
asked. After considering the question
she replied:
1T is in one way. proof OF the
power OF Christianity over the spirit
of Mohammedanism. The Christian
soldiers Of the allied states have been
lighting to lberate themselves from
the rule Of a non-Christian nation and
lthey have been fighting with a won
lderfuI zeal. The Mohammedans are
possessed with the idea Of fatalism.
If it is ordained that they shall win
in battle, they think that battle is
already won. Naturally this does not
encourage heroic fighting.
Turks Led By Germans.
But that is by no means the only
reason why the Turks have not been
able to conquer. They have been well
trained, yes. but trained by foreign
officers. mostly Germans. Even now
they are led largely by Germans, and
their very commands are spoken in
the German tongue. They are i'll fed,
half starved and disconnected. The
strength and proves of the Turkish
army have been vastly overestimated,
incidentally it is not the Bulgar-
lans. alone, who have been doing all
the lighting. The very army that is
now pressing upon Gonstantinople has
in it not only Bulgarians. but $4,000
servians and $4,000 Greeks. That
army is simply following out that part
of the schedule allotted to it.
lie believe that the war is about
over. The allies will hardly take
ConstaninopIe. for they do not want
to posses the capital OF Turkey What
they have been fighting for and what,
now. they will be undoubtedly able
to get, is the freedom of Macedonia
and Albania. And those two states,
when given autonomy, Will be a part
OF the empire. or confederation to be
formed"
-But what isl the cause OF the APP
parent uneasineSs of the European
| powers over the Soutcome OF the stu
ation?" she was asked.
