Dreams Of Conquest
Have Come to a Tragic Close

Springfield Republican,: No histori-
cal drama of our time has so many
points of tragic interest as the swift
lquietuS put upon Bulgarian dreams of
conquest. When Kinglake passed
through that region toward the middle
of the last century, notSonly was there
no Bulgaria, but the people, despite
the propaganda of certain authors.
seemed to have no conception of a dis
tinct Bulgar race, regarding them
selves as mongrel Ottoman, Hellenes.
Lying under the shadow of CONSTANT
lnople and isolated from Europe they
took no part in the rising which lib
Grated Servia and Greece. Their spirit
seemed broken, their national feeling
dead. Greek had become the ianguage
of the upper classes, and ven Bulgar-
ian was printed in Greek characters.
The Greek liturgy was used in their
churches. and the peasants, though
they spoke the ~vernacular, called
themselves Hellenes.
About 1924, however, several books
In Bulgarian had appeared, and in 1895
the firstfschool was established; within
a decade there were fifty-three, and
five presses were printing Bulgarian
literature. The first struggle of the
lreviving nation was not against Turk
ish rule, still too strong to challenge,
but against the oppression by the
Greek church which Turkey permitted
The struggle was long and bitter, and
it was not till 1870 that the Bulgarian
exarcnate was established, and not till
1879 that an exarch was appointed.

then in 1877 Russia declared war on
Turkey. In that war the Bulgarian
volunteers distinguished themselves,
and at it's close, though the treaty of
San Stefano, which would have created
a "big Bulgaria. was set aside, the
treaty of Berlin gave what was prac-
tically Bulgarian independence.
Z But ambition was already awake,
and Bulgaria began at once to scheme
for extending it's frontiers and taking
the primacy in the peninsula. In
eastern Rumelia, as most maps still
call southern Bulgaria, the population
was mainly Bulgar and in 1885 the
bold step of annexation was made.
Servia, already Jealous of its pushful
n%eighbor, declared war. To the sur
prise of Europe, the Bulgarians, though
badly equipped and having few trained
officers, drove back the Servian invad-
ers and inflicted a crushing defeat at
Slivnitza.
For years after that the history of
both countries consisted of obscure in
trigues. But Bulgaria, unlike Servia,
had a definite goal, and was, working
toward 1t with the patience and tenac-
ity which from the first characterized
this young and yirile nation. To
.outclass the other Balkan rulers Prince
Ferdinand was made a car, Austria
abetting and incidentally striking Ser
via by ~annexing Bosnia and Here
govfna. To tighten claims on Mace
donia, a merciless campaign of massa-
ere was kept up, the blame for which
must be shared with the Greeks.
When Greek statesmen proposed the
alliance Bulgaria assented, but with
what selfish ends has been made plain;
from the outset, apparently, it counted
on using the allies while the war last
ed, and then taking the lions share.
In It's rise and fall we have an impress
sive lesson in small space on the sin
and folly of too grasping ambition.

cause to feel pride In the gallant Of
ficer that stood in front Of the mur-

his unflinching bravery foiled its
bloody purpose. 1t has become so
common that it is sickening to read
of the "overpowering" of officers in
charge Of prisoners by mobs and the
lynching of the miserable wretches;
the giving up Of the keys at the
muzzles Of pistols, etc. 1t Is re-
freshing to read at last of a man
who had Q mans realization of a
mans duty and who performed II
in a manly manner. The imperish-
able words uttered by this dauntless
sheriff will always be remembered
when brave utterances are recalled.

hearsed beforehand. but evry word
was mant and the mob knew 1t.
