An Appeal for Justice

That war itself, under any cir
cumstances, is barbarous, there Is
no question of a doubt, but the un-
restrained atrocities that were com
mitted between the Balkan allies
and the Turks in the recent war
eclipses anything known in modern
warfare. After the Turks had been
defeated, the Bulgarians, ac tuated
by avarice and greed, turned upon
those who had been their allies,
namely the Greeks, and waged a
most savage war in which the atroc-
tiles were far more than during the
war with Turkey. Concerning these
Econflicts of murder and loot ana the
recent attempts of the Bulgrians to
elicit sympathy form America and
10 fasten the blame for barbarism
upon Greece, the Atlantis, a Greek
newspaper published in New York,
has the following appeal for fairness
ito Greek people, who strenuously
deny the allegations of brutality,
which we print in part:
For some time past the suffering
and starving hordes Of Bulgaria
have been called to the attention
and sympathies OF the American
public with emphasis and persist
cnce-so be it-great suffering and
distress undoubtedly exists = the
consequence Of terrible and devastat-
ing war, and the unwillipgnessor or in
ability of grasping government
and n people lacking both patriotism
and coordination to grapple with
conditions and bring order out OF
chaos. Let generous America give
generously if she will-Greece does
not ask for alns-but she s.voicing
her protest against the accusations
of wholesale atrocities, murder and
rapine publically and officially
frought against her by Bulgaria, in
an effort to excite sympathy, and
most of all, to distract attention
from the proved and acknowledged
atrocities committed by her troops,
which shocked and incensed the
whole cYilized world.
By declaring themselves the VIC
tins, not tie perpetrators, OF un-
speakable cruclties and wanton des-
truction, they have sought to put
the shoe on another's foot" Their
activities in the broadcast disemina-
ton of defamatory literature con
corning the Greeks have reached
every country on. earth. In Amer
i,a they have been given unwar-
ranted publicity and credit-un-
warranted in that the dreadful re-
suits of Bulgarian ferocity are a
matter of public record and are at
the disposal of any one who will
give the time to ascertain them.
Whosoever undertakes to defend
the barbarians of Bulgaria will find
himself face to face with such q
mass of hideous facts that he must
find his position either ridiculous
or untenable.
The friendish fury of the Bulgar-
ian is peculiar to his race-the Tar
car. He has no place among Europ-
can nations. He is of the same
stock as the Huns and vandals that
overran Europe.
For more than a thousand years,
since he invaded and held the terri
tory he now occupies, he has shown
himself, once the surface of csuper
imposed civilization is scratched, to
be the ferocious, hlood-mad descen
dant of the ancestors whose boast
and glory was war, torture, pi]lage
and rape, to whom the ieea of truth
was laughing stock and the oath
of honor but means of duping an
enemy.
The same conditions pertains in
