herself wholly at a loss to livs up to
their standards and utterly incapable
Of comprehending their traditions.
And as for the nations of Europe, they
could find in such an association only
contamination and insult.
Bulgaria cannot clean her black
record with words. She oannos turn
her blood smeared garments inside out
and hope that the stains will not be
seen. Her reformation must begin
from within. She will have to change
her fundamental nature.
Her very protest against her exclu-
sion is made up of her old folly. her
old treachery, her ancient duplicity.

mental Europe. But the world does
not seem to realize that the Bulgars,
far from coming to the assistance of
threatened Christianity, seized the op-
portunity to burn, sack and pillage un-

offering hideous picture to all hu-
manity, hardly suggestive OF the title,
"Defenders of Christiandom and

Indeed, the Bulgarians from their
first authentic records to the terrible
history of yesterday have offered a
continuous spectacle Of barbaric saw

They have conclusively proved that
few centuries OF residence in Europe
and the political makeshift of the
adoption of the Christian religion
cannot make a civilized European
people out of horde of Tartars.
