The daily Gate City., 1914-02-06

newspaper published in New York
| upon the campaign of deception where
by they hoped to influence the out
side world and shift the blame OF their
misdeeds. they found only two news
paper men willing to aid and abet
them. They were Mr.. Boucher, OF the
London Times. and Mr. Wallis, of the
Westminster Gazette
In the e1nbattled countries or at
tached to the various armies were
more than seventy war correspond
ents. Mr.. Boucher and Mr. Wallis
stood alone in their partisanship for
Bulgaria for reasons that will form
the basis OF another article. Suffice
for us to say, for the purpose of this
statement, that both of these gentle
men admit that they made Sofia their
headquarters during all the Greco-Bul-
garian war, and consequently we're
never eye witnesses for or against
either army. In fact the Bulgarians
took good care that no foreign cor
respondents should accompany their
troops; they had determined in adj
vance upon the determination of the
Greeks In Macedonia, and were there
fore unwilling to allow followers who
might become critics. On the other
hand, all the war correspond who
went to the front with the Greek army
are unanimous in giving testimony to
fhQ afrneffiou norno4rafad b,, tha pu1-
garians. not only during the second
campaign, but also in the Greco-T Turk
ish war
The foreign correspondents attached
to the tServian army unite in denounc-
ing the Bulgarians as murderers, mu-
tilators. ravishers and looters- The
correspondents with the Turkish army
give similar testimony
The consummate impudence of
Bulgaria leaves one amazed. They
dare to face sixty-eignt eye witnesses
with the hearsay word of two, and
that hearsay of their own manufacture.
In our last article we cited the pro-
itest of the foreign missionaries in Sa-
llonica against the Bulgarian atrocities,
the testimony OF the American Tobac-
co Company at CavalIa, also the evi-
dence OF the French Catholic mis-
sionary at Kakis and the leading Turk
ish citizens of Doicanr, countersigned
by the local Bulgarian priests
| We cannot too often repeat that
Greece asks only for justice We here
present the incontestible truth of her
case against Bulgaria. Greece has
suffered terrible losses both in proper
ty and in men. But for her destitute
she is caring with the help of her 10y
lal sons. She now calls upon the ma.
i ton that has heard her traduced for
simple justice, for an unbiased hearing
The documents that we offer today
will show how those in a position to
accurately know the facts have pictur.
