I the insane fury of their constituencies, tdenouncing them as assassins and Dan- dits who spared neither non-combat- ants nor their own countrymen.
 The wholesale end inhunan slaugh- 1 ter Of the GMohammedan population by l the Bulgarians during the Greco Turkish war was officially confirmed by the British Foreign Minister. Sir Edward Grey $ accusaEions were based
 on the British consular reports from lMacedoIaia and Thrace. The Minister declined, however to make public the details of the matter. contending that consular reports were confidential, and i moreover that he had refused to pulp cerningS the massacres committed by the Turks. Nowhere is there even a question of Greek atrocities Forgive us, oh, ghosts of the Huns, 1 ifs in an endeavor to describe the Bull garian atrocities, we have wronged you by comparing their deeds to the tradi- 1 tions of horror you have left to pos 1 terity, wrote Signor Luciano Magrini war correspondent of the Messaggero of Rome and the Secofo of Milan, after his visit to Macedonia and Thrace
 during the second Balkan war, when he beheld the remains of the towns and villages burned by the Bulgariafls
 and the corpses of Greek and Turkish peasants slain or burned alive by the ] soldiers of Ferdinand. Captain Car y, fcompanied one of thezFrench officials on his heartrendfng mission of inves- ltigation and reported to his goverh- -ment scenes ofk gnparalle1ed h orror. lTIae Bulgarian Bishop of Drama sis- sued 1forcefu1 protest against the
 deeds of the soldiers of his own coun- ltry, while the newspapers of Sofia are full of admissions and even boasts 1 that are hair-raisif1g.
 ;Whosoever undertakes to defend I | &1-- I himself face to face with such a mass of hideous facts that he must I find his position either ridiculous or untenable.
 The hendishs fury Of the BuIgar is
 peculiar to his ralce--t11e Tartar. He has no place among European ma l tfons. He Is of the same stock as the Huns and vandals that overran Eu- rope.
 For more than thousand years since he invaded and held the ter rftory he now occupies, he has shown himself, once the surface of superim- posed civilization is scratched, to be the ferocious,- blood-nad descendant
 of the ancestors whose boast and glory was war. torture, piIIage and
 rape, to whom the ideal Of truth was laughing stock and the oath of hon or but means Of duping ntenenny.
 The me conditions pertain in Gen. tral Asia to-day Go find the Peking Gazette and read the records of the I Tai Ping rebellion in China-so awful that even the Kurdish officials and the kahns Of India protested. The l little brothers to the Tartar does not affiliate easily with the rule of mer- I cy and self-control.
 t4s No Europeann could have coEnn1it- ted or permittedS such deeds as BuI- garia has set to her diseredit, At her door alone lies the incredib Ies4but only too well verified slaughter of d hundred and fifty thousand non-con- blatant Mohommedars-w and children-drowned burned. shot or I bayonetet in his gory advance against the Turks at Louie -Bourgas1 l He turned his murderol1s frenzy I against the non-cohabatants Of Gre eece when the armies of that nation were 1 this is no secret. By letters, photo. graphs. official examinatiens, national ]; investigations, it is all verified. Like 1 the Tartar that he is,: the Bulgarian stays, when .victorio from sheer l lust of slaughter and national enthu- 1 siasn, and when defeated he ra ped, tortured and slew in sheer hysteria of revenge.
 l The Greeks are the outposts of Flu ropean civilization of which Greece herself was the mother. Never in all ! her annals has she shown one evil dence of Tartar brutality. On the contrary, a national spirit of force and idealisnl, a respect for the laws that were even the expression of the l aspirations of the whole people have from time irnmemoriai been hers. Her arlnies fought against an army bar barrie in it's methods-she fought@be- side an army even more inhur1an- yet she conducted her campaign ac-
