could have imagined or executed. The
Consuls Of Austria and italy at sa-

OF the once flourishing city and the
questioning Of the few survivors con-
firmed in every detail the righteous
ness Of the bitter protest Of the Greek

Acted Like Barbarians.
EVEN the few Bulgarian inhabitants
of the devasted area gave testimony to
the insane fury Of their conationalists,
denouncing them as assassins and ban
dts who spared neither combat
ants nor their. own countrymen.
THE wholesale and inhuman slaught-
er Of the Mohammendan population
by the fBulgarians during the Greco
Turkish war was officially confirmed
by the British Foreign Minister. Sir
Edward Grey's ACCUSATIONS were based
on the British; consular reports from
Macedonia and Thrace. The Minister
declined. however, to make public the
details Of the matter, contending that
consular reports were confidential,
and moreover that he had refused to
publish reports from the same !consuls
concerning the. massacres committed
by the Turks. Nowhere is there even
a question of "Greek atrocities

Forgive us, oh, ghosts OF the Huns,
in. an endeavor to- describe the Bull
garian atrocities. We have wronged
you by comparing their deeds to the
traditions Of horror you have left to
posterity," wrote Signor Luciano Mag
rini war correspondent Of the Messag-
zero of Rome and the Secolo 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 Bull
garians and the corpSes of Greek and
Turkish peasants slain or burned alive

Navy accompanied one of the French
officials, on, his heartrending mission
Of investigation and reported. to- his
government scenes of unparalleled
horror. The Bulgarian Bishop of ORA
ma issued a forceful protest against
country, while the newspapers OF So
fla are full of admissions and even
boasts that are hair-raising.
"Whosover undertakes to defend the
barbarians of Bulgaria will find him
self face to face with such a mass Of
hideous facts that he must find his
position either ridiculous or unten-

''The fendish fury of the Bulgar is
peculiar to his race-the Tartar. He
has no place among European ma

little brother to the Tartar does NOT
affiliate easily with the rule of mercy
and self-control.
