"No country has had TO struggle
with greater difficulties in the work

begins statement given out by the
National Geographic society. From
the days OF the Byzantlau emperor,
who felt IL his duty to extermiuate
the BuIgar nation through five centur-
les OF Ottoman rule, down TO the pres
eut day, the BUIgar mas enjoyed hardly
q placid moment and hardly ever has

The Bulgars. OF FIuuic stock. be
gan to make their appearance in
southeastern Europe around $50 A. D.,
and. by the end of the seventh century,
they had crossed the Danube and tax
en- up their Balkan home. They merg-
ed with the Slavonic populations whom
they conquered, and adopted a Slavon-
ic tongue and culture. AT the begin
ming of the 10th century, under their
first Tsar. Simeon. Bulgarian glory
was az its zenith; and its territory
stretched from the Black sea TO the
pathians. This strong, young nation.
with its luxurious cities and fabulous
Is rich capital was finally ruined by
Greek cunning. and its men and wom-
en- were slain by the tens OF thou
sands. The hatred OF the Bulgar and
the Greek began in the middle ages,
when the Bulgar and the Byzantian
clashed.
In the 14th century the Turks be
gan their couquests, and, after 1898.
the Bulgarian people fell completely
under Ottoman sUbjeCtion, ceasing TO
have q history OF their own until 1875
The Crowning event of these 500 years,
the Bulgarian horrors gave Russia
her main excuse for going TO war

Great Bulgaria was created by the
treaty Of San Stefano. but English
fear of Russia led 10 2 tearing up of
this treaty at the congress of Berlin
