very successful and ended with defeat

War, Bulgaria found herself occupying
4S,30O square miles, or a gain Of 16
per cent as the result of two years of
hostillties. The population of the
country, with the establishment Of
peace, was 100000. The public debt
was high, but fair harvests left the
people in solid financial condition.
Bulgaria is, like the other Balkan
countries, mainly an agricultural land
The valleys of the Danube and the
Martha are the most fertile parts Of
the peninsula. There are vast forests
over the numerous mountain ranges
of oak, ash, beech and pine. In these
same mountains are rich mineral
lands, belonging to the state, which
produce iron. coal, copper, gold, silver,
lead and salt. The chief exports Of
the country are grain, animal prod
ucts. tobacco. fruits, cloth and altar
Of roses. Bulgaria produces the
worlds supply of altar of roses, man
ufacturing about 5000 pounds a year.
This product sells at about 5000 a
pound.
Bulgaria Is constitutional heredi-
tary monarchy. It was proclaimed as
such by Prince Ferdinand on October
s. 1908. Bulgarian representatives arc
elected by universal suffrage, and poll
tics are taken by them and their con.
stituents with great seriousness. The
event Immediately leading up to the
proclamation of the kingdom As of in
terest, as showing the proud character
of the Bulgar. In September of 1908,
the Turkish government held recep.
ton for diplomats in Constantinople
at which it was neglected to invite
the Bulgarian minister, on the grounds
that he was merely the business agent
of tributary principality. Out of the
popular fury which swept Bulgaria at
this slight, Prince Ferdinand was able
to find more than the needed support
for discarding the remaining semb
lance Of Turkish sway and for the
declaration Of the kingdom. He tool
the title, SO proudly significant in
early Bulgarian history, Of 'Tsar o.
the Bulgars'."

BULGARIA NEVER
HAS KNOWN PEACE
COUNTRY is ONE WHICH HAS
FAILED TO POSSESS AN UN.
SELFISH FRIEND.

Washington, ID. c., April 27.-"No
country has had to struggle with
greater difficulties in the working out
its destiny than Bulgaria." begins
statement given out today by the Ma
tional Geographic Society. From
the days of the Byzantian emperor
who felt it his duty to exterminate the
Bulgars, through Ave centuries of Of
toman rule, down to the present day,
the Bulgar nation has enjoyed hardly
a placid moment and hardly ever has
found an unselfish friend. 1t has been
tested by suffering ever since leaving
its home within the volga basin for
new homes in Europe.
THE Bulgars, of Finnic stock, be-
gan to make their appearance in south.
east Europe around $50 A. D., and, by
| the end of the 7th century, they had
crossed the Danube and taken up their
Balkan home. They merged with the
Slavonic populations whom they con-
quered, and adopted a Slavonic tongue
and culture. At the beginning of the
10th century, under their first Tsar,
Simeon, Bulgarian glory was at it's
zenith, and its territory stretched
from the Black Sea to the Adriatic,
from Thessaly to the Carpathians.
| This strong, young nation, with it's
luxurious cities and fabulously rich
capital was finally ruined by Greek
cunning, and its men and women slain
my the tens of thousands. 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 conquests. and, after 1898
the Bulgarian people fell completely
