that the accused had endeavored 10

by the prosecutor, and my attention

The prisoner has claimed that on the

SOFIA SOURCE OF INTERNATIONAL SUSPENSE

Sofia has recently exchanged places
with Belgrade as the Balkan source
of international suspense. The Bulgar
capital has become the fulcrum OF the
Balkans. about which peace and war
are balanced with awful nicely. and
every prediction from southeastern
/ Europe during the last few weeks has
/ been based upon guesses as to what
/ the statement at Sofia was planning
/ According TO reports. the main ele-

I has its roots in the far past and their

sCribing the capital Of the Bulgarians
the National Geographic society says.
sofia is an adequate expression Of
the Bulgars. It is a solid business
like. modern, thrifty capital, with lit
tie OF the picturesque and artistic in
its composition and nothing of ro-
nance or sentiment. It is a matter
of-fact western city. paved with
smooth-squared blocks Of asphalt. and
its streets are lined with stone. and
brick and stucco buildings. OF solid,
simple architecture. As in most Amer
lean cities. these buildings are con
strUCted for the display Of wares TO
the best advantage. for obtaining the
greatest possible office floor space or
the largest number of living apart
ments. rather than for beauty or orig
inal effect. For the complexities Of
luxury. the Bulgarians have no time.
nor have they learned TO feel a need
OF them.
Their capital is a comparatively
new city. Travellers who visited there
before 1850 described it as a miserably
poor place. "A concourse of red-tiled
huts and of novels of wood and plas-
ter. OF narrow. crooked streets. and
OF general flth and depression This
