Bulearia's Prospects
Bulgaria has issued another pamph-
let. printed at the royal printing es-
Establishment at Sofia, entitled, How
the Serbs Behave in Macedonia" Civ
ing detailed accounts Of alleged at
trocities in Serbia's part of Mace
donia against priests of the Bulgarian
state church. These accounts are har-
rowing in the extreme. alleging that in
some cases Bulgarians were cruel

signed article in Paris newspapers.
that the Young Turk element has

stantinople to that country. rather
than let it pass into the hands Of the
lilies through their assault on the
Dardanelles

summed up as the staunch and loyal
friends Of the ouadruple allies. and
