Bulgaria Fears
Trouble with Greece
Over Macedonia

SOFIA, Bulgaria, Feb. s--(Via London)
THE attitude here with reference to the
war is one Of the strictest neutrality. and
the Macedonian question is the only fac
tor giving apprehension, said the Bull
garian premier. vaseil Radoslavoff. to
the Associated Press today.
Our relations with Roumania are i'm
proving constantly; trouble from that
quarter Is not expected But the Mace
DOMAIN question Is assuming greater pro-
portions each day with the arrival in
Bulgaria of hundreds Of fugitives from
those parts of Macedonia ruled by servia
and Greece, the governments Of which
have suppressed the Macedonian institu-
tions. closed the schools and churches and
driven off the private teachers.
In Bulgaria at the present time there
are thousands Of Macedonian refugees,
destitute and clamorfng for aid from
Bulgaria. 1t is Impossible 10 say what
Bulgaria's action win be. We are wait
Ing and must wait"
The premier said that the Macedonian
Turks were adding to the problem by
looking to Bulgaria for deliverance from
Servian and Greek "misrule." He had
no comment to make on the general
European situation.
