The unusual spectacle of Sea-

CALIFORNIA SHIP ENDS
REGULAR HOODO0 TRIP
GAMING WITH $500 TONS OF FOOD
FOR BELGIANS, FINALLY AR
RIYES AT ROTTERDAM

With the arrival in Rotterdam of
the California relief ship Canine, on
April the much-troubled voyage of
this steamer came to an end. In early
January accidents to this steamer az
tracted wide notice. OF all the feet of
ships the Commissions for Relief in
Belgium, this ship had the greatest Sc
res of mishaps, and when her cargo
was finally unladen in Rotterdam the
people of California who donated the
cargo were relieved of the suspense
for the safe arrival of this vessel
which had been growing since early
January.
The Canine left the port of San
Francisco December s with general
cargo of $500 tons. She passed safely
through the Panama canal into the At
lantic ocean, but it was here that her
ill-luck began. She put in at the port
of New York January g. reporting en-
CINE troubles as a result of The heavy
storm she met off Hateras. After some
temporary repairs she put to sea. The
next that was heard of her was on
January 16. She had encountered
some terrific weather, and was prac-
tically helpless. The British steamer
Kanawa, the Canadian government
steamer Lady Laurier and the United
States Androscoggin responded to her
call for aid, and shs was towed into
dry dock for repairs. Part of her
cargo was dumped into the sea by the
collapse of the dock to which it had
been transferred prior to placing the
ship in dry dock. Only a small por
ton of the cargo was thus lost. She
got away from Halifax on March 2,
and made the remainder of the voyage
without further mishap.

TURKS CAN Be
RELIED ON To
HOLD DARDANELLES
GEMAN OFFICER WRITES LETTER
HOME IN WHICH HE PRAISES
TURKISH SOLDIERS AND THEIR
GERMAN OFFICERS
(By Associated Press.)

BERLIN, April pa German Of
ficer of high rank, in letter written
from Constantinople on March IA lays
emphasis upon the great strength OF
the Dardanelles defenses He says;
Our enemies have suffered disap-
pointments. The first was the effect
which surprised even ourselves-of the
middle and light artillery against ar,
mored ships. The second was the good
shooting of the Turkish artillery. This
latter has, no doubt, been put down by
the English to German gunners, but
the Turkish soldier. with his wonderful
calm, is well adapted for artillery work
if only he is given some practice and
if there is proper control of fire.
THE heavy Turkish batteries have
thus far been very silent and their
time is still TO come. Numerous nl1-
den battery positions have not been in
action at all.
I'VE contemplate therefore, with
complete calm and confidence renewed
attempts to break through, although
we do not fail to appreciate the great
ness and the difficulty of our task. The
troops are in the best spirits, well
fed and adequately equipped. They wiz
certainly do their duty if the enemy
whose isolated attempts at landina
have hitherto been quickly repealed, de-
eide to land stronger forces"

new homes in Europe.

"The Bulgars, of Finnic stock, began
to make their appearance in south
eastern 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
conquered, and adopted a Slavon;c
tongue and culture At the beginnine
of the 10th century, under their first
Tsar, Simon, Bulgarian glory was at
its zenith; and it's territory stretched
from the Black Sea to the Adriatic,
from Thessaly to the Carpathians. This
strong young nation, with its luxur-
ious cities and fabulousiy rich capital.
was finally ruined by Greek cunning,
and its men and women were slain bv
the tens CT 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

have history of their own until 1873,
The GROWING event of these 500 wears.
the Bulgarian horrors, gave Russia
her main excuse for going to war with
Turkey in 1877. After the war, Great
Bulgaria was created by the Treaty OF
San Stefano, but English fear of Rus
STA led to tearing UP of this treaty at
the Congress of Berlin in 1878, an un-
doing of the establishment of Bulgaria
along Lethnic lines, and a perpetuatiol
IF discord and atrocieties within the
Balkans. Without outside help. the
8ulgarians have had to defend their
independence against all corners, and
they paid for the sturdy assertion of
their nationality in the Second Bal
kan War, 1913.
Despite their difficulties and their
many overpowering opponents, the
Bulgarians have builded well in these
latter years of comparative peace; so
well that in the First Balkan War,
they were able to bear the hrunt of
the struggle with the Turkish Empire,
and to win the decisive battles that
brought triumph to the Balkan Allies.
The advent of Bulgaria into the pres
ent war would bring an army of $780,.

veterans of two wars.
Following the adjustments made at
the conclusion of the Second Balkan
War, Bulgaria found herself occupying
43,300 square miles or a gain of Il
per cent. as the result of two years O,
hostilities. The population of the
country, with the establishment az
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 produces
iron, COAL copper, gold, silver, lead
and salt, The chief exports of the
country are grain, animal products. to-
bacco, fruits, cloth and altar of roses.
Bulgaria produces the worlds supply
of altar of roses, manufacturing about
900 pounds yer. T rphe o-edawu-l
5000 pounds year. This product sells
at about 5000 pound.
Bulgaria is a constitutional heredi
tary monarchy. 1t was proclaimed rs
such by Prince Ferdinand on October
5, 1908. Bulgarian representatives are
elected by universal suffrage, and poll

stituents with great seriousness. The
