the Following editorial on the status OF
the negotiations between Bulgaria ana
Great Britain, France and Russia:
"Bulgaria. cannot, embark in another
war without the guarantee that the

What Bulgaria Gave Up.
BY the treaty of Bucharest, at the
close of the second Balkan war, that
norton of Macedonia which had been
obtained by Bulgaria at the close OF
the first Balkan war was taken from
it. and divided between Greece and Ser
bia.
Bulgaria also lost to Roumania,
strip of land from the Black sea to
the Danube and was compelled to cede
back to Turkey not only Adrianople,
but the battlefields of Kirk Kllisse.
Iule Burgas, and Tchorlu, where her
soldiers had won victories over the
Turks,
The loss of Macedonia was heavy
blow, that part which was taken from
her being inhabitated principally by
Bulgarians. The second Balkan war
came on as q result of q dispute as to
the division Of territory won from Tur-
key in the first war. Bulgaria was
arrayed in the second, war against
Greece, Serbia, and Montenegro. and
was forced In the end to make the ter
ritorial concessions to them. Roumania
threatened Bulgaria with armed force
and exacted territory as the price of
it's neutrality
