Bulgaria
tFrOm the New York Tribune.l }

III Bulgaria now casts her lot with
Germany she may expect to get all
OF Serbian Macedonia II Roumania
remains neutral Germany will give
her Russian Bessarabia and compel
her to restore her stealings from
Bulgaria. Greece will be permitted
to take Southern Albania, now claim
ed by Italy. and the islands the Ital-
ians have occupied in Aegean. She,
too, will then be compelled to cede
lands desired by Bulgaria.
But IL Greece and Roumania keep
their faith with Serbia and enter the
war against Bulgaria and the Central
Powers. then the defeat Of the Allies
will be followed by the rearrange-
ment Of the Balkans TO the greater
advantage Of Bulgaria, who will be
the FIRST friend" OF the TeutoDie
powers in the Balkans.
On the other hand. IL Bulgaria stays
neutral and the Allies win. Serbia
will acquire Bosnia, Herzegovina and
part OF Dalmatia: Roumania viii
get Transylvania and Bukovina
Greece will get lands in Epirus and
perhaps in Asia Minor. Even II a
portion of Macedonia and of Thrace
/ be assigned to Bulgaria she will re-
main permanently the smallest Of the
Balkan States. She will see heI

Why fhe Greaf Foreign Loan Will Be Made
lFrom the New York Sun.

Such opposition as has developed
TO the arrangement Of the large COM
mercial loan which our bankers have
had under negotiation with the An
glo-French finance commission ad-
vances a variety of arguments, but it
has one common characteristic. II ig-
nores or slurs the purely business as
poets of the loan which are bound to
control IL reason still holds its seat in
this country.
In this matter as in others the
propaganda of obstruction inaugural
ed by the hyphens ranks American
commercial benefit as vastly inferior
TO considerations connected with tho
conjectural interests of one or the
other OF the belligerants in the Eu-
ropean war Il is Germanys misfor-
tune, not our fault, that the seas are
so controlled against her that We
cannot trade with her.
Assorted political bedlamintes have
invoked the emotions Of pacitism in
behalf of an Interpretation of neutral
ity which masks purpose to commit
the country 10 such a policy of wal
finance and war commerce as would
deliberately cripple the Allies. We
are told by these devotees of pacific
sentiment. some of whom have burst
upon attention with a very sudden
zeal that the contemplated loan car
/ operate only to prolong the war. the
very unneutral but unstated conclu
sion being that otherwise Europe
might be forced to early acceptanc,

II is a simple matter to condemn
Bulgaria and Bulgarians for the
course they seem TO have entered,
which brings a new and real peril to
the Allies. But simple justice to a peo
pie who have had for this country a
real admiration and have shown
gratitude on many occasions for the
service that Robert College has rem
dered to them compels a fair state
ment of their case.
They owe their liberty originally TO
Russia, but once freed of the Turk, It
was Russia which sought 10 hold them
in political servitude, only less hu-
initiating than the Osmanli rule II
was Russia that producerd the down
fall of Alexander. a brave and patri-
otto prince. II was at the behest Of
Russia that Stambuloff was murdered,
and he was the greatest and most pa
triotic OF Balkan statesmen until tho
coming OF the Greek Venizelos.
To Great Britain is chargeable the
fact that Macedonia was returned to
tho Turk at Berlin and the Treaty of
San Steiano, which would have lib
Grated and united the Bulgar race set
aside. France has, at all times. been
the champion OF the Greeks. and Bull
gar and Greek interests are utterly
opposed
At tho close Of the first Balkan war.
Serbia declined 20 carry out her
agreement with Bulgaria and turn
over to the Bulgars that portion OF
Macedonia which had been assigned
TO Bulgaria by the Serbo-Bulgar
ante-bellum agreement Instead Ser
bia made an alliance with Greece and
Roumania. In this situation Bulgaria
having endeavored to obtain Mace
donia by direct negotiations. finally
yielded TO Austrian suggestions and
attacked her allies.
Meantime. the Car had sought to
prevent this break. and finally tele-
graphed the Bulgarian Ferdinand, de
manding that he submit to a peaceful
settlement. Ferdinand declined. Bull
gar troops attacked Greece and Ser
bia and were defeated. Meanwhile tho
Russian Car permitted Roumania &c
attack Bulgaria in the rear. AS a re
suit. Bulgaria was overwhelmed. Al

vision of Bulgarias conquests be
tween Greece and Serbia and to the
seizure by Roumania of Bulgarian
lands between the Danube and the
Black Sea.
To these losses Bulgaria has never
been reconciled. she now means tC
get back all she lost But Serbia an6
Greece have declined to grant all she
asked and Roumania has made nc
actual concession. Turkey, on the
other hand, has ceded part of wha

tilities Of antagOnism TO the loan in
its relation 10 some ultcrior political
motive. The only sympathies 10 which
they do not appeal are those which We
may have for ourselves in trying TO
overcome the obstacles which the
war has placed in the path of Amer
lean trade and industry.
Against the contentious OF the loan
obstrucionists it may be submitted
that. unless the negotiators fail to
agree on terms, the loan will be made
because il is to American business In
terest. It will not be loan to keep
the war going. but TO keep our trade
going. European finance has seem
clearly that it is as necessary for us
to extend the credit under discussion
as it is for the Allies to obtain il.
As Mr.. James J. Hill says: when
a merchant who has been buying for
years for cash finds II necessary to
ask for line Of credit it is granted
gladly This is done not as per-
sonal favor but as a matter Of sor nd
business policy"
The opponents OF the loan urge that
favorltism be shown to Germany by
a refusal to extend the credit which
Great Britain and France have
sought, but no favor will be shown in
making the loan. Two OF our best
foreign customers have come to US
asking the privilege of buying some
of our goods on time. They appeal
only to our business sense. They are
mot even seeking as much Of a favor
as Is Germany. for whose new war
loan subscriptions are being openly
solicited and received here. although
we can do little or no trade with her
so long as the Allies command the
seas in the war.
