WHAT BULGARIA IS
FIGHTING FOR

1t must be confessed that it
is not quite clear what some OF
the beligerents are fighting for.
This observation does not hold
good. however, in the case OF
Bulgaria. The only one of the
Balkan states to take up arms
on the side OF the central pow
ers entered the war with one
fixed idea in view and from it
she has never deviated for an
instant. The Bulgars are fight,
ing to regain Bulgarian Mace
donia. Other things may come
their way IN the event the leu
tonic alliance is triumphant. II
they do, so much the better.
But King Ferdinand and Pre-
mier Radoslavof threw Bull
garia's fortunes into the scale
along with those OF Germany,
Austria Hungary and Turkey
for the purpose OF getting back
that territory and population
taken from Bulgaria at til e
conclusion of the second Bal
kan war by the treaty Of Buch-
Arrest. which has been aptly
described as zone Of those
treaties Of peace which in re-
ality are treaties of war.
When h Balkan states
banded together several years
ago and made war on Turkey,
it was the Bulgars who bore
the brunt OF the fighting and
who were responsible. more
than any other Balkan people,
for the Turks defeat. Snbse-
quently, Serbia fell out with
Bulgaria over the boundary
line, Greecs espoused S9rbia's
cause and the two of them
made war on Bulgaria. Ru-
mania, which had takeu part
in the war against Turkey,
thought she saw an opportun-
ity to get something for moth
ing, which is ever Rumania S
national policy, and SO the Ru
manians swept down from the
north and joined in the attack
on the already outnumbered
Bulgarians Turkey perceived
her chance to retrieve par
tally her disastrous defeat and
joined in the war, with the re-
snlt that plucky but unlucky
Bulgaria was forced to sue for
peace, which she got only on
the most Illuminating and NOR
flying terms. The Turks came
back into Europe S far as
Adrianople, Rumania was re-
warded for her assistance with
a liberal slice Of territory and
Macedonia was divided up be-
tweed Greece and Serbia.
From the day the treaty of
Bucharest was signed, the Bull
garlans have been waiting for
the day when they might re-
take their own. Naturally. it
vas with reluctance that they
