that alliance, it was possible at last to lib
crate Macedonia. No other state would
have helped US to save it from its then
masters, and we could not do it alone. And
if Macedonia had not been taken by the
Serbs it would not have been possible for
Us to liberate it,
What need Of further condemnation.
So much for earlier evidence of the
Bulgarian mentality. Let US bear in mind,
however, that in her performances since
1914 Bulgaria has surpassed even the rec
ores Of the Balkan wars. The blindness of
the Entente diplomacy during the critical
period between August, 1914, and Septem-
Der, 1916, will probably remain forever one
of the mysteries of the war. The one ex-
cusc so far visible is that the Entente au-
thorities were unwilling to believe any ma
tion could really be so false as Bulgaria
was daily showing herself to be. The only
consolation for the monstrous bungling
which cost not only the success of the Dar-
danelles expedition, but the very life of
Serbia must be that while Bulgaria was
toolng the Entente she was at the same
time keeping the Central Empires guessing
too. From the very beginning of the war
until September, 1915, when she took her
stand with the Teutonic Powers, she man.
aged the logically impossible feat Of run
ming wlth the hare and hunting with the
hounds.
She represented herself as being for sale.
She was not for sale. Her own Premier
(Radoslavoff) in March, 1916, stated openly
that "under the auspices of Germany a
treaty Of alliance had been concluded be-
tween Bulgaria and Turkey several months
before the beginning of the European war,
and another treaty had been made between
Bulgaria and Germany in the spring of
1914" How, then, was Bulgaria for sale
She was already sold; not to the highest
bidder--for obvious reasons she had not
invited bids-but to the side which she
thought would, from force of circumstances,
be able and willing to pay her the most.
In spite of all this, knowing full we'll
what her ultimate course was to be, she an
nounced that her sole aim was the acquisi-
ton of those districts of Macedonia which
she had failed to secure in the Balkan wars
and intimated that any group which would
give her these could have her help. (Note
tndt AT tnat tlme She ola not even lay
claim TO the whole Of Macedonia, let alone
to any of the other Serbian territory, which
she has since declared to be her own prop
erty) Through long months, while the
Teutonic plans matured, she dickered with
the Entente Powers, getting from them
promise after promise of Macedonian con-
cessons, and finally gave as her excuse fo~
breaking into the fight without even a dec
laration of war the fact that the Entente
was unwilling to permit her troops to oc-
cupy Macedonia Immediately, and reserved
the cession Of the territory until the end
of the war
New-York tribune., 1918-10-13
Her Dealings Have Always
III Been Two-F aced

There are perfectly intelligent and
ceedingly well-nformed persons who still
believe that that final concession would
have brought Bulgaria in on the Entente
side, and that it was the crowning blunder
of Entente diplomacy to refuse. But while
she was haggling with the one side, Bull
garia was already, despite her nominal neu-
trality, actively engaged in helping the
other. Her boats, bought from Austria
Hungary in December, 1914, carried not
only arms and munitions, but German Of
ficers, Officers and mechanics, down
the Danube to the Bulgarian border, where
way to the Turkish front, not forgetting to
leave few of their number on the way at
the service of Sofia
Furthermore, at the same time that Bull
garia was bargaining for the cesson of
Macedonia by Serbia she was herself actu-
ally making war on Serbia in Macedonian
territory. Bu1gar comitadjis, armed by the
Bulgarian authorities and working in au-
thorized collision with the Turks, were
making constant raids into Macedonia
which eliminated in the blowing up of the
vitality important railway bridge over the
Vardar, and the delay at a critical moment
Of supplies that were being rushed up to
the Serbian front.
These facts were all perfectly we'll known
to the Entente authorities, and in the cir
cumstances, while they still believed in the
possibility of winning over Bulgaria, it was
hardly conceivable that they should risk
New-York tribune., 1918-10-13
\ n Army Risen
n From the Dead

Now from across the Macedonian noun
talns comes an army, risen from the dead,
urged on over impossible obstacles by the
power OF a most righteous anger, sweep
ing forward at incredible speed, doing
things which common sense declares can
not be done by human armies under such
conditions. And in the eyes of these
supersoldiers flames the spirit of tor
tured Serbia, Serbia of the clean hands and
the loyal, unconquerable heart, coming at
last to avenge her children.
1t is no wonder that the Bulgar soldier,
remembering the little girls he helped to
steal for the Turkish harems 10000 of
them between the ages of ten and four
teen years sold into shame in CONSTANT
nople), the murdered babies, the outraged
women and massacred old men, has not
dared to stay and face the wrath of the
Serbs. 1t is not surprising that he has
deemed 1t wiser to be far away when the
Serbian soldiers look on the ruins of their
sacred places, and find in the market
squares the ashes of the bonfires where
their national treasures have been given
to the flames. 1t would need more cour-
age than the Bulgars possess to face the
Serbian soldier who comes to his own
home village and finds 1t silent and de-
serted, with the whole of its population
driven off into the deserts Of Asia Minor
TO starve. The look in the eyes of the
Serbs will indeed not be a pleasant thing
10 meet in these coming months. Small
wonder that the Bulgars run--even to
shame and surrenGer-to escape it, Know
fo how
may we'll have feared what Serbia would
10 TO them if once she got footing on
their soil. Serbia is too high-souled for
common revenge; but the mean spirit Of
'ne coward who did these things to the
prostrate could hardly be expected to face
MS victim in the hour of her resurrection.
