When Thieves Fall Gut"
The conflict between Bulgaria and Turkey is begin
ming to assume serious proportions It has led to
the registration Of NJ Radoslayof the Bulgarian pre-
mier who has been in power for nearly three years The
fact that the German foreign office and still more the
German general staff have allowed things to come to pass
proof of how deeply they preoccupied elsewhere
The trouble between the two accompes Of Germany is in
regard to the dividing up Of the Raumanan puder
Turkey urges that she has right to participate in all
the successes of her allies directly or indirectly The
victory over Roumana has given Bulgaria large part
of the Dobrudja while Germany and Austria Hungary
have obtained immensely valuable territorial and
concessions Turkey argues that She too has right
participate in the loot AS of course for geographical
she could be given share of the Roumanian
plumber, she declares that she must receive compen-
sation elsewhere The Constantinope government ac-
cordngy demands the of the strip of territory
on which the port Of Dedeagatch which, under pres
sure from Germany, it unwilling conceded to Bulgaria
in 1915 the price of that counts entry into the
But there is no Bulgarian sentiment powerful land
greed The proposal that she should give up any territory
she has acquired abs therefore aroused whirwnd in
dgnaton in King Ferdnands kingdom. The press points
out that Bulgaria guards Constantnople and thus
sures Turkey (which it declares purely Asatc and not
a European power) free hand in Asia Minor. AS a
suit of this Turkey has already occupied large part of
the Russian Caucasus This Bulgaria maintains ample
compensation for any territorial acquisitions Bulgaria
may have obtained in Roumania.
Bulgaria therefore appeals to Germany to defend her
against the unusted demands Of her Turkish ally. The
official government organ in Sofa the Kambana bases
its appeal to Germany Bugarias infdety to that en-
pre 1t reherses all the services it rendered to the Ger
man cause This journals adecaration is that of the
Bulgarian government. 1t declares:
"In spite of England's prestige the sea, we in
tervened the side of Germany, and this is where
the moral side of in intervention comes n We enter
ed the war; without waiting, and by advance in
Macedonia we made an diversion. This diversion
forced the French and English to withdraw their
troops from the Dardanelles and land them at Salon
Xxi. 1t in this way that we decided the fate of
the Dardanelles to the greatest advantage of our
allies.
Having made preparations, we intervened
with the motto: "Should Germany perish, Bulgaria
does not, deserve to live" We interviewed not only
to realize union, but to make the German cause
triumphant; because powerful Germany alone can
guarantee our peaceful Developments
Our ideal is and will remain to cooperate with
Germany and to love everything German, which
that shall remain faithful to the quad
ripple alliance. We do not change policy like
garment Providence has blessed our love for the
Germans and has made possible for us to unite with
them and play great role in the history of the world
The above frank statement of the Bulgarian official
organ will be somewhat enghtening to that section of
misguided people in the ranks of the entente allies who
still believe that the Bulgarian people are at heart with
the allies and the United Washington Post
