BULGARIAN
BLOOD RULE
OVER SERBS
Reports Made Public Tell of
Crimes and Atrocities.
Acts of BulgarS on
SerbianS.
Associated Press Service:

Associated Press Service:
WASHINGTON, March PIX
tracts from reports Of the interna-
tional commission of inquiry which
has been investigating crimes and
atrocities alleged to have been com
mitted by the Bulsars upon the
serbian population during the war
were made public here today by the
official Information bureau of the
kingdom of Serbs. Croats and Slo-
venes.
The report charged that a reign
Of terror. designed to eXterminate
the serbian people in the Macedo-
MAN and Moravia districts, was car
ried on by the Bulgarians and that
thousands Of civilians were tortured
and massacred.
Official documents, the reports
asserted, prove conclusively that the
Bulgarian authorities gave orders
which were directly responsible for
the commission of the crimes. A
bulgarian bishop. defining the pol
icy of the government, was quoted
as saying:
There must be but one master
in the Balkans-the Bulgarian peo-
Pile"
Many Atrocities.
Atrocity after atrocity is related
in the reports. 1t was alleged that
when the BuIgarians passed through
villages all the influential residents
.F 81 60 fpc
were put to death, as were old men
and women and even nursing babes.
Rich men were tortured to make
them give up their. money and val
uables and then were killed, it was
charged
The Bulsarians were particularly
cruel TO women. it was stated, and
instances were cited where the Bull
garians outraged and killed them in
large numbers. In one town the
inhabitants were driven out by .
rain of machine gun bullets. il was
charged, only to be met during their
flight by another group Of Bulgars,
who attacked them with bayonets-
Many instances were said TO have
been reported by eye witnesses
where the Bulgarians, in moving
masses of SerbianS between intern
ment camps or from one town 10
another, butchered the helpless vic
tins. In exhuming bodies of the
slain in the gorses of VrUtsia, which
were described as being "a vast
Serbian graveyard" cOrpses were
found piled on top Of each other.
Many of the slaughtered Serbs were
not even buried, the reports as
serted.
The Bulgarian authorities are
charged with being especially fond
of beating women, particularly the
wives of Serbian officers and school
masters, and with having prosecuted
the Serbian clergy with pitiless
cruelty. Many were buried alive. it
is said, and in all the territory oc-
cupied by the BulgarNns not one
priest was left in his parish Those
who were net butchered were in
termed in camps. where thousands
were said TO have died through eX-
| cessive cruelty.
