"Neighborirg peoples are storm

We ask for a small army but it
is only to protect the country from
the disorders which outsiders are

a mystery to us how people can say,
as they do abroad. that we are at
odds with our neighbors, are about
to attack Greece or are organizing
bands to provoke strife beyond our
borders
King Boris, who speaks English
fuently. has made a deep study of
America and American conditions.
He heard with pleasure that the CITY
OF New York intended to send him
work dealing with the birds and
flowers OF New York state. His Ma

The humane conduct of America in
the Thracian question aroused the
hveliest gratitude in the hearts OF
our people.
