great struggle between Bulgars and
Turks the Bulgars making its sur
render to them the sine qua non OF
peace and the Turks lighting to the
last ditch for city which was dear
to their national and religious senti-

The secret of that relationship has
lain during modern times In the fact
that the large railway station of Adj
lIanople Is located In karagatch,
which Hes on the opposite side OF the
Martha and is connected with the
city by causeway two miles long.
The approaches to the station of

Incidentally this same bit of rail-
road from the Adriatic through Kara
catch to the Bulgarian border, was
the price which Bulgaria eSacted for
her entrance in the World War on the
side of the Central Powers. When
she received the whole line of the
railway traversing Turkish territory
together with Karagatch, Demotika.
and Kuleli Burgas. she was irrev-
ocably pledged to the Central Powers.
Prior to the beginning of the
World War, Bulgaria owned a long
stretch of sea front on the Aegean
along the Gulf of Enos and the Bay
of Lagos, but this now belongs to
Greece. 1t has been the country's
consistent aim for decades TO get and
hold this door to the south which !
would eliminate the necessity of max |
