 Between Macedonian Chieftains

Sofia, Bulgaria. June 14 LP-More than a hundred persons were killed, leaving more than 250 orphans, in intertribal warfare between the two chief groups of Macedonian revolu- tionaries during. the past year.
 The blood-feud started with the murder on July :, 1928, of General Protogueroff. Since then his follow CTS have been the victims of contin- ual attacks on public highways or in their homes.
 Ivan MiChaIloff's followers are generally supposed to have been the eXecutioners, but members of other groups Of Macedonian revolutionar- les are suspected of having taken a hand in the crimes.
 The Bulgarian public is indignant over the assassinations which they say attract much unfavorable atten- ton 10 the country. The authorities have been unable to effect any im- provement in the situation.
 The most recent murder was Of the widely known journalist. Vassil PoundeT. The mNrder created in- tense excitement in Sofia. and the assassins were captured. The pris- oners said they were ordered bv the Macedonian committee to commit the crime. They asserted that they did not even know the victim per- sonally
