private Rumanian claims against
the Rumanian government.
The territory, for which Bulgaria
had never renounced her claim, re-
stores the frontier to that of 1912,
when Southern Dobruja was taken
from Bulgaria after the Balkan
wars.
Bulgaria gets a strip of land more
than 40 miles wide, including the
provinces of Durostor and Cahacra

The latter is a Black Sea resort
where Rumanian Queen Marie's
heart is entombed.

manian population for several days
has been streaming out to find new
homes elsewhere.

Bulgaria, said the regained territory
was TAG per cent of the present
kingdom, making a total Bulgarian
territory of 110,872 square kilometers
approximately 41,796 square miles
and adding IL per cent in tillable
land.
According to the 1880 Rumanian
census the population of the area
