Bulgaria would send her armies against Constantinople within 24 hours if Ser bia would cede Serbian Macedonia to lief. V. lindoslnvoff, prime minister of llnlgaria, and the man who more than i year ago held the destinies of Eu rope in his hand, made this frank state ment to me today. In an exclusive in terview granted the United Press, the Unitarian premier for the first time revealed to the world exactly what Ibil i!;iriu demands in the present negotia tions what is asked from the Austro (Icnnnns for remaining neutral and what is asked from the allies for driv ing the Turks from Europe, an opera tion which admittedly would prove the turning point in the war for the allies. lit' equal importance was his reply In a report circulated in European cap ilals that Bulgaria, having won Con Mantinople, would 'demand it as her prize. "That fear is groundless, " Premier KndoslavofP said with emphasis. "The international, commercial and politionl responsibilities attached to a city occu pying the geographical position of Cou .l:iii(inoplo are too great for n nation Hint must always remain small like Hulgnrin.

Because Bulgaria holds the l ev to the world war, diplomats of ev mv great power involved swarm here ind their pressure is centering on him. Bulgaria Fully Prepared. "Bulgaria Is fully prepared and nailing to enter the war the moment ne receives absolute guarantee thnt by so doing she will attain that fur which oilier nations already engaged are striv ing, namely, the realization of her na tional ideals," the premier said. "The bulk of these aspirations lie in Serbian Macedonia, which, with its 1. "iiii.OOO Bulgarian peoples, was pledg ed and assigned to us at the close of the first Balkan war.

VLC'U BE N. No mere paper ones can be accepted. "Unfortunately our aspirations are not attainable by direct force of our own arms. Wo cannot go and take these territories we feel are richtfullv ours. Instead, they must be ceded to us in the general conflict. We have, therefore, frankly and openly accepted offers from both groups of' powers in negotiations to that end. Only by deal ing with both sides do we feel we can secure the best guarantees af what we desire to be attained. On the part of the allies we are asked for direct participation in the war or onr entire army, whoso valor the world knows: on the part of Ger many, Austria and Turkey we aro only nsKed lor continuation or neutrality until the end of the war. Distrust of Germany. "Candidly, the latter request we are lontn to grant, we cannot tell what the future holds for us. To discount it entirely and tio our hands bv a sol emn pledge of continued neutrality would bo inrpolitie, indeed. Wo might agree to remain neutral for a shorter period, But whether we remain neutral or fight, our end and our motives gov erning our decision remain the same. " We hnvo no disposition to play for time. We seek only to gain guarantees that, insure the absolute realization of our national ideals and just what these nre it seeniB essential to mo that the world should know. Bulgaria's Aspirations. "There are now living outside the borders of Bulgaria nearly three mil lion Bulgarians. The bulk' inhabit dis tricts contiguous to us and constitute a majority population of these districts. We aspire to have them united in one fatherland. Of this total number of 3,000,000 Bulgarians we wish to unite, iiOO.OOO inhabit Russian Bessnnibia. Another 300,000 are in Hiimnnin. Oth ers ate in Thrace, but a greater number about 1.500,0110 inhabit Servian and jGrecciati Macedonia. It Is there, we irnnlily admit, that tlio bulk of our national aspirations lie. "Already wo have over 000,000 refu gees, largely from Serbian and Greecian Macedonia. Indeed, half the population of Sofia consists of refugees. They are our brothers of our own blood. Sim ply caring for them can never be the real 'solution of the great problem. Only a united Bulgaria can solve thnt. "While Bulgaria is quite ready to participate in the war she does not un derestimate the cost. Shu knows Tur key is strong fur stronger than Eu rope yet realizes.

"At the close of our Civil war we were on our toes looking for trouble, and we hud an enormous army fully equipped.

T ARE EVIL IS INDIAN Teachings They Carry Are . Responsible For Fear of Indians Among Children San Francisco, Aug. 10. "Wild- west shows and motion pictures depicting In dian massacres are evil: "Buffalo Bill and like characters who make a living by exploiting the Indian race are largely responsible for the fear with which all Indiana aro re garded by children." These statements were made here to day by Rev. Sherman Coolidge, presi dent of the Society of American In dians, who is here attending a congress on Indian progress. "Indian fights should be forgotten by the whites and not perpetuated in picturo lies," snid Coolidge. "Such pictures of the pioneer dnvs grossly misrepresent the Indian race. Indians are naturally n peace loving people in stead ' of the cruel savages usually shown in film pictures. The red man never killed for the toy of killing. The pioneers they regarded as invad ers and tho Indian fought to protect his homo and funiily." Kev.

It was prominently displayed, some papers subordinating the war reports snd milking the Hetiiniannllollweg statement the most important news of tho day. A majority of tho London papers commented upon the statement today in lengthy editorials, expressing indignation at tho "impudence" of the proposals.
