From the sad spectacle of a nation calling for material help to foreifn lands we bep; to turn to the inspiring vision of a nation silently bearinR her losses with a unanimous' cfTort that unites prince and peasant, colonial im migrant and worker at home. Wo invito you to consider not only the self-denial of the Greeks of America who Bivo their savings, often their nil, to aid their country, but also the patriotism of the young men, who, oven now nre leaving their lucrative employments and safe home of their adoption to return to Greece and en list in the nrmy that will toil, not on ly in it's military capacity, but as the workmen who must slave to con struct whore destruction has passed and to bring prosperity to the waste places left desolate by massccre and pillage. , . According to Bulgaria's description of her needs, one must infer that she alone fought all the wars, she alone extended open arms to all the refug ees. The fact is her refugees are comparatively few. During the sec ond war, Bulgaria closed her bound cries against all who sought admis sion. To no oncwould she give pro tection. This is a matter of public record and was was well known in America at that time. Thon consider the position of Grcec with regard to her refugees, Greeks Turks, Jews and Bulgarians,- destitute because of Bulgarian savagery, rush ed to her for aid. When peace was declared after the second Balkan war, 128,000 refuge of four nation alities and three religions had already poured into Greek territory. Many Of these had escaped from the relig ions alloted to Bulgaria, upon. hear ing of their annexation. They knew only too well what to expect from their now "protectors". Onco within her borders, Greece re ceived and sholtered the unfortunates who thus throw themselves upon her mercy. She gave them food, tents were provided, liternly "cities of ref uge" appeared in the land. Before the bitter winds of wintor camo wood en structures were erected and the government engineers were busy with plans for towns and cJticB whore those homeless families could be et tahllhlied in permanent settlements. So much for the refugeori of the last war with Hulgaiia. The 128,000 just mentioned do not Include the KO.OOO Greek and Turkish inhabitants of the iww territorie who have little or no thing left. Their townn and villiigim hunied.thelr good ami chattel sein ed by the llulKitriinu, their plight wum pitiful.

Tho Turks themselves were obliged to bow before such mngnanimity, unique in the history of warfare. Let us turn from the consideration of Greece in her role of "protector of the poor" and ask a simple question: Why does not Bulgaria demand that the enormous loot of the war be turn ed into the national coffers for use in tho present crisis, instead of allowing it to remain in the clutches of tho of ficers and men enriched by those ill gotten gains? 'it is useless to. reply that the spoil does not exist, what became of tho trensurcs taken from hundreds of churches and mosques, officially anil unofficially appropriat ed? What Ixjcamo of the contents of 4,000 houses of Serrcs, sacked clean prior to their burning? Where went money, jewels apd objects of- price stolon from tho other cities burned and sacked by tho Bulgarians? For weeks treasure laden trainsiwere run ning from tho seat of war to tho de pots and storehouses of Sofia. Where goes today the monoy extorted from tho inhabitants of the new provinces. Bulgarians admit the extortion, yet vould deny it's yield. Wc quot from thoj'olltica of Sofia an article pub lished only a few weeks ago: "From 5vory city, town or village through which our regiments have passed an enormous quantity of valuables and monoy has been seized or stolen and sent into Bulgaria." Tho Narod also published in Sofia, makes similar charges against officers of the Bul garian army, and inquires "if theso worthies havo been decorated for their heroic deeds." The Bulgarian commander of the garrison stationed at Serrcs, G. Jang ofF in an open letter published by tho Sofia 1'rcss and addressed to the min ister of war, accused his fellow offic ers of looting in Macedonia when they were allies of tho Greeks in the war with Turkey. JangofT specifical ly charged that by order of Colonel Ovstaroll', chief of the statr of the seventh division of the Bulgarian ar my, two whole carloads of valuables were stolen from tho inhabitants of Serrcs and sent to Bulgaria. The col lector of the district tried to seize tho shipment at the railroad sntion, but was forcibly restrained from any in terference. Colonel Ovtsaroff is further charged by JangofT with hav ing, assisted by the field doctor of the seventh division, extorted from tho Mayor of Doizaui, hiiimolf a Bulgar ian the sum of 2M0 Turkish pounds, or over $18,000. Major CorovUvir and Lieutenant Iflomiahoir, it wax Mated, liuil looted tho Kuril DJamo (tho old mosque) of Hurrun, taking from il I') antique nign of grant val uo.

When at last the Prince arrived n second contribution !was levied from tho inhabitants which .after the departure of tho royal guest met with the samo fate as the first. If the Bulgarian government would force it's soldiery to disgorge it's blood stained booty they would find ample means wherewith to meet tho crisis of want and destitution, now upon thdm. ' ' t . The present campaign to arouse sympathy has a dcopor significance than tho plea for alms. Bulgaria seeks to attract attention from her misdeeds to minimize tho shuddering horror her very name now means to an enlightened world, and if possible to blacken tho adversaries who fought her bravely and fairly, and who won not only the victory, but the esteem of tho nations. County Candidates. Speaking tljp newly nnnounced can didates for the various county offices the Coos Bay Times has the follow ing to say of tho aspirants: Tom Hall hns about decided to shy his castor into tho political ring and unless something causes him to suf fer a change of heart ho will soon "havo his hat in tho ring" for tho Democratic nomination for Stato Representative from Coos county. He has talked it over with friends and will probably make definite announce ment soon. Mr. Hall was at Co quille yesterday and it was due to the urging of Democratic friends there as well as on tho Bay that he has de cided to make the race. He will have Statement No. 1 ns his platform. So far, Editor M. A. 'Simpson of tho Randon Surf, has been tho only one to come out for Stato Representative from Coos. Ho seeks tho Republican nomination. The term of J. S. Bar ton of Coquille expires. E. J. Loney of tho Tort Orford bank is a candi date for Joint Representative. Wheth er S. P. Picrco will again seek tho honor is not certain. For County Surveyor W. S. McCulloch of Ban don seems to have a clear field. Mr. McCulloch served in that capacity a few years ago and is rated as a most excellent engineer. County Survey or Gould, It is reported, will probab ly not seek the place again. County Road Master V. M. Hall-Lowis is said to have criticised Gould's work rather ovorely and thin, with tho troubles that Mr. Gould got into with the County Court a few yearn ago, may keep hint out of it thin tlmo. K, K.

I Coquille, Oregon j Hogs Wild In Curry County, j Port Orford, March 11. E. L. White and James and Jesse Sutton had an exciting experience yesterday catching hogs, says the Tribune. Tho Swine were tamo ones that had gone wild and were all armed with tusks from two to six inches long. Six pr seven of them were jumped from their beds about a milo cast of town. The young men had ropes and four dogs along and succeeded in catching and tieing four of the hogs. Tho last ono they got after was an old campaigner, being the largest on in hunch nnd having tusks fully six inches long. Ho would run until he found a place to his liking, whero his rear was fortified and then would turn nnd fight the dogs ofT and go on again. One time he bayed in tho hollow of n big rotten stump, nnd Mr. White climbed onto tho side of tho slump and fpr somo time tried to throw the noose in a rope over his hend, when finally the hog spied his tormentor and went for him. "Gone" was only uhout three feet oil" tho ground and couldn't go any higher After muking several vicious slash es at him with Ills tusks tho hog ntarteil to climb up. Not fancying (he looks and action of tho animal Gene u voided a doner acquaintance by taking a flying leeji down tho hill.
