Greeks Uphold Their Record In Late
Wars
(Reprinted from Atlantis, a Greek
Newspaper.
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. 'Dune uUo wuru vic

At m tkim, mi Uml km, thump
ceived protection, but for months
were provided with daily rations. 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

uablc3 to their own residence nnd
subsequently shipped them to their
familios in Sofia. 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

j Hogs Wild In Curry County,

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"
