WASHINGTON, D. C, Fob. .12.
Tlio hintory of tho Uuljtnrinii 'nation'
lin bnon Hint of ono difficulty n f tiir
another utitil the ltulgnns lmvc be
come inured to trouble ami ut their
btat when confronted by such crises
nfo that which now poems to lie before
them. Their whole life nH a people
lms been a continuous succession of
struggles rirninst overwhelming odds,
Htmpglcs in which Ihoy hnvo suffered
bittercHt misery nnd hardship, nnd in
which they hnvo never failed to show
n Sublirno steadfastness nnd endur
nncc, nccordinir to n study of this
youngest of kingdoms prepared for
tho National Geographic society ly
James I), llonrehier.
Hatred of Turks
llulgnrin, probably more than any
other Balkan land, this writer says,
has felt tho weight of Turkish misrule
and oppression. It lies in the central
part of the Rnlkan peninsula, near to
the reach of the great Turkish mili
tary centers of former days, Adrian
oplc nnd Constantinople, and em
braces a' rich nftriculturnl country
from which tlfo Ottoman overlords
have drawn heavy returns. Due to
this value of its soils nnd to its handy
position, Bulgaria has been held more
firmly under the yoke of the Turk
than nny other Christian nation in
thU ill-fated territory.
Tho Bulgarians were the Inst to re
cover from the Turkish oblivion into
which they bad been sunk for hun
dreds of yenrs by their Asiatic con
querors, Mr. Bourclucr continues, nnd
in their efforts to find political free
dom and union for their rneo they
liavo found themselves not only con
fronted by tho power of Islnni, but
with the hostility of nil surrounding
nistcr nntions. During tho yenrs of
their writhings under tho Turkish
heel, the Greeks added religious op
pression nnd economic oppressions to
tho efforts of the Turks. Ilussin has
repeatedly loomed threatening on
their horizon, while Itumnnin nnd Ser
vin both earlier freo of the Islamic
domination havo added to the pcr
Mstenl little nation's troubles.
Centuries of Suffering
Out of their centuries of suffering
nnd dogged efforts tho Bulgarians
hnvo develoncd a fine determination,
a heroic love of rneo and country
which shows no limit of individual
sacrifice in its behalf. They hnvo
tenacity, they have shrewdness nnd
they hnvo n familiarity with desperate
Kitiiatious, which, if it has not bred
contempt, at least has bred a courage
for whatever trouble fate may have
in Ktorc.
It was not until 188ii that eastern
Jltnnanin revolted from Turkish rule
nnd united with northern Bulgaria,
nnd it was not until October. 1006.
that Prince Ferdinand proclaimed
Bulgaria an independent kingdom.
Thirty years massed nfter tho Bul
garian war for independence before
their freedom was officially recog
nized in Eurone. Virile, laborious,
thriftv. persevering, courageous and
anxious for progress the Bulgarians
are darin- to drcom Treat dreams for
their little countr" nnd todf" ns ever,
their immediate future seems to be
bc$et bv nil manner of difficulties.

with tho murder of "Henry Horn and
others," aged Inmntes of tho Gormnn
O'dd Fellows Home, Frederick Mora
nindo n statement in which ho said j
that "I considered well my actions
nnd then decided that It was tuy duty J
to put those old men and women out
of their pain, their suffering nnd tho
horrors of tho long sleepless nlphts."
Mors has been declared "mentally
unwell" by tho Uollevuo Hospital
alienists and now awaits tho action
of the grand Jury ns the first step In
n move to inquire Into his sanity.
Mors, 26 years old, told of his am
bitions to become a physician and
this being denied him, ho gradually
acquired some knowledgo of medi
cine and nursing by visiting hospitals
In Vienna. He came to this country
about ten months ago, he said and
last July obtained employment at
the homo near Yonkers.
When asked If any of tho eight
persons ho confessed to having killed
had requested him to end their mis
ery. Mors said:
"Two of them."
His reason for confessing to tho
district attorney of New York City
was that ho feared an Investigation
and he thought according to tho law
ho wduld Rain Immunity by so doing.
Investigation of Mors' story will be
resumed Monday In Yonkers.
