But under Austro-Gormnn sug gestion, contrary to the advice of tho Russian emperor and without tho kt'owledgo of the Bulgarian govern ment, tho Coburg prince on Juno 'JO, 1013, moved Bulgarian armies against the Serbians. This treacherous net of King Ferdinand raided a gulf be tween two fraternal allied peoples.
