TO FIGHT
T
l'AKIS, Nov. '27. Newspapers of
Hulgaria, says tho corresMindent nt
Saloniki. of the l'etit FariKicn, are
declaring that tho llulgarian tinny,
having coikiucpM Serbian-Macedonia,
Ihilgnria should ho satisfied with its
tritnnpli and seeing that Thrace is
being retained by tho Turks, should
not add to the fears of the Scibians.
In fact, the eonespondent quotes
tho Uulgnrian ncwspaiwrs as saying
thero nrojiow seven Turkish divisions
nt Sufli, northeast of Dedenghateh,
one division at Mitstupha Pacha, one
division nt Varna and 0110 each at
Ilurgas and Constantinople.
The llulgarian newspapers, tho cor-
rosM)ii(lent says, are strongly insist
ing that the question of Thraeo has
not been definitely settled and that
with Germany's support Turkey in
J'.urope should bo replaced within the
limits which she wns eonfined'in 11M1.
The correspondent centinues: '
"If tho misunderstanding on this
subject continues, and in view of the
recent speech made by Premier Ilud-
oslavoff of Ilulgtiria, in which sho
declared that Thrace had been Uul
gnrian, thu prophet) v of e.x-Preniicr
Venizidos of Greece may yet he real
i7cd that the llulgarians in the end
.nay bo found fighting; on the Mdo
of thoso they formerly attacked."
