...much pecuniary indemnity, the new State has had a large number of unpleasant boundary questions." Professor Coolidge said, "From Austria and Hungary, enemy States not represented at Paris, the Jugo-Slavs have got almost all they seriously asked. The same thing is true regarding Bulgaria. The last bit of Bulgarian Macedonia has gone to Serbia. Without gong into the Macedonian question, one must say that in spite of the skillful historical and other arguments that have been put forth on the Serbian side, it is hard to dodge two facts.

They are not actually garrisoned by German armies, and they have not exercised any acts of war toward this country. Bulgaria maintains its own army and form of government; so far as known, neither Bulgarian nor Turkish troops are operating north of the Danube. Turkey is evidently under German control, and the armies are undoubtedly directed by German officers. Nevertheless, both Bulgaria and Turkey have respected American lives and interests; many of the leading Bulgarian statesmen and officers were educated at Roberts College, Constantinople...
