The anaoanee- meat from Fans that the Thraeian dis pat la approaching aettlrment and the terms which are also foreshadowed tndi eate that we are to haTe one more of those Ttl compromises, of which there hare been, so many in the past months. Ai usual this is the result of an ef fort to satisfy a portion of the claims of two. 'contestants, for both of whom the acquisition; of a part will prore but an incentive for further effort to get all. The territory involved ia the present dispute- is practically all that was left of European Turkey after the Balkaa Wars, save that area reserved for aa .'Internationalized Constantinople, pro tided such a state shall presently be created! Boughly speaking it may be . described as the shores of the Black and Aegean interposing between Bui stria and the two seas. Historically this territory was Greek ia the Classical times, that is to say it was field of Hellenic colonization and culture. It was long held by the Bysantlne Empire and only fell to the Turk in the fourteenth century. There after it preserved its Greek character, it was partially colonized by Turks, but Adrianopl and the surrounding country still have a larger Greek 'than Bulgar population. . Ia the Srst Balkan War it was overran by Bulgarian armies which fought their victorious name oi ajuio Durgai uciwvra Adrianeple and the thatalja Lines im- 'mediately covering Constantinople. Ia the Srst treaty which wss made at Lon don, and designed to settle th Balkaa disputes Bulgaria acquired Adrianople ' and all Thrace down to the famoas - Eaos-Mlfla line, extending from the Aegean to the Black Beas, at these two ports. In addition Bulgaria acquired all of western ThrBee, including Kerala, as far as the Struma Biver, Greece -q uieced ia this settlement despite the fact thaUmost of the population, so far as it was not Turk, was Hellenic Bulgaria Attacks Treacherously ' But Bulgaria was not satisfied and ia Jane, 1913 she attacked both her Ureek and Serb allies treacherously with th purpose of taking both Balooiea and Macedoala, that is, the portion of Mace donia assigned to Serbia. She was an succvMfulja ibis holly Prussian pro ceeding aad as a result wss forced by the Treaty of Bucharest to give up Kavala to the Greeks, while the Turks retook Adrianople. Xow it is essential to recall this cir cumstances because the argument today raised, mainly by American representa tives, that the Bulgar must have part of Thrace, is based oa the assumption that if this is not assigned to them, s there will be another Balkaa war. Yet I E whea Bulgaria had with the consent of j 5 tits Herbs snd tue ureeas ana ine loreea assent ef the Turks, not merely the territory now in question, but muck more, when she had the two Aegean ports of Dedeagatch' and Kavala, only the former of whieh is now under de lists, she nevertheless precipitated Balkan War. S . Further than this, when at Bucharest, ' despite her unprovoked attack npoajg Greece, she wss still permitted to re- tai Dedeagatch, she again attacked Serbia and invaded Greece, this tims favored by the treachery of certain Greek garrisons. Again she was de feated, but not until she hsd one more been guilty of innumerable atrocities which were simed at exterminating th Greek population in Thrace. - It will be seen, therefore, taat mere is absolutely no foundation to ths ar gument that to giv Bulgaria Dedeagatch and a atrip of territory permitting di rect aecoa to th Aegeaa will p re- dads another Balkaa War. Whea shs had Dedeagatch and Kavala into th bargain ah attacked her - neighbors, whea ah was still permitted U hold Dedeagatch, sh mad a second attack. What Bulgaria seeks is all of Macedonia aad Salon ica, it was ta acquire these that ah has fought thro wars, with Turkey ia 1913 with Greeo aad Ser bia ia 1913, aad finally as a Gsrmaa ally in th reeeat World War. , It 1 aow proposed to give Greece mock of th contested territory, but to cut Greek territory. ia half by a aeu tral atrip descending the west bank of th alaritca to Dedeagatch. This is to be placed under th control of the Learns of Nations. But this simply mean that if th Leagu of Nations doss not garrisoa th atrip, if A men can. British and French troops ar not sent there, or if after a time the several, Great Powers weary of th thaakless task, then th strip will b th im mediate cans of a new war between Greee aad Bulgaria. - This compromise is jusuxiea ny in argument that Bulgaria must hare an outlet upoa th sea, but she has two admirabl porta apoa th Black Sea; with Coastaatiaopl internationalized, all th old difficulties du to Turkish policy disappear. Moreover Dedeagatch ia oaly aa opea roadstead, iaeapabl, givea Bulganaa usances, of improve meat, Th trouble with American policy here, aa elsewhere, is that it is based upon th assumption that to deal gener ously with aa enemy will make him freiad, ao matter who that enemy may be or what hi purposes. But in th ease of Bulgaria we have had three perfect illustrations within five or six years of th folly of such aa assumption. three times he has been allowed to hold country, much larger in area tbaa is now offered aa a sop and three times he ha attacked his neighbors, still his allies ia th first case, with absolute treachery. As a result of oar championship of th Bulgarians w hava forced th Greek to submit to Italian blackmail aad agree to recognize Italian claims to regions in Asia Minor in which there is aot aa Italiaa and to whieh th Greek claim ia incontestable, if th Turk ia to b deprived of his sov ereignty. At this priee the Italians have changed front and agreed to eupport Greek claims ia Thrace, but still Amer icas oppositioa continues and seems to be about to lead to a compromise, which eaa have ao other consequence than to foment Balkan rivalries and precipitate new Balkaa Wars. Why American policy at Paris is re solved to sacrifice the Greeks to the Bulgarians and the Rumanians to the Hungarians passes all comprehension, sine both races hsre been guilty of more offenses against the principle Amerieaa representatives are champion ing, thaa the very Germans themselves and have been the enemies of our al' lies ia a recent war. The proposed com promise, is then sn evil thing in itself, doublr evil, because it injures a ineao ly nation to placate a people, whieh will never be' satisfied, as every one who knows th Near East will agree, until it hae reeonquored Salonka aad Mona ster, as well as Adrianople and Kavala. Giving a wolf a crust of bread to make a lamb of him, is enlightened policy, by comparison with feeding, a few Greeks ia Thrace to th Bulgariaa in ths hope of mskiag him a consenting subscriber to the principle of ths LtagM of Natioas. .' - - ;v; PLANS FOR EXPANSION ' OF HOSPITAL COMPLETED Winston-Salem,' Aug. 8. flans for th expansion of th hospital facilities ef this city, mao possioie oy in -.,-000 beqaest in will of th 1st B.
