THE BRITISH REVIEW THE SECRETS OF THE BULGARIAN NOT for a long time has Europe been so startled as when, after the challenge of war had been flung at Turkey by the allied states of the Balkan League, and after a brief period of silence and uncertainty, there came the news of great victories for the Christian armies, following each other with amazing rapidity. At first the reports, so meagre in their details, were received with incredulity, almost with scorn. With only a few exceptions the military critics of the great newspapers in our own and other countries refused to believe that Turkey was being so easily crushed. They had believed in the military power of the Turks, in the fighting quality of the Turkish soldier, in the enormous reserve strength of the Turkish Empire. They were confident that in the long run the Crescent would thrust back these little states under the Cross, and give them a frightful hammering. They could not bring themselves to believe in the military organisation and efficiency of Greece. They mocked at Montenegro. They scoffed at the Servians, and although they had some respect for Bulgaria, they held fast to the opinion that Turkey would throw an overwhelming force at the Bulgarian front and smash it into a retreat behind the mountains. |
