The Truth About Macedonia Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Truth About Macedonia The ethnical feature of Macedonia was fixed further back in the first half of the last century. The investi gations of archeologists, geographers, ethnographers, and learned travelers who have traversed the Balkan Penin sula with a scientific object, have very largely contributed to this. All this was done at a time when the national sentiment of the Christian peoples in the Balkans was not yet developed and when there were no chauvinistic animosities. It is just this fact which gives a scientific character to the investigations of these men. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Macedonian Problem: And Its Proper Solution The Object of this book is not to advocate the cause of any particular race or nation in their strug gle to mould the future destiny of Macedonia. On the contrary, in view of the conflicting pretensions of the Balkan States, as well as the unjust designs of the greater Powers of Europe with respect to the ultimate apportionment of this province, it is assumed that the most equitable solution of this problem would be to enforce Gladstone's memorable dictum Macedonia for the Macedonians. This principle once espoused, it becomes necessary to discuss the preliminary steps whereby it may be realized. The first step in this direction would be to check the deliberate and systematic extermination of the Macedonian people by the Turkish authorities. Then, in the second place, to provide the means for the immediate relief of thousands of Macedonians who are perishing from hunger and exposure in consequence of Turkish plunder and depredation. And, lastly, to institute reforms in the government of this people which shall conform to the require ments of civilized communities.

Excerpt from Macedonia: Its Races and Their Future Thessaly I watched a- Turkish trooper playing in the outskirts of Larissa with some httle Greek children. Ragged, unkempt, unsoldierly, he seemed a typical Asiatic. His complexion was swarthy, his nose curved and his curly beard set at that curious angle which one associates with Assyrian bas-reliefs. He may have come of the same stock which followed Darius when the East made its first assault upon European liberties. But the children saw in him only a kindly playmate. They were completely at their ease with him, fearless and confident as they might have been with some great gentle dog. He too was happy, a mere child of nature, a soldier by compulsion and a conqueror by accident. He lifted a little girl upon his shoulder that she might pluck the blossoms of a hawthorn tree. For a moment one almost forgot the barbaric notes of the military band rehearsing its tuneless hymns of conquest and of triumph in the square hard by. But suddenly across the road there appeared the indignant form of a Greek mother. She stood in the doorway of the Cafe of Byron and Independence, and a shrill voice called the little girl by name. Eleftheria, Eleftheria, it shouted, and the golden head of little Freedom slid down from the Turks shoulder. In the harsh accents of a scolding tongue, with words that were a war-cry at Marathon, the mother explained that patriotic children do not play with barbarians. The Turk slouched disappointed away, and little Freedom gazed wistfully after him. The baptism of revolt had set an impassable barrier between them.
