SOFIA, March 18 (Corresponadnci
of the Associated Press).—King Boris
of Bulgaria is confident that there is
not much danger of the spread o
Bolshevik doctrine among the peopli
of his country. In an interview witl
the correspondent of the Associates
rress, ne ueciareu mai, me nuiganai
people are too sensible and too en
grossed in their daily agrieultura
pursuits to bother with revolutionar;
schemes of government.
The king discussed with the cor
Respondent the disorder and chaos ii
ussia and the disturbed interna
tuation in Germany, and asked the
jrrespondent’s opinion whether Boi
nevism would obtain a hold on th<
■w German republic, or other Euro
R
an countries.
The interview took place in the
Jam in which only a few months age
|e young King Boris’ father, Kins
prdinand, had abdicated. The youth
$1 monarch, who is only twenty-five
• iars old, is very modest, democratic
tid unobstrusive in manner. Hk
hole appearance and bearings sug
ist the student rather than royalty
to fact he might be taken for an
merican college man. He has deli
ite, refined features, alert but kindly
eyes and a quiet, gracious address
and speaks excellent English. Hie
favorite occupation is mechanics and
engineering. He is able to drive a
locomotive and always operates his
own automobile.
The king wore the drab uniform ol
a major with a medal awarded for
bravery at the front on his breast. He
is extremely popular among the Bui
garian soldiers with whom he fought
side by side for three years in dan
gerous positions.
On the walls of the room in which
the king received the correspondent
were autographed photographs of the
crowned heads of many nations, but
that of the former Emperor William
of Germany was conspicuously absent.
A volue of the addresses of President
Wilson rested on a writing-table, and
in a bookcase nearby were several
American books and Bryce's Ameri
can Commonwealth.
The king expressed pleasure in
meeting the American correspondent
who, he said, was the first American
to visit Bulgaria since the begintnng
of the war. His first question was to
I ask if his visitor had any news relat
ing to the peace conference in the
doings of which the young king dis
played eager interest. He declared
that the Bulgarian people would long
£ be grateful to the United States for
(• its course toward Bulgaria during the
£ war.
^ “We have always had unshakeable
£ confidence in the friendship and good
will of your country, and the highest
1 admiration for the splendid principles
of your president,’’ said the king. "It
is this feeling which gave us reason
to hope that at the peace conference
the small but industrious Bulgarian
people will have their most powerful
support In the American republic and
its illustrious President. In the early
years of their national awakening, it
was the sons of America who gave
the Bulgarians the Bible in their own
tongue. t
1 “I think that the great mission
• which Providence has laid upon Presi
1 dent Wilson will be felt most bene
• ficially in the Balkans where the na
1 tions are awaiting justice and har
■ mony in their political relations in
: order to be able to enjoy enduring
1 peace, productive labor and true
morale and cultural progress.”
i Referring to the work of American
schools in Bulgaria, King Boris de
clared that their influence upon educa
E tion, culture and progress of the
s country was enormous. It was in the
i American schools at Constantinople
l and Samokov that some of Bulgaria’s
i best statesmen obtained their early
- training, he declared. The king ex
l pressed warm appreciaton of the
' services of Dominick H. Murphy,
formerly American charge d’ affairs
• in Bulgaria, and declared that Mr.
i Murphy was largely instrumental in
bringing about the cessation of hos
i tilites in the Balkans. Bulgarians, the
■jking said, would always remember his j
i sympathetic, friendly attitude.
The king paid high tribute to the
British forces in the fighting on the
Macedonian front, for their bravery
and their clean methods of fighting.
: "Gas attacks,” he said, "are unsports
manlike and an inhuman method of
! warfare.”
His fondest hope, said the king, was
to visit the United Staes after the
conclusion of peace. | He said he had
a strong desire to see America’s great
universites, manufacturing plants,
railway systems and public buildings.
