BULGAR LEADER j
i DEFIED RULEh
I _
COPENHAGEN, Jan., 'J— Stum
bulin.sky, who is reported back of tli
peasant government set up in Bulgai
ia, is a rough man and very populai
with the Bulgarian peasants, from
whom he sprung. He never feared to ;
tell Ferdinand the truth.
When F'ordinand threw Bulgaria’s
weight on the side of Germany, Stanri
bulinsky said to him:
‘This new adventure will comprom
ise not only the future of the country,
but your dynasty, and may cost you
your head.”
The king replied: “l>o not trouble j
about my head. It is an old one. Rath
er think of your own.”
As the king was moving away with 1
a scornful smile on his face Stam bo l-1
insky retorted, “My head matters lit- j
tie, sire: 1 am thinking only of the )
; country.”
