NONE FOR THE BULCARIAN.
[By Electric Telegraph—Copyright] [Unitep Press Association.]
(Received 10.30 a.m.) Perth, November 12
Mr H. Donohue, war correspondent ol the London Chronicle, and formerly a Sydney pressman, has arrived on a holiday." He says: "I have a very big and lasting affection and respect for the much-maligned Turk. He is a grand man naturally, and not cruel. On the other hand, the Bulgarian is an unmitigated brute. The Turk is a splendid lighting man. His disinters were due to the fact that he was neither led nor fed."
Mr Donohue is especially emphatic in his declaration that war has not losts its horrors. The last phase of this war was an event more horrible than the first.
Regarding national training, Mr Donohue says: "I do not believe in conscription, but I believe in Australia's defence methods. The results of the Balkans prove that training must bo carried out. The only way to keep peace is to be trained into possessing the ability to fly at the throat of the aggressors with a chance of hurting them."
