BALKANS.
BULGARIANS DEFIANT. STERN PUNISHMENT NEEDED. GROSS CRUELTY TO PRISONERS. Received Nov. 21, 9.30 p.m. London, Nov. 20. The Times' Sofia correspondent writes that Bulgaria is still thoroughly impenitent and needs stern punishment. The people regard themselves as unconquered, and act as tiaongh they had. actually won.
There have been repeated evasions of the armistice. The British authorities are patient, but the French general recently ensured obedience by threatening an immediate bombardment.
There were only 53,000 survivors out of 100,000 interned Serbs. Greek and Macedonian civilian prisoners have been terribly maltreated, being flogged and starved, while typhus patients were looked in empty houses and died by thousands.
The 250 British who were captured at Doiran were forced to march to Sofia, bootless and foodless. Many died on .the way.—Times Service.
