Comparisons of Balkan Nations
It is well for us to make some comparisons, in order that we may better understand the war in Southeastern Europe. Bulgaria is about the size of Ohio, and has about the same population. Vermont and New Hampshire put together would be about as large as Servia, but Servia has three times the population of these two states. Montenegro is smaller than Connecticut, with about one fourth of its population. Greece has about twice the population of West Virginia, and is about the same size. Turkey in Europe would compare favorably with Missouri as to territory, but twice its population. From the capital of Montenegro, Cettinjé, on the west, to Constantinople on the east, is about as far as it is from Chicago to Washington. Adrianople is about as far away from Constantinople as New York is from Albany. The territory is not large.
