Bulgaria now far removed from European fight
Sofia May 23 The closing of three large military hospitals signals Bulgaria's distance from the war in Europe. The Saloniki front remains quiet. Aviona attack concerns Austro-Hungarians. The Bulgarian army rests, reorganizes with German and Austro-Hungarian lessons, and reequips with trucks, furloughing 60,000 drivers and ox teams to farm. Bulgarian officers adopt German ways, uniforms, and greetings, viewing German officers as teachers while relations among the three armies stay cordial. Saloniki holds, evacuation would cost prestige, and Bulgaria sees no current aim to drive Allies from Saloni.
