They were supplied with arms and wereurged to revolt. There is no doubt whatever that they had a great dealto complain of. They had been under the heel of official oppression forcenturies, although in that respect they were not much worse off thantheir Mahommedan neighbours, but they were a despised and abjectrace who ate forbidden food and who lived in an almost inconceivablecondition of personal uncleanness. To the Turkish peasant dirt isanathema maranatha; in his own station of life he is th...e cleanest manin the world, and if there is any dirtier person to be found than aBulgarian peasant, as I knew him in the war year, I can only say thatI have not yet discovered him. The Christian population (God save themark!) were forbidden by law to bear arms, and they were cowards bytradition. Villagers of the two races lived peacefully enoughtogether, though there was an open disdain on the one side always and asmouldering hatred on the other.
It befell that in a neighbouring village the Bulgarians broke intorevolution, and all the able-bodied Turks in Guemlik sallied out to theassistance of their countrymen, leaving only a few infirm old men andthe women and children.
